What is TocaEdit Xbox 360 Controller Emulator?
TocaEdit Xbox 360 Controller Emulator (also known as x360ce) is a lightweight program that makes your controller (gamepad, joystick, wheel, etc.) function as an Xbox 360 controller on your PC. It does so by translating the XInput calls (the input standard for Xbox 360 controllers) to DirectInput calls (the input standard for most PC controllers). This way, you can play games such as "Grand Theft Auto" or "Mafia II" using a Logitech Wheel or any other controller that is not natively supported by the game.
How does it work?
TocaEdit Xbox 360 Controller Emulator works differently depending on the version you use. The latest version (4.x) uses a Virtual Gamepad Emulation Driver (ViGEmBus) by nefarius, which creates a virtual controller inside your Windows operating system when running. The older version (3.x) uses a custom xinput1_*.dll file, which replaces the original xinput1_*.dll file in your game folder when running. Both versions allow you to remap buttons and axes and to adjust settings such as vibration, deadzone, sensitivity, etc.
What are the benefits of using it?
Using TocaEdit Xbox 360 Controller Emulator has several benefits for PC gamers who prefer using controllers over keyboards and mice. Some of these benefits are:
You can use any controller you want with any game you want, as long as the game supports XInput devices.
You can customize your controller layout according to your preferences and needs.
You can enhance your gaming experience with features such as force feedback, analog triggers, rumble motors, etc.
You can save money by not having to buy an Xbox 360 controller or an adapter for your PC.
