XBOX 360 controller for XP drivers.

Apparently the microsoft driver is .. (All 17MB of it).

 

So XBCD XBOX 360 driver exists and is apparently quite good. However in the guide to installing it you apparently have to first install the MS driver, then run the XBCD driver afterwards.

 

What i am wondering is - can you just skip the MS driver bit and just install the XBCD driver only? I am curios also why it is only about 800K as opposed to the MS driver's 17MB? is it an add on driver that requires the MS driver to be there also?:

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I get the MS driver first and try it with CMR Dirt.

 

Then install the XBCD driver to see if I get better configuration

(apparently it has deadzone controll which the MS driver doesn't have.)

Strange thing is, you can control the deadzone from within games anyway, I think.

Just got this reply from the author of the XBCD drivers:

 

It is not required. But since almost 99% of the users cam to my site after already installing the microsoft drivers i made the site based on that. If you have just reformated and not yet installed microsoft drivers then all you do is run the installer. Plug in the controller and it will auto search the drivers. Then another found new hardware wizard comes up saying HID-compliant device and just keep clicking next for it also and now the controller is installed.
