xbox360 Controller in 64bit prefix
De1m0s Jul 25, 2017
Did anyone made his (wired) xbox360-controller to work in 64 bit wine-prefix?
I have 2 different prefixe, and Witcher3, Rise of the TombRaider and Dark Souls 3 installed. None of the games recognize the controller. I played a lot of 32bit games in wine; somehow i always made the controller to work. But not now.

I tried nativ and with the x360ce-files. Nothing. In control panel under "Gamecontroller" it's working. Even in the XInputTest.exe everything is ok.
Sadly not in the games.
I always install the newest wine-prefix; i guess this is not the problem. It must be something with the 64bit environment.

I followed this ste-by-step guide and worked for me: http://boilingsteam.com/a-step-by-step-guide-to-make-controllers-work-in-wine/

Just remember to use the 64b version of x360ce. Also, for The Witcher 3, if you add the executable to Steam and launch it from there you can use Steam Controller as well.

I´ll give this a try. But i was in the opimion, when the controller works in ControlPanel, it should work in the games.

In steam, it´s possible to configure any controller that´s connected, not only the steam-controller. Sadly, this can be done only in BigPictureMode, that doesn´t work for me (see other post).

Somewhere in the comments is a link to phoronix.com-site.
There is written:
QuoteX360ce stopped working (as it used to be) with Wine after the 1.9.24 vanilla release. The last (compatible with x360ce) Wine Staging release is 1.9.23.
Although a simple xinput override could fix it.

From the changelog:
xinput1_1: Prefer builtin DLL.
xinput1_2: Prefer builtin DLL.
xinput1_4: Prefer builtin DLL.
xinput9_1_0: Prefer builtin DLL.
So override them in winecfg to: (native, builtin).

But that still does not work für me;

A bit late, but I was able to make the controller work in wine by downloading this: https://github.com/kozec/dumbxinputemu
