It seemed that there are a few people floating about having problems with the Xbox 360 controller for Windows, especially a couple on GTA: San Andreas (including me)

However, I finally accomplished a full map of all the practical controls in the SAAC (San Andreas Advanced Control)

This very useful tool is available for dowload through GTAGaming.com (San Andreas Advanced Control v1.2)

The config file I have created is attatched at the bottom of the post...

The controls are as follows....

Please Note: The A Button is SPRINT while on foot.

On Foot...

In Vehicle...

Follow the link to the attatched file "presets.txt" below, copy and paste all the text on the page into a new notepad document then save the file as "PRESETS.INI" in the SAME FOLDER that you save the .exe application for the SAAC tool, run SAAC along side San Andreas in the background each time you play, and don't forget to select the XBOX 360 controller configuration in the list at the bottom, and save any changes you make!

Enjoy!

Is there anyway to fix the wired 360 left thumbstick??? I didnt everthing right but the left stick moves my character even when im not and it wont stop only does it with San Andreas too... Realling F-in annoying.

It's called "controller drift", and it's a pain in the arse

It's a bit hard to explain from memory, but you need to take the controller apart, and pull the plastic part of the thumbstick off.

You will see these thin bits of metal that arch over the rods. (not using the right words there, I'm sure, but hopefully when you look at it, you'll know what I mean)

Anyway, you need to bend that bit of metal (very slightly) so that it forces the thumbstick back into the correct default position.

It will probably take a bit of trial and error, but it worked great for me.

OK, here you see somebody has used a rubber band to do the same thing...

you can see the bit of metal/copper I was talking about.

I'd say my way was better, because I don't see that rubber band lasting very long.

Old thread, but I'm going to answer you anyway. Most of these programs come with a way to change the "Dead Zone" of the sticks. Just make the dead zone a little bigger and you shouldn't have a problem anymore.

    • Microsoft accidentally replaced Windows 11 startup sound with one from Vista

      By +Peter Alexander London · Posted

      Since win 95 I never used system sound; only the first time to check if the sound card works; after that no annoying click sounds and whistles on every key stroke or every notification. That's why I have my taskbar on top, you'll notice the notification center way sooner at the top right than at the bottom right.

      By Steven P. · Posted

      6000MT/s is the sweet spot for DDR5, so then you would be thinking about cache latency, and again CL30 (or lower) is great but don't take my word for it here is a guide I used on my own system with 64GB Kingston Fury CL36 6000 now running at CL30 https://www.patreon.com/posts/low-effort-rank-77403831
    • Here is a list of Samsung Galaxy watches that won't be supported after September 2025

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Here is a list of Samsung Galaxy watches that won't be supported after September 2025 by Sayan Sen Samsung Gear S3 Samsung has confirmed that support for its Tizen-powered smartwatches will officially end in September 2025. The decision marks the final phase of a gradual wind-down process that began last year and reflects the company’s strategic shift toward its Wear OS–powered devices from its own in-house Tizen. If you recall, the South Korean giant began moving away from it back in 2021. The phase-out started on September 30, 2024, when the Galaxy Store stopped offering paid content for Tizen devices. This was followed by another key deadline on May 31, 2025, when new downloads of free Tizen content were disabled. Finally, by the end of September 2025 later this year, users will no longer be able to re-download any previously purchased content via the Galaxy Store. At the time, Samsung had shared the following timeline in an official "Tizen Watch Service Termination Schedule" notice as it wrote: While Samsung has not specified the list of affected wearable devices that will no longer receive Tizen support after September 2025, the following products are likely to be getting the axe: Galaxy Gear Series Samsung Galaxy Gear (Original model) Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 Samsung Gear S3 Classic Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Galaxy Watch Series (Tizen-based) Samsung Galaxy Watch (First Generation / Galaxy Watch 1) Samsung Galaxy Watch Active Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Thus, devices launched after the Galaxy Watch3, including the Galaxy Watch4 series and subsequent models, are built on Wear OS and remain unaffected by this transition. On the flip side, Samsung is not planning to switch to Google TV for its TVs, as these still come preloaded with its own Tizen OS, and even offer seven years of support.
