XOutput VS stadiacontroller

Xoutput - is maybe the simplest but x360 only.

I've been playing with using XOutput + HidHide to cause Windows to see the the ALP controls as an Xbox controller instead of the generic device it normally appears as, and it seemed to significantly improve the input latency in FX. But there are other downsides and quirks that it causes, including problems actually launching the ball in some of the FX tables, so it might also end up being a non-starter.

I’m using this as a hub for mainly a GameCube emulator and those controllers do not have Xinput so it wont work in Playnite. I used this to map the controller to XInput and then added an extra line in the Launch Playnite.bat file to also open XOutput on startup

Does your ipac have a dinput mode? If so, xoutput may work https://github.com/csutorasa/XOutput/issues/210

I know a fair number of people would like to be able to use their HOTAS with NMS (plenty pancake players, not just VR players who dislike the virtual HOTAS we get). A problem for PC VR players, though, is that any solution might leave you stuck with the HOTAS for all play and that wouldn't be so great. But I've seen a couple of people in other subs say that they use XOutput for this and that it lets them switch seamlessly between HOTAS and motion controllers, detecting when they put one device down and pick up the other.

https://github.com/71/stadiacontroller this will also work.

Im quite sure ds4 wont work but yes there are other Tools to translate stadia Controller into a xbox controller. https://github.com/71/stadiacontroller

Maybe this tool still works? I haven't tried it. Steam has a built-in tool that does this for games launched from Steam but I don't know if you can add Xbox Game Pass games to the Steam launcher.

Currently my Windows PC can connect to the controller, and with the help of stadiacontroller and ViGEmBus it works great with Steam games.

for those interested 1. download & install ViGEm 2. download, unzip and run StadiaController Has to be running everytime you want to use the controller. this will emulate everything perfectly

The controller doesn't work natively, you have to emulate it as an Xbox controller, ya can do this in the steam settings or alternatively use this software https://github.com/71/stadiacontroller a command prompt will pop up, leave it open and ya controller will work on all games.

Using this software to emulate it as an XboX controller: https://github.com/71/stadiacontroller. Works fine with USB and BT. Officially not maintained anymore, but don't see any reason why it shouldn't keep working.

I found this one on Github and it works great.

Just go to this Gtihub repo and download the latest version available.
