but I saw someone's post in the forum
that told me it didn't had any driver for chatpad or ps3 Wireless Keypad on the windows OS

few month past
today I saw a post in other forum
that tell me ps3 controller and Wireless Keypad has driver on windows 32bit and 64bit
so in the nearly future

Xpadder supports all game controller drivers. When a driver is created Xpadder will magically be able to use the controller :D

Your post has given me the idea to create a new driver forum - you can find some interesting chatpad driver information here ;)

Thanks for the link and the info. Kinda made me wonder if xpadder could be programmed with all the buttons and mapped to the respective keys?

hey guys,

my question,
i heard, that a programmer names GAFBlizzard writed a driver for the xbox 360 chatpad. i buyed one in amazon but later i readed, i have to use a controller with usb kabel.
Did you find an update from him for the wireless vision?

i found the follow Link:

http://translate.google.de/translate?hl ... ge-54.html

My question to Jonathan:

why did you write no driver for the chatpad, is this so difficult or what?
Xpadder is a perfect programm which is easy to use. Isnt this doable to integrate a funktion in it?

Sry for my bad english

i dont think even the XBCD guys have ever figured out how the wireless reciver(which isnt availble seperatly anymore) works so i doubt GAFBlizzard has either

Driver writing is different to application writing and requires different knowledge and tools. Microsoft has not released any documentation either so writing a driver for the chatpad requires a lot of experimentation.

Both the wired and wireless (via the official receiver) controllers have drivers.

Chatpad drivers do not exist in any usable form currently.

Edit: I stand corrected sort of. See below.

Here are all informations about the chatpad driver.

Especially:
  • This software currently only works with WIRED 360 controllers. It may only currently work with the "Made for Windows" variant but that should change soon to support normal XBox 360 console controllers as well.
It works, but it is not quiet easy to install.

Heya guys, I have followed the directions here but I'm having an issue in the command prompt window. When I run the .exe file it comes back with the following:

Control utility started.
Failed to open config file "chatpad_config.txt".
There was an error while attempting to load config file "chatpad_config.txt".
Done. The exit status is -1.

igugu gamecore / 360 controller

Post by nathanvandyne »

DOES THIS WORK WITH XPADDER?? please say yes so I can buy the controller asap :twisted:

I'm going to post this here since it isnt getting anywhere. this would be all you need until actual drivers are released from MS instead of trying to mess with all of these workarounds.

this is pretty much the same exact thing as the 360 controller + chat pad. and probably comes out to the same price roughly when you buy both, with LESS of a hassle.
I just need to know if Xpadder can support this

looks VERY promising, and close to the 360 ctrl: this is the igugu gamecore
