NFS Rivals PC - How to use Logitech Dual Action Gamepad (CONFIRMED SOLUTION) [ Edited ]

[acarnegi]

Hello:

I have detailed how I got my Logitech Dual Action Gamepad to work using x360ce emulation program.  It is not perfect - I do get I warning message before I boot up saying that the configuation settings file is out of date, but it does work!  If anyone knows how to correct this problem, let me know.

See text below.  Much thanks to Bob422 for doing the original research (I just explained in a little more detail how I got it to work).  Hope this helps for you!  Original thread here:  http://ngemu.com/threads/need-for-speed-rivals.159193/#post-2134149

HI,

I tried what Bob422 suggested above and I can confirm that it worked for me. I have a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad. This is what I did:

1. Download x360ce_lib64_r766.zip and x360ce.App-2.1.2.191.zip from the X360ce website http://code.google.com/p/x360ce/downloads/list

2. Unzip both files and put contents into a folder on the desktop. Rename the existing dll file called 'xinput1_3' to 'xinput9_1_0.'

3. Open the x360ce (configuration settings) file and copy the following under [InputHook]:
HookLL=0
HookCOM=1
HookSA=0
HookWT=0
HookDI=1
HookPIDVID=1
HookName=1

4. Copy the entire contents of the folder into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed(TM) Rivals

5. Double-click on the Need For Speed Rivals (64 bit) icon on your desktop to start.

NOTE: For some reason I get a warning message after I double-click the icon that says the configuration file version does not match the x360ce version and that some options may not work properly. However, I just click ok and the game boots up. It works! You should hear a bell or 'ding' sound that lets you know that x360ce is working! Does anyone know where I can get the proper configuration settings file?

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS FOR YOU! HOPE IT HELPS!

My Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
AMD Phenom II X4 945 @ 3.0 GHZ
RADEON 5770 1GB

HI:

I found out a solution to prevent the warning message from popping up saying that the config. file is out of date.  You need to type 'Version = 1' under the [Options] heading.  See my configuration file settings below.  Enjoy!

You can also use logitech profiler to rebind your gamepad to mirror keys on the keyboard . Works without any errors

If you have some problems with sticks just increase deadzone to 100%

Thank you acarnegi for posting this and explaining it in more detail than I did at the ngemu forum. I got a few of my friends up and running with x360ce today that use wheels, so I was busy and then we got to racing. It worked on a Fanatec Porsche wheel and a Thomas Super wheel for those guys so it should work on just about anything. Hopefully this is only a temporary workaround and Ghost adds wheel/controller support officially.

[BabyCanBeatMe]

It worked man you r the hero!

And EA sucks this time lol

[kuzjnvn]

im playing with logitech momo :D , config it like gamepad , but have some deadzone in my wheel, anybody use logitech momo racing ?

[Bob422]

If you feel like there is too much deadzone, go to the advanced tab in x360ce and use the ANTIDEADZONE drop down menu for the left stick and select maybe 20% to start with. I would not go above 80% as that tends to cause problems. Hope that helps.

[kuzjnvn]

thanks you , it perfect

[dreamwriternfs]

I have installed the x360emulator with xinput9_1_0.dll but how do you configure the controls? I have a logitech dual action gamepad and with the emulator the buttons are all wrong and I cant steer the car or accelerate or break properly.Please help me.

Thanks,
