Some of you would have noticed the Xbox application logo pop up when you want to launch a game on your windows. That is because Xbox is owned by Microsoft and Windows too. Windows support Xbox gamepads.

Most of the pads in stores, like Ucom gamepads, are hard to configure, especially if you are not the techy type. If they even work you will notice some buttons don’t configure automatically.

Some games do create a space for manual configuration, which makes it easier to configure for gamepads that are not Xbox brands. Games like the far cry 3 are already configured only for the Xbox gamepad, and no space for manual configuration.

But not to worry, with the x360ce application, you can emulate the Xbox gamepad how?

For those who are new to emulators. Emulators are software or applications that copy or imitate, for example, the Ppsspp emulator. It could also be an operating system, like the Bluestacks android emulator or something else.

The X360ce will emulate your gamepad like an Xbox gamepad. which means your PC will see your generic or other gamepad brands as an Xbox gamepad.
