This is basically xod's xEmulate which I have modified to work with XIM3.
This should allow your XIM3 to behave in the same way as the XIM2 did with this software.
I have also added an option to "pass-through" the mouse state directly to the XIM3, which will allow you to use XIM3's smart translators at the same time as using binds/macros/text mode etc...
Features:
- Allow multiple keyboard keys to access a single xbox button
- Allow for simple macros for some interesting actions including rapid fire and timed holds.
- Supports setting variables on the fly with binds: i.e. "bind r set sensitivity1 1000;"
- Supports reading from .xim configs .xim files, converts all but a few things.
- Does not require elevated priveleges in Vista
- Command line allows editing the config on the fly
- App does not crash if your Xim gets hung
- Alt-Tab works
- Added support for "text mode" which translates keystrokes to xbox message text, currently only supports [a-z][0-9]
*Updated
- Fixed invert mouse y axis for mouse passthrough
- Added option to ignore mouse buttons except the right button when in passthrough mode (allows you to use ADS translator, but still have full control over the other mouse buttons)
- Removed rate limit, should now send as fast as allowed ~62.5 UPS
*Updated 21/01
- Added Joystick passthrough support - First detected Joystick only
- X & Y Axis, the first 24 buttons and POV Hat passed directly to XIM3
- Buttons 25-36 are mapped digitally (assuming a deadzone value of +/- 16500) for the following Axis:
Z-Axis, X,Y,Z-Axis Rotation,Sliders 1&2 (U and V-Axis)
- Added bind support for holding specific analog values (e.g. bind x +leftstickx 28000;wait 200;-leftstickx;)
- "echo beep" now makes a beep sound -- useful if you are toggling configs and cannot see the screen :)
*Updated 22/02
- Added "Walk Speed" setting -- this allows you to bind a key which when active will limit your LeftStick's maximum value. To use bind key "walksens" (e.g. "bind x .walksens" or "bind x !walksens" to toggle)
- Updated version number in installer, so you can upgrade without first removing the previous version.

oh wow, you are my hero
i loved xemulate with my xim2!
Added support for "text mode" which translates keystrokes to xbox message text, currently only supports [a-z][0-9]
have to order an easy transfercable now :)
does it work just like xemulate?
if not, would you mind sharing some explanation pictures? :)
(xbox nkey rollover here i come, not that its worth it, but i do care ;p )

Well... it should, but I haven't actually spent enough time to say that for sure just yet. It's been a while since I have used my XIM2!
(http://swift.jpe.gs/92d67a.jpg)
I tried to keep as much the same as possible, and just convert the differences between the APIs. It actually uses the original XIMCore.dll for the old translations, so these *should* work the same. Although i'm not sure how the "rate" setting in XIM2 translators will affect things as the new API doesn't pass a timeout value.
It would be great if someone could compare the feel of it with a XIM2 config and let me know if it behaves properly... I haven't tested this side very much as I'm currently using it with the smart translators already on my XIM3.
Some things are a little strange though... e.g. if you accidentally press back+start the XIM3 will go into it's config menu as if you were using the pad directly.
-
awesome looks nice :)
can you load xim3 configs like standard configs or smart translators from the xim3?
or do you have to recreate them with xemulate and save the config
(sorry for the question wouldve already answered this on my own if i had a transfer cable right here)
-

No, it won't allow you to change the config on your XIM3, but will allow you to either ignore it and use the XIM2 math; or to use it alongside your loaded config.
With "Use XIM3 Mouse" unchecked:
if you load a xim2/xEmulate standard config it will effectively ignore the config currently on the XIM3 as it passes the translated controller state though directly and should behave just as the original xEmulate does for the XIM2.
With "Use XIM3 Mouse" checked:
It will ignore the mouse related math and pass the mouse state directly to the XIM3. You would need to load an appropriate config on your XIM3 to use this. It will however still allow you to use the rest of your config as normal. All the controller & mouse binds will still work.
I am currently using this with the XIM3 smart translators, and basically using the config as a list of binds.
bind w .leftstickpositivey;
bind a .leftsticknegativex;
bind s .leftsticknegativey;
bind d .leftstickpositivex;
bind mouseleft .righttrigger;
bind mouseright .lefttrigger;
bind mousemiddle .rightstick;
bind mouse5 *righttrigger;
bind leftshift .leftstick;
bind e .rightbumper;
bind q .leftbumper;
bind space .a;
bind home !textmode;etc...
You should be able to switch modes on the fly by doing the following:
bind x !xim3mouse;
Hopefully some of this makes sense :)
-
yeah it does, hopefully gonna test it out soon :)
-
Wow, pretty cool. I used this all the time with xim2. I'll test it out, see if I can get it working right.
-
I'm getting this error:
Connecting...
Unable to connect to Xim:HARDWARE_NOT_FOUND
I'm using Windows 7, tried it in normal mode and in PC Mode.
Can't get it to connect.
-
out of curiousity, does the xim manager find your xim3?
-
Yes
-
I'm getting this error:

It should be in normal mode, and connected to your PC with an Easy-Transfer Cable.
Does the XIMCommander example app work for you?
It's in the SDK download in this topic: http://www.xim3.com/community/index.php?topic=16199.0
I have also just updated the original post with a newer version which has fixed a few problems I have been having whilst testing, so it may be worth grabbing the newer version also.
-
What's an Easy-Transfer cable?
I have just the USB cable it came with...
And I'll give your new version a try.
EDIT: Nope, still getting the same error with the new version.
-

Unfortunately this will not work without an Easy-Transfer Cable. You need this to connect your XIM3 and PC, while still having your original cable connected to the 360.
You can find more details, and supported cables in the XIM Peripheral Bridge User Manual (http://www.xim3.com/community/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=16199.0;attach=3742).

Kind of confused on how I connect the Easy-Transfer cable to the XIM3 and PC when the 360 is connected to the XIM3...But i'll look into the XIM Peripheral Bridge User Manual, Thanks!
EDIT: Oh, does it plug in instead of the controller or what?
EDIT2: Nevermind, so I can use my keyboard/mouse while it's plugged into my PC, and I just plug an Easy-Transfer cable into one of the usb ports in the XIM3?

Thanks for the help, running to Best Buy to grab me one of those cables :)

gonna do the same as well, thanks for the enhanced version swifteh :)

Hey Swift great app bro! I was toying with it last night and I noticed that when im using the "xim 3 mouse" option my mouse sens is alot slower then using the xim 3 directly. Im playing bf3,Is this normal?

It should be the same speed... that mode just passes on the mouse state unchanged, so it shouldn't be a problem. Does XIMCommander feel any slower than this does?
It might be worth checking your control panel/setpoint settings, as they may differ from those when using the XIM directly.
My current settings are:
Setpoint:
use os native drivers for pointer speed and acceleration is unticked
angle snapping is ticked
speed is 5
acceleration 0
Control Panel:
use enhanced pointer precision is unticked
-
Haha, silly me! my setpoint was off a notch. Sorry about that bro. Awesome job by the way!

Windows gives me a "xEmulate has stopped working" error when I try to run it. Selecting ether choice; Check for solution or close program does nothing.
I uninstalled xEmulate and reinstalled. Even uninstalled XNA redistribute downloaded new version from microsoft and still nothing.
Any help out there?

I had a few problems using DirectInput joysticks when I was testing things, and the error was similar to the one you pasted above.
I have just uploaded a new version which may fix the problem.
Edit: Added a few more things too...
*Updated 21/01
- Added Joystick passthrough support - First detected Joystick only
- X & Y Axis, the first 24 buttons and POV Hat passed directly to XIM3
- Buttons 25-36 are mapped digitally (assuming a deadzone value of +/- 16500) for the following Axis:
Z-Axis, X,Y,Z-Axis Rotation,Sliders 1&2 (U and V-Axis)

- "echo beep" now makes a beep sound -- useful if you are toggling configs and cannot see the screen :)
I don't actually have a joystick to test any of this with, so if things behave strangely or do not work at all then please let me know!
-
Thanks, new version works. Rime to have some fun! ;D
-
good work man, cant believe you improved it that mutch during the last week! :)
-

Thanks, i'm also surprising myself!
Have just put another version up with a new "walk" setting, so you can now hold a key to move slower.
I can't think of much else to add right now, so i'll probably slow down spamming this thread a bit :)

Just a tiny suggestion/wish.
On BF3 when in a ground vehicle with a turret or mounted gun it can be quite annoying and tough to find the right sensitivity for rotating said turret or gun. It there a way to have a button assigned so that when pressed in concert with moving the mouse/right analog stick horizontal it holds the analog command until the button is released. It would help reduce the amount of times the mouse needs to be picked up when executing large degrees of rotation but may cause issues if the XIM "goes black" on the analog control and this button would hold it there until released. Again just a tiny suggestion/wish.
Thanks for all the hard work, everyone.

You can already hold specific movements like the following:
- "bind x .rightstickpositivex" will hold the right stick full right when x is down.
- "bind x .rightsticknegativex" will hold the right stick full left.
- "bind x .rightstickx 16500" will hold the right stick halfway right (16500/32767).
- "bind x .rightstickx -16500" will hold the right stick halfway left (-16500/-32767).
I'll see if I can add a bind to lock whatever the current mouse state is when the key was pressed, if this is what you mean?
-
Wow this is straight crack homie!
-
yeah its an excellent programm
anyone has the xemulate wiki link?
its very usefull to learn the bind commands and stuff
(for the newcomers to xemulate)

Anyone having any luck with binding more that the default 5 buttons with this version of xEmulate? I'm using a G700 mouse with this and buttons g6 and g7 won't respond even after setting their functions to 'generic button' in SetPoint.

Unfortunately this is a limitation of DirectX, it will only recognise 5 mouse buttons. You would have to assign the other buttons to "Keystroke Assignments" in SetPoint, and then bind those keys in xEmulate.
-
Thanks, was afraid of that. :/ Logitech and/or Microsoft really needs to get around to updating how mice work in Windows.

Just got my easy xfer cable yesterday and messed around with xemulate. Just like to say this program is amazing. Kudos!

Hey there, ... odin guided me here throug the support forum.
I'm using an xbox360 gamepad on my pc for gaming raceing games and so on. (some XInput and other Dinput)
I'm looking for a way to manipulate my gamepad ...
... so, is it possible when i get a xim3, easy transfer cable, xemulate... to passthroug my controller to my computer playing pc- games?
... how would the wireing look? - Gamepad ----USB---> XIM3 ---ETC---> PC ????
... do i need to have a wired xbox360 pad, or could the wireless one with the adaptor for microsoft windows work too?
... the walkspeed thingie sounds like one of the stuff i would like to have. Scaleing the X or Y axis by pressing on another button to a given value... +/- (0 - 32767) ????
Hopefully my english is understandable in some way. Thansk for your help.

worth a try to ask swifteh, the regular xemulate worked with different non xim devices as well i think
so maybe also with a regular controller
(well obviously havent used the regular xemulate for more than a year now, forgot quite a bit about it)
also i think you could just plugin a wired xbox controller into the pc and search for a gamepad configuration programm

The 360 gamepad should be automatically picked up as an XInput controller, which is exactly what the XIM3 would look like if you plugged it back into the PC.
Although you could use this to remap your controls or for macros etc, you should be able to do this more simply by using something like Xpadder or GlovePie directly with your pad.

Sorry to be a numpty.
So i can only map 5 mouse buttons? Or can i keep my settings from the Xim3?
Thanks

You can only bind 5 buttons through xEmulate, but if you don't mind setting up your mouse binds via the XIM3 itself you can plug your mouse directly into the XIM3.
If you want to do this then you should untick "Use XIM3 Mouse" and also set the Mouse Stick X & Y options to "None".
-
Thanks Swifteh, super helpful!
Win
-
if i get a transfer cable could i use my xim3 st and button mappings but the xim3 macros ie rapid fire, prone etc ??
-
as soon as a computer is involved, yes you have the possibility for such things
-
Looks very interesting but im somewhat of a noob when it comes to things like this.. are there any more in depth help files or tuturorials other than the wiki link ?
-
swifteh, thanks for creating this. I have it up and running but I have a question for you.
I use a Logitech G13 gameboard connected straight to the XIM3. I would like to continue to use the joystick on the G13, as the left stick of the xbox controller and use the buttons on it as well (still connected directly to xim3). The only thing I want xemulate for is to run a macro on the left mouse button of my deathadder. I got the mouse to work by connecting it to my laptop hooked up via easy transfer to the xim. However, once I connect with xemulate, the G13 that is hooked up to the XIM3 doesn't respond. I removed the leftstickx and y bindings out of the config but this didn't seem to help. Is what I am asking for, possible ? Or will I have to have both the G13 as well as the mouse connected to the laptop?
Thanks for your help.
-
Okay, a few things.
One; awesome app, but I need help with it. How would I set the Keyboard Passthrough mode mentioned in the first post? I looked on the Wiki but can't find it.
Second; it would be nice if there was at least a config editor that was a little more GUI and a little less command line.
Also a way to disable the Esc to quit would be FANTASTIC. Muscle memory sux yo.
-
Lovely app, but does it support winxp?
-
I cant sem to use my mouse wheel click to the left or right.
I can map them on the xim, but it doenst seem to register.
Thasnk

I've just ordered a easy transfer cable, and this is the first thing i am going to try out :)
I have one question tho, about how to connect.
Is it Xim3 -> Xbox, Xbox Wireless controller -> Xim3 (like always) and then just the easy tranfer cable from pc to xim3?
Or does the Wireless controller even have to still be connected?
Best Regards. :)
-
You need a wired controller.
xim3 -> wired controller
- >transfer cable -> PC -> Mouse
-> Keyboard

There used to be. Oh how I miss the *old* ximhub. So many discussions for the original xims lost to the interwebs.
-
I would be using this with the "Use XIM3 Mouse" checked, to use the STs on my XIM3, but is there a way to bind a keyboard key to change config on the Xim3? Like for vehicle configs where you would want a higher sensitivity when on that config.

Noone who can answer if you can bind a keyboard key to switch config on the Xim3 using this? :/

Unfortunately you can't do this easily, but it may be possible with a macro.
If you want to try it, this may work, but it is a bit long-winded :)
to select config 1;
bind x +back;+start;wait 200;-back;-start;up;up;up;up;up;down;a;up;up;up;up;up;aor for config 2
bind x +back;+start;wait 200;-back;-start;up;up;up;up;up;down;a;up;up;up;up;up;down;aor for config 3
bind x +back;+start;wait 200;-back;-start;up;up;up;up;up;down;a;up;up;up;up;up;down;down;a
etc...
the amount of "up"s in the above is probably unnecessary, but it should ensure you start at the top of the list

The PC basically works as another input device. So you can use the XIM3 exactly the same way as before.
I know that, but that was not what I asked :P

And I don't think the amount of ups is unnecessary, I might even have to add more, I have lots of configs :)

If it skips inputs you might need to increase the "buttondowntime" or add some wait commands in.
let me know if it works! :)

My easy transfer cable didn't come today like it was suppose to, but it should be here in a few days, will get back to you when i have tested this :)
-
Hmm.. I just got my Easy Tranfer Cable today :)
Was trying to set this up, but my mouse sens is VERY slow.
I have the Use Xim3 Mouse checked, and i use a Razer Mamba mouse.
Any ideas what that could be? :/
-
Don't have that mouse myself, so someone else might be able to help better =/
I would guess there is something in the mouse settings you need to change. Make sure the DPI is set to max wherever possible and if there's an option to use application profiles you could try adding xEmulate in there.

Its set to max dpi (5600) and sens in both mamba program and control panel to max, and no accelleration.
Can't find any other options that should make a difference, curser if flying around on the computer, hard to control, but when i press connect in the app and go to the game its super slow :/

Hmm... Setting the Polling Rate down the 125Hz made a difference, but then it only detects movement like half of the time, but when it does, its like it should be. :/
Polling Rate on both 500 and 1000 detects all movements, but then the sens is super slow, any ideas? :/
If i untick "Use XIM3 Mouse" sens is also as it should be, with all polling rates, but i really want to be able to use the STs on my XIM3 :(
-
sounds odd, how many updates per seconds does it show at the top when it's running? It should be steady between 62 and 63.

It is, very wierd tho.. I just disconnected the Xim3 from the Xbox and reconnected, everything looks to be working as it should now.
Makes no sence to me at all why that fixed it, but it did :)
Btw. thanks for the awesome job you did on this.. Time to test that config chance thing now :D
One other thing tho, i can't bind mousewhell up/down..
bind mwheelup .up;
bind mwheeldown .down;
That does not work :(
-
mousewheel is weird, it's not something you can really hold.
try
bind mwheelup +up;wait 50;-up
-

Awesome, that worked :) Thank you.
-
Tried the config switch we talked about the other day, and it works, but its a bit buggy sometimes, but i can live with that.
I have a suggestion tho, if you are planning on making any updates to the app, a function to add keyboard keys that you want directly passed through, like you have done with the right mouse click, that way we could use switchers on the xim3, by passing the keys we use for switches :)
Just an idea, if you ever get around to messing with it.
Maybe something like:
bind x passthru;
If that could be done, this app would be perfect for me :D
Keep up the good work!

Some bugs(?) I've come across over the past week or so.
• Movement keys will sometimes skip inputs - increase "downtime" = solution?
• Chat feature doesn't select the correct letter- ever.
• Pressing the home feature after enabling the chat feature doesn't restore the KB to regular mode.
Is there a way to unbind the disconnect key from esc to another key, possibly F1? This app is pretty much perfect for what I wanted to accomplish however. Good job.

You get out of chatmode by pressing END, just like it says in the app when you enable the mode :)

Try typing "set buttondowntime 50" or higher in the command box.

Try changing your keyboard layout in your xbox settings to "qwerty".
Is there a way to unbind the disconnect key from esc to another key, possibly F1? This app is pretty much perfect for what I wanted to accomplish however. Good job.
When I get a little free time i'll make this configurable :)
-
You get out of chatmode by pressing END, just like it says in the app when you enable the mode :)
Oh, thanks. I don't have the visual of the xemulate app since I use the same screen for both pc and xbox simultaneously.
Thanks for the feedback swifteh, I'll be sure to change the downtime to 50 and keyboard layout on the xbox. :)

Just curious...has anyone tried using the logitech extreme 3d pro with this yet to bind the left analog yaw to the Z-axis twist handle on the joystick? Would make flying aircraft loads easier :)

So is this app similar to the ximcommander? I gathered you can use a usb data transfer cable with both these devices and control the xim through the pc can anyone give me a brief summary of what they both do and the differences between them? I'm a bit of noob to all this, my usb data transfer cable is coming tomorrow

I havn't tried XimCommander, but i can tell you this app will do it for you. :)

In the wiki:
Advanced Binding
Exec
I havent tested this much, but the concept is pretty sweet:
'bind x exec 1234.cfg'
With this bind, when x is pressed xEmulate will search for 1234.cfg in 3 locations: 1) the current working folder 2) my documents\xim configs 3) appdata\xEmulate
If it finds the config, it will load it. This can be useful for switching between "game modes" like in gta for driving vs walking.
So can we perfectly setup a BF3 foot, tank, air configs and use the keys to change?

It's messy to switch smart translators, but if you're happy with 1 smart and the others standard then it could work pretty well.
Just be sure to use "set xim3mouse false" as well as your standard translator settings in the tank and air configs :)

Cheers Swifty.
Will pm you mate, got some questions!

Need Help!
When I run xEmulate-XIM3 and press the connect button my Nostromo n52 and Xbox controller stop working. When I press Esc button on my PC keyboard to stop the software the Nostromo n52 and Xbox controller work again. My Nostromo n52 and Xbox controller are directly pluged into the XIM3. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Hester

is there a way of using this while keep xim3 as it is but just using it as mouse passthrough. By default this changes all my keys. What do I have to do to get it to work with my xim3 settings?

Try typing "unbindall" in the command box. This should remove the default key bindings and hopefully work :)

Swifteh, is there a way using ur app to allow 3rd party software to control the mouse while your app is live?
Thanks mate.

Thanks that worked great. When I'm using this for mouse and keyboard passthrough my mouse sensitivity seems to fluctuate shortly after using the keyboard. My keyboard is 1000hz and my mouse is set to 125hz, is this not supported with the app? What could be the problem?
-
I'm frustrated. Got a cable that didn't work, returned it. Got the correct belkin cable, now I cannot get it to detect my keyboard input...shows the mouse moving on the xim but no keyboard functionality at all...am I doing something wrong here???
I know I have to re-bind my keys...and I'm working on that...how do I get it to use the smart translators?
EDIT: With a little trial and error I've got everything running properly. Took me a while to figure it all out ( I'm an F'in n00b) but Everything is working flawlessly. Great job, two thumbs up to you.
-
I get the Hardware error message. Does this need to be plugged into the Xbox at the same time? My PC is in another room to my Xbox. Is this the reason? If so does it mean I can't use this and XIMCommander unless I run the PC and Xbox of the same screen?

Hello,
I have a question about an order I use to go to bed (bind x + b; 1000 wait;-b;). This command fontionne perfectly in Call Of Duty. I use this same command in Battlefield 3 action is performed but the key is pressed on the Xim 3. I am forced to disconnect Xemulate. Si someone an idea I'm interested.
Another question: How to reduce the sensitivity of the methods described? (mouse and keyboard connected to PC - ADS)
Thank you.

Has anyone tried using xEmulate with a racing wheel like in the XIM2 days?
-
Does XEMULATE and all the other XIM apps require being tethered to a computer?
-

Yes. There is only one way software running on a PC can connect to the XIM, and that is through one of the supported USB transfer cables.
-
Would there be any possible way to change the fire rate of the rapid? It locks up my guns on Black Ops.
-
i just cant get it to connect, keep getting:
Connecting...
Xim is hung, disconnect Xim from the computer and reconnect it, then try again.
or
Connecting...
Unable to connect to Xim:HARDWARE_FAILURE
edit: if i keep hitting Connect it locks up and does nothing then if i disconnect the cable i get this error: Unable to connect to Xim:XIMSTATUS_TRANSFER_FAILURE
Could the xim or transfer cable be @#$%? i also tested this on a laptop and got the same, my computer is 64bit Vista and laptop is 32bit Vista
Edit: just run windows update and updated everythiing and still nothing
-
Actually...
Can this work with XIM EDGE as well..?
-
Is there anyway to use Autohotkey to directly input hotkeys to xbox controller buttons? If there was a way to implement autohotkey it would be a really easy to set up a switcher type system for sensitivity. I like doing a shift switcher on the xim for sensitivity to decrease, then another on f for whenever i was holding down shift to make it even slower. Also, anything with +lefttrigger always works the first time then stops working from then on out.
-
yes this is possible however not allowed to be discussed in this forum
macros are regarded as cheating in xbl, dunno about psn though
but xemulate is your best bet on that one
-
Can anyone help me? mine wont connect at all :(
-
Hello mate! catch me online, just jump in the party.
So, what have you got?
Belkin transfer cable?
os?
Winnnnnnnnnnnnie
-
easy belkin cable
tried on Vista 64bit and vista 32bit
-
Vista?
I think there is a vista cable and a win7 one, which one did you get?
Vista:

Win7:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002L5S6VW/ref=asc_df_B002L5S6VW9255615?smid=A1Q8LHGBNWZQUW&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B002L5S6VW
Now im no expert, so theres prob no difference.
Does the xim or commander do anything?
Win
-
@#$%, a few posts up.
Sorry.
Win
-
I read somewhere that vista 64bit will not work with the cable.
Let me see if i can get the same error.
wInnnnnIe
-
None of the Xim Apps work :( i tried it on my girls laptop which is 32bit vista and same thing happened
-
Which cable did you get?
W
-
I got the Vista one
-
Well i tested another Xim3 today and still the same problem, either my cable is @#$% even tho i've used to to swap files between computers with no problems or the Xim3/Xim Apps doesnt like Win Vista
-
Im pretty sure its a mix of these both:
Vista cable.
Vista O/S.
Could you try running the software as XP?
Winnnnnnie
-
No XP machines and i tried the compatibility mode aswell with no luck
-
well finally tried win 7 and it didnt work :( must be this cable is @#$% but it works swap files between computers, ill buy another cable when i have the money and pray to @#$% it works
-
So you tried the Vista cable on a win7 system with no joy?
The guys i play with are using win7 and win7 cable, hope this will work for you mate!
Winnnnnnnnnnie
-
Does this work with edge or only xim3.
-
This also works with Edge, afaik. Also the Vista cable seems to be not a standard Windows EasyTransfer cable when it's not working.
-
I'm gonna buy a new cable and hope for the best. I've seen loads of different ones on ebay can anyone from the UK give me the name/link to the one they bought thats working perfect - for windows 7
-
Well i finally got it to work :)
Is there anyway to use the current keyboard binds that are saved on the XIM3?
Edit: just binded most of the keys throught the config file but still cant get mwheelup to work and mouse movement feels weird.
I just turned everything off and back on again and now my mouse is super fast, i've left it on max DPI and ticked the box Use Xim3 Mouse but that does nothing

1st, I @#$% love you for telling me how to do that
2nd, What is the average number for delay?

im terrible at programming the .cfg file and I am hoping that some friendly soul might be able to help me :)
I have got the basics running and know how to map both keyboard and mouse to a contolerbutton or stick.
However the game that I am playing requires me to doubletap the sticks on the xbox controller.
I am looking for a commandline that would map my left shift button so that when its pressed the lefttrigger on the xboxcontroller is pressed, and when I release the left shift the xbox button is pressed again.
I have tried "bind leftshift rightstick;wait 50; rightstick 50" and all sorts of other combinations, but I can get this to work.
Any suggestion?
Kind regards!

Anyone know a good number for BlOps2? Can't seem to get one fast enough that doesn't lock up the gun =[

does anybody know how i can bind the yaw to my z axix or twist on my joystick?
-
I'm trying to setup my logitech attack 3 joystick through xemulate. But I'm getting confused with the binding.
I want to setup the joystick, so I can use it to fly jets and choppers in bf3.
How do I setup the joystick Rotation axis in battlefield 3 for jets?
