PC Controller for NFSMW?


Recommended Posts

Yes 360 controller get's my vote 100%. It IS the future for PC gaming as well as Xbox.

And no I'm not just saying things PC game pads will be designed this way in the future and game developers will increasingly add support for it out of the box without any configuration required.

I don't recall what the default setup was in game, but I rebound mine and it works great. The one thing you may want to remember is that the controllers rumble features are not supported by any games yet. I posted some more info about this in another thread, but no one ever responded: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=399202

Nice...

If you can post back about things like ease of setup, etc. etc., I would be interested in reading.

Yeah, I just got one too,

the X360 controller is lovely, pressure sensitive. it's HOT.

The driver is flawless.. it's awesome. cept I don't get force feedback. yet.

I am hopign there will be like Microsoft Keyboard apps centre for the X360 controller.

But in prior to that, I use the logitech rumble pad 2. it's similar to PS2's controlelr.

I've got a rumble pad 2 there in june, is it worth getting a 360 from that? I know they'll make the 360 a standard cuz they'll pour tons of money into it.

Cowwithoutabrain mentions a rumble compatabilty problem? Anyone getting that in say NFSMW?

The issue is that the Xbox 360 controller's driver only supports rumbling through XInput, rather than DirectInput. Currently, no games that I know of support XInput, which is why I made that thread. The only things that I have seen that supports XInput are some samples in the DirectX SDK. An easy way to see if a game supports XInput, is if your Xbox 360 controller's "ring of light" lights up in a quadrant to show that you are player one.

Ring of light stuff sounds neat, but I dunno about lacking FF in many/all games right now thats kinda a deal killer for me right now :(, ah well, I'm still tempted.

The person who created XBCD, a driver for the original Xbox controller, may end up supporting the Xbox 360 controller as well. If he does end up supporting it, then we may be able to use the force feedback, as well as being able to make use of the guide button. This is of course not guaranteed, and I don't know how long it takes him to release new versions of his driver, so it may be a little while.

360 controller gets my vote, been using it, it's GREAT for NFS....if you have a relatively new comp, it will feel like your playing it on 360 (especially with a nice LCD)

default controls

start- pauses

Left Trigger, brake

Right trigger, gas

alternate left trigger- camera angle

alternate right trigger- moves camera back some ( i think)

A - hand brake

b- turbo and "enter" button when game is paused or in menu

x- matrix mode and "back/exit" when the game is paused or in menu

y- look back

D-pad Up - enter race/shop

down - toggle races/milestones/bounty

right - toggle map

left - toggle something else

Right analog stick

UP- shift up

down - shift down

Left Analog stick

Left - left

Right - right

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
