Not at simple step, you need use profile to programming the controller to get work with GTA San Andreas because Xbox 360 is digital since many Logitech controllers are analog.

xbgmer trust me the xbox360 controller works beautiful on the PC. During my time with my old Gateway Celeron PC in 1999, I used a Gravis GamePad Pro USB and that pad sucked worse than the xbox360 controller.

At least older PC games have infinite ways to customize your buttons even if your using the xbox360 pad. Its just setting the buttons to your liking. Too bad those old PC games dont support rumble. That suxs cuz I like my controller rumbling all the way.

On some "Games for Windows" PC games, the xbox360 controller should have no problem configuration. On some non-GFW games the compatiability with the xbox360 controller is a hit or miss ugh.

At least the combination of the xbox360 controller and the PC is like made in heaven esp when I dont worry about the xbox360 console getting a RROD on me. Really M$ should be making more PC games esp when they had the Games for Windows banner going and only a limited amount of games under that program ugh.

I have Xbox 360 controller for PC too so use for GTA IV, GRID and other sandbox/racing games.

Xbox 360 controllers are unable to auto programming on old games like GTA San Andreas so already tested on control configuration and really sucks in my opinion so you need use game profiler to get setting so properly but I use Logitech controller for old games instead of buy game profiler, there's link about game profiler.
Add gamepad / joystick support to any game - Pinnacle Game Profiler

There's picture of my Xbox 360 controller and wireless receiver, sorry for crappy picture from BB.


Not all PC games are made from MS and it's up to game developers who make decision to support GFW/Live on PC games, I'm personally dislike Live support for PC games but I have live with it but more time to settle with mods, also there's some newer PC games without GFW does support Xbox 360 controller by auto programming.

Edit, Yup, Xbox 360 controller does work so great on PC games if Xbox 360 controller setting is included like rest of GFW games.

1) Unbelivable! U bring old controller up about Gravis Game Pad for PC in past. Yeah I still have Gravis Xterminator Force Game Pad. in 1998, I purchased it. I didnt use it, because game pad is complicate. I put away it's somewhere in boxes.

2) Sab, I honestly dont have any own games for pc. but I stopped and picked up second hand xb360 games from pawn shop. I saw pc games, they selling GTA: san anderas for 5 bucks. Thats why I asked by this.

3) Of course GFW games are capable with X36 controller pad. but i talking about if old pc games can work with x360 controller or not. thats question i asked for.

4) I know what do you mean about you want to play games on PC instead of console would end up the RROD.

5) Yeah I wish MS and other developers such as Unreal, thq, midway, brash on and on makes more games for PC. but remember that they committed to console, game developers will be focus games for console instead of pc. I remembered thats last year what i read article somewhere internet, said some developers will not make games for pc. Because pc games weren't good selling on market. they seeing more and more custom gamers buy games for console than pc.

thats why I am a die-hard CONSOLE GAMER!

1) Yes thats exact what i asked for. thank you for gave a test and inform.

2) Foxrc, Million, million Thanks for linking thats what I was looking for. I rather have this programming for x369 controller pad instead of buy another pc controller specs.

3) You dont need to worry about crappy picture.. this is better than nothing picture.. Ha .. anyway I like black controller, its more look sexy! So, I can see your black controller is match with black/grey desktop.

I found out about game profiler has trial version so I will try it out to play GTA: SA with X360 controller so will let you know.

There's reason because PC games aren't widely market because console has become more popular due cheaper and in few years ago, the GeForce 8800 GTX cost around $500-$600 so when after GeForce 9800 GTX+ (that what I have one) released, cost at around $200 as new GeForce 200 series like GeForce GTX 260 cost around $300 or less, it's good thing about price of graphic card has dropped so you can build a gaming PC at cheaper, I know that AMD is cheaper than Intel and in last 10 years ago, computer hardware was cost more so I couldn't remember because some people told me and did you remember that?

I'm fine with console but prefer PC due mods and tweaks, I usually buy console version if my favorite games aren't released on PC or can't meet requirement system, only problem is about being college studentand probably unable to bring desktop PC so I would probably sticking with console if some PC games can't fit on MacBook Pro.

I'm glad that I have X360 and already had motherboard replaced due RROD and I hopefully it would survive until next gen of Xbox in 2011-2012.

You just wondering "HOW I DO KNOW IT FREE"?

I did give a try to played this games. its my first time to play it online by PC.. I noticed that BFH is a beautiful game. Graphics are incredible, With its fun cartoon-style graphics. its only multi players online thru server. the game caters to players of all skill levels. You need register it before access server to playing online..

Battlefield Heroes Hits 2 Million Registered PC Players.. Battlefield Heroes is a fun game. If you are fan of battlefield series or comic games, then go to downloading it about 400MB. enjoy & play it.

Good Luck!

1) Yeah, please let me know how it turn out..

2) Of course I am f@#king crazie FAN of AMD, it is my HIGHLY demands! and MUST! Yeah ofc I always do building my own PC desktop rather than buy the factory desktop pc such as dell, mac, hp, alienware.. you have seen my own built PC pictures somewhere this forums. keep in mind: I am PC! no else..

3) The main reason why I admire console systems is because they're TRULY economical. Once I bought the system, it will be the primary base for all games related to the developer and its franchises and licensees for years. once I buy a console system there won’t be any more major PC hardware upgrades to purchase, in my opinion. With a PC, you must continually upgrade your hardware system which Games are demand as always. The average cost of a PC is also in the range compared to console’s hundred-dollar range.

Most PC developers provide a complete game and will strive to correct problems encountered after the release with patches that users must download. Console games as is and will never change nor downloading patches once released.

Mainly Console system again is the better choice for hardcore gamers. Console is a family of PC system components.

4) My third times I replaced ones. Like I said in another thread: all xbox 360 are absolutely disposable consoles, period. Yes, I have dealing with XB360 system issues.. Anyway I heard that next gen XBox console will runs BY AMD. I believe that they will run both AMD AND ATI hardwares.

My next PC will be built by myself after had bad experience with Dell case with too many LED light so hard to remove due soldered and I have cut the partial board that where LED light is settled so no more annoying LED light.

I know about console is part of PC family and it would much better if Xbox 360 use Windows Vista or 7, also MS need disable on achievement and online save if cheat, trainer or mods are detect, that's part of my idea.

Console games does have patches that offered by Xbox Live update like Bully was buggy at first release so Rockstars offered patches via Xbox Live to download and install the upgrade so Bully run so smooth, same with PS3 has patches too. Use patches on console is just known as update.

I have agree with you about gaming PC cost more than console, however if you buy high end CPU, GPU so it will last for around 5 years or little longer.

Oh really, I would freak out if my Xbox 360 get RROD again soon and I would worry about lose all save games that I made due different console ID so MS should remove the console ID so only locked to profile ID so easier to transfer. Some GFWL (Games For Windows - Live) save games are locked to profile ID only so that's good and other rest are none, just open to all share.

1) Yeah you should build your own pc, because it makes your experince and fun. it will be your new hobby. thats why I am here to support.

2) I dont think MS would do.. look at that MS going to disable their console for the unauthorized memory unit/ unauthorized HDD storage.. thats F#%king $ucks!

3) I dont know that console games does have patches that offered by Xbox Live update for bully games.. but I didnt see that way patches by xbox live update for games as some reasons. because I sometime surfing xbox marketplace online..

4) Yeah of course, I would buy the high ended video card, but if i really interested to participate on gaming demand aka the cloud gaming. i would dont have to worry about upgrade videocard every 5- 6 years. because the cloud gaming doesn't required spec hardwares. Unless I want to get downloading DD gaming aka Game on demands, then I will keep to upgrade video card every 5- 6 years.

5) You shouldnt be panic about RODD console sh!t.. you will get another console or next gen-gaming console if you got RODD again.. look at you afford to got the second MACBOOk which replaced your original mackbook, already.. Ha..

Aww man! You got crysis series.. I really started to think about getting crysis series. I have heard alot of gamers talk about crysis like halo.. I believe that CRYSIS is very popular FPS for PC.

I aint here to trying to be smart@$$... For fact: PC gaming rig is superior to all consoles. Not true, most games don't require VC NIVIDIA 8+, all PC platforms require VC Nidia 4 and 7 series. ofc some games require vc nividia 8 or highers. Guess what? you can afford VC Nivida 8 GS/GT for 25 to 40 bucks and decent motherboard selling for 50 bucks. If you are still compliant "I can't afford those.." you better save your old PC, when Onlive will release by this year. Onlive has no require high ended hardware, however you need Broadband connect and controller (optional) . it can running your crappy PC to play video games via cloud steam.

Yeah I want to play PC game more often instead of console. I learning how to memory the WASD keyboard to play video card on PC. I am little frustrate & confuse, However I am patient and get it to used later.

Yeah, You playing TF2 on PC.. I am wondering this game sound like BFH ( batttlefield hero), doesn't it?

UPdate: I thinking that I am kinda hypocrite what I said in #27 post (i am truly sorry). Because I really found to interesting PC gaming and bought some games for PC.. I can cluttering up games on the Harddrive in RIG. So, My rig is mainly specified gaming computer only alike xbox 360 does.

Gary's MOD looks like you can customize and fun! but I don't think this game for me. I am most likely playing FPS on PC eventually..

Crysis required have high end video card, I use GTX 260 and I can't use 1680x1050 with higher setting because I get few crash in Crysis, I think it was Corsair memory but I really don't care so I decided to change lower settting 1280x720 and mid setting graphics. I will order to get 4 memory of GSkill later. The reason why I blamed memory for crash Crysis, not my video card because I get many error dialogs it says something about my memory.

yizuman

With Wine, yes.

I have GeForce 9800 GTX and I can't max out on Crysis so I have use mix of medium and high setting, along with set at 1680 x 1050.

GeForce 260 GTX blows 9800 GTX by miles.

I use GSkill for memory.

Do you get Crysis crash sometimes by GSkill memory or not?

Foxrac

None, If I set all at high so it will choppy or lagging.

Dude, Yeah I am.. why? Like I said I play video game on rig for mainly FPS, including TPS.. But i dislike play vide games of fully mmorpg or rts on pc..

I like to play Dead space, GTA, BFH, infernal, others are TPS or shoulder view on rig..

TF2 was on sale for 2.99? where? i just curious..


Dude, really? Fox responded you that he said crysis on his pc runs very well without crash.. I went computer shop and asked clerk/ mechanic (for computer), about memory for gaming. he gave me the correct memory for mainly gaming.

anyway take a look below:


see minimum system requirements..

Honestly, I dont know why you are overract about between crysis and videocard or memory... but thank for inform me..

some experts is know how to unlock their videocard's ram memory's code or something.. it makes their graphic card smooth without lags... google it

I bought MAXIMUM EDITON (Crysis trilogy). I played it without problem after I modified graphic settings. it running on pc as smooth..

anyway crysis is awesome gameplay and beautiful background with more detials of environment forest, beach, animals look realistic.. crysis remind me of fry cry 2's feature.. anyway I really addict to play, play, play it without stop.. crysis is best ever play than halo, IMO...




BTW: I got TF2.. you can hit me up for mulitplayer later when you feel free time..
