Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

ugggggggh ppl

Oh god, now I wanna replay FF9!
But I wanna get the jump rope key item if I do, and I suck at that... and I'd have to redo the Athlete Queen race again later, too, and that was so hard last time...

I'll replay DMC 1 & 3 sometime soon :x reboot is an abortion and should be erased from history

Come to think of it, a lot of those mini games in the old FFs were pretty terrible and difficult. I think the only one I really got into were the Colosseum in FFVI and the monster capturing super mega bosses in X.

Oh and the Choco-graph exploration was cool too, but *** Hot & Cold. That ***was infuriating.

Somebody finally puts a cursed kabuto -1 on the AH...and they want more than the last 8 sales in the history... F THAT PERSON SELLING! :(

the 360 controller (with the stock drivers) is recognized as a x-input device.

FFXI requires a direct-input device.

Windows will automatically switch it, but their built in functionality doesn't enable certain features.

I'm fairly certain there's 3rd party drivers that will enable the full functionality of the device, but I haven't bothered to look for them, I will soon as I'd like to enable them too, as I just removed motioninjoy to be even able to use my 360 wifi adapter, and my logitech controllers are busted, I'd prefer to use the 360 controller as I have more of them.

I just haven't looked into it hardcore yet, I could possibly this weekend. Then again, assuming somebody with the knowledge in that article could possibly write a driver, if they knew how.

and as to FF9:

1. *** the jump rope minigame.

2. *** the lack of a new game+

3. what was the althete queen again?

4. I'd consider abusing save states to attempt the jump rope minigame or finding an Asian kid to do it if I could somehow hack in a new game+

hmm?

Good to see you Chuuuu~

Well, we didn't make it to Devali Jonah or whatever his ***' name is, but 80 3 times on the way to 100 and we got to floor 90+ on every run.

A SMASHING SUCCESS! For our first night~

ah ok. thx

as to the 360 controller thing again:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBCD

is a custom driver that should get a 360 controller to work for games like XI and other games that don't like xinput.

However using that you'd have to use a "wrapper" for each xinput game you want to play with that controller, if all you play is XI, then use it, if you play other PC games (mostly new ***) you probably shouldn't use it.

if I read the guide right, this software should let you configure the controller differently for different programs:

and would be better for those who play a lot of new games, that need X-input.

I'd personally probably try the first route and just deal with what doesn't like a direct input device on a case by case basis, there's tools that let you emulate a 360 controller with a direct input device, and yes I do realize that you'd be taking a xinput device, making it a direct input and then using another tool to reverse it, but that would probably be the best option in a lot of cases for those who don't want a lot of programs running, and aren't that computer savvy.

Personally for XI, I'd like to see SE add xinput functionality, but as seeing as they want to drop the controller for the new UI, I doubt it. I wonder if the Windower guys would be kind enough to attempt such a thing. I can find the resources (I think) to do such a thing, I just don't know how to code it... I'm going to talk to a few friends of mine who may be able to though.

edit: the XBCD will not work with the wireless reciever as of this time (just looked, after I installed it...) I didn't test to see if it works with the charge kit.)

going to quote so people can see the bottom.

woah, /wave

Well, I'm off to deliver and test out my stepdad's birthday gift.
Hopefully it works out well. Catch you all later~
On a side note: Nice to have you back Vinvv :D

I'm weary of that thing, we have one here, but I've never used it.

Most quality bluray players have that functionality built in, as to the level of difference, idk.

I do notice that the device shows up on the network, I've never attempted to toy with it though...

I have the older model of that one. I really have no complaints with it. It's pretty nice to have something around to stream movies on without having to tie up a PC or gaming system, etc.

Tonights dinner is..

I want!
