stadiacontroller VS x360ce

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.

Your might need to use https://github.com/x360ce/x360ce

I use a Joystick and the x360ce emulator to map it's functions to a virtual gamepad. Not perfect, but works a lot more precise than an actual gamepad.

On PC you have a few options. Most simplistically some games will let you adjust at least the deadzone size in a config or ini file if the in-game menu doesn't have an option. Durazno and x360ce can alter the stick input, functionally turning square deadzones into radial ones but the game needs to use .dll files in its library to work which limits its use. [DS4Windows]((https://ds4-windows.com/))(need a PS4 controller) and Steam Input have deadzone and antideadzone options, but to counter axial deadzones I think you also have to use axial deadzones too(could still counter the size). reWASD(paid)'s full version can allow you alter the stick curve to functionally set up an antideadzone and alter the curve, but I'm not sure if it can address games with axial deadzones.

i downloaded from https://github.com/x360ce/x360ce/wiki/Beta-Testing but i noticed now when i hover over the place to download the rar file it has another site so i guess this is a botnet

I installed the free software https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_Explorer and then let it run and then started valenting. In the explorer processes I saw an error entry with a red label. I doubleclicked on it and it told me an entry in the windows eventviewer was created. I went into the eventviewer and saw this: https://i.imgur.com/2AjLcmR.png. Then I googled "ezfrd64.dll crash" and found this website: https://github.com/x360ce/x360ce/issues/1178 They talk about the driver of some gamepad. I also installed a gamepad driver recently called "Speedlink". I removed said driver from my system and now citra valentin is starting up again.

I recommend the UCR (Universal Controller Remapper) software. It is kind of difficult to setup but it is the most responsive software I've used. Alternatively, you may try XOutput or X360ce, which are simpler but you may run into problems.

You can use x360ce to map joystick axes and buttons to what looks to the program like the expected controller inputs. I use it all the time with an old Logitech joystick. Works fine. Here's my current mapping.

Not really, but if you are not using a Xbox-compatible controller you can use an Xinput wrapper such as UCR, x360ce or even the controller configurator built into Steam Big Picture. If you are using an Xbox controller and you see "Button 1..." in a game, then that game probably is too old to support Xinput and is using Dinput instead, and I doubt there's anything you can do.
