Using Xbox 360 Hori Real Arcade Pro on your PC

[SAM]

Today I discovered the Driver provided for the standard Xbox 360 controller for Windows also works on Xbox 360 Hori Real Arcade Pro Joystick.

This makes the Xbox 360 Hori Real Arcade Pro Joystick a valuable asset, as it is the only version of Hori Real Arcade Pro which would works on a Windows PC.

In case you want to use it for MAME, you have to edit the default.cfg file under path {MAME directory}/cfg with the following codes:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- This file is autogenerated; comments and unknown tags will be stripped -->
<mameconfig version="10">
    <system name="default">
        <input>
            <port type="P1_JOYSTICK_UP">
                <newseq type="standard">
                    KEYCODE_UP OR JOYCODE_1_HATSWITCHU
                </newseq>
            </port>
            <port type="P1_JOYSTICK_DOWN">
                <newseq type="standard">
                    KEYCODE_DOWN OR JOYCODE_1_HATSWITCHD
                </newseq>
            </port>
            <port type="P1_JOYSTICK_LEFT">
                <newseq type="standard">
                    KEYCODE_LEFT OR JOYCODE_1_HATSWITCHL
                </newseq>
            </port>
            <port type="P1_JOYSTICK_RIGHT">
                <newseq type="standard">
                    KEYCODE_RIGHT OR JOYCODE_1_HATSWITCHR
                </newseq>
            </port>
        </input>
    </system>
</mameconfig>

What version of Windows are you running? I've been modding arcade sticks for my local fighting game community for the past 5 years and have never had any issues running Xbox 360 or PS3 HRAPs on PC.

The point is I discover a way to connect XBox 360 HRAP to the PC without modding it.

I am running Window 8 by the way.

that's not what zaneiken meant. Using 360 or PS3 arcade sticks on Windows has always been easy without any modding. Just a matter of using the right driver.

Oops sorry, I thought I had discovered a New World...

Yup, I've been promoting this driver for a very long time so you don't need to go through the headache of finding other methods of using Hori USB sticks *cough* Xpadder E;
