Is there a way I can emulate a Xbox 360 controller on the pc?

Question

On my PC, I have a non xbox controller which has exactly the same button scheme as xbox controllers.

I cannot play a lot of windows live games (like Fallout 3 , Batman : Arkham Asylum) using it though because it's not a genuine xbox controller. Is there some sort of program that will allow me to emulate my controller so that it'll be recognized as an xbox controller for the pc?

Answer 1

Use Xbox 360 Controller Emulator: http://www.tocaedit.com/IB/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=54

Here's a handy little guide (for an older version but might be relevant): fragtheplanet.com/808/emulate-an-xbox-360-controller/

(apply the www. on the second link yourself, as I don't have rights to post more than one link >_<)

Answer 2

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this myself.

You can try a profiler like this one (paid) or this one (free). I'm sure there are others, too. It looks like they work by setting up a mapping between your controller and the keyboard/mouse, so you should be able to set your controller up without relying on the game recognizing it.
