Xbox 360 controller problems

PKSkyler · Post by **PKSkyler** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 4:20 pm

Hello Im new to this forum so ill just make this my greeting post, how are you etc etc.

Anyway Ive been trying to use an Xbox 360 controller(wired, USB) to play ZSNES. Its gone pretty good until actually playing. Basically its not very responsive or too responsive, it wont always tell it to go which way I push or it will continue going left even after I let go of the stick. This mostly messes w/ me when im playing super mario and it really screws with my menu choices in earthbound.

Im using JoyToKey and I have all the latest drivers. Ive tried recalibrating but to no avail. Can anyone please help me out? Thanks for your time.

Why the fuck are you using JoytoKey? ZSNES lets you configure your controller, and has since at least 1999. >.>

Ok...sorry. How do I configure my controller though? And will it really make a difference if im using JoyToKey or configuring with ZSNES?

*head desk*

Read the readme. It will give you most of the answers you seek.

And yes, there's a difference. If the game/app supports controller, it will work better than mapping it using joytokey, which is basically a giant hack(Albiet a needed one for many games. >.<).

Ok well I still cant get my controller to work, when i go to try and config-> input and then I hit set keys it says "press key for up" I hit up on my 360 controller and then ZSNES freezes and I have to ctrl alt delete to close it.

o_O

that's some weird driver problem or something.

Edit: What version of Zsnes are you using? The latest 1.51.

probably because joytokey is still installed, probably because the 360 controller was never installed

Hello. Im new to this stuff and i don't know much about ZSNES. I just downloaded it yesterday. I also downloaded donkey kong rom with it. I did not like the controls so i decided to use my 360 controller. I don't want to make a new topic about this because there are already too many topics about ps3/360 controller help, so i just posted it here. I installed the software that the controller needs from Microsoft's site. I opened zsnes (btw i'm too stupid to learn the name of the emulator) and went to config and changed the keys. I tried to play but it was all messed up. The buttons were working sometimes they were not. And it totally messed up the sound. I have no idea how to fix this. I have ZSNES 151

please help

intermittent keys and messed up sound has little or nothing to do with your Xbox 360 controller that you apparently got working.

The board filter strikes gain for another emu name misspelling.

Your signature was changed by the swear filter because you said zsnes (btw i'm too stupid to learn the name of the emulator) and not ZSNES.

WTH is the board filter?

And can't the mods change it?

Edit: Well now i know how to spell it. Can someone change it back? PLEASE?

Think of it is a "word" replacer for certain words that you type out.

And can't the mods change it?

If we wanted to...

Edit: Well now i know how to spell it. Can someone change it back? PLEASE?

You know can edit your own sig...

_An~Alien_ · Post by **_An~Alien_** » Fri Aug 29, 2008 1:04 am

Exactly.

Well, now it is working. Before it wasn't.

probably because joytokey is still installed,

I have the same problem using pinnacle (3rd party software). It freezes when I try to use input controls in zsnes like first post. Since I don't want to give up pinnacle (allows 360 controller to browse around windows) I found a work around.

I just tell zsnes to bind to keyboard keys, then tell pinnacle to point 360 controller to those keys.
