XBCD
Published July 4th, 2008 in UncategorizedXBCD is a driver that allows owners of a Xbox controller to use it on a Windows computer. The controller itself is an USB device with an extra wire (V-sync, usually yellow). With an appropriate adaptor, users can use the controller with a PC.
XBCD also supports Xbox 360 Controllers, allowing them expanded support for DirectInput.
The actual software allows users to use the vibration functions of the Xbox controller, and remap the buttons and axes of the controller. As an example, pressing X on the controller could be mapped so that it increments the X-axis in whatever game you are playing.
XBCD uses DirectInput 8, and may include Xinput support in the future.
Current development of XBCD aims to add support for Wireless Xbox 360 controllers. Wireless controllers for the PC are known to have issues using XBCD as they require a driver for their individual receivers, and report different values than the wired controller.
A new version of the setup utility has been developed to support both Xbox 360 and Xbox controllers, as well as improving performance when running and adding various user interface enhancements.
