XBox 360 Plugin - Can't get it to work or recognize
« on: December 29, 2022, 03:43:20 PM »
Hello All,

Trying to use the plugin made by @dazthegas for the XBox 360 Controller.  Have some weird issues, wondering if someone can give some advice.  I have the plugin in the plugins directory.  I can activate the plugin from the Configure -> Control->Plug in menu. However here is where it gets a bit weird for me.  I do NOT see the plugin under Configure->Plugins.  Also it does not show me that the XBox 360 Controller is active in the message bar. I am on Windows 10 running the latest version of Mach4.  Another weird thing is that if I check the controller from Diagnostic->Regfile it DOES show signals from the controller.  I am sure it is something simple, but I can't seem to figure this one out.  I've reinstalled, restarted, etc... no joy. 

Thanks!

I use the controller with Mach3 under Win10 and found that you need to reinstall some windows components (ActiveX?) that Win10 doesn't normally have.  This came up recently and I posted a link to the fix iirc.

Thank you very much for the reply JohnHaine!  I am proceeding as suggested however after the DirectX install I cannot find "xbox.dll".  Where is that file?  Thanks.

Attached photo may help - it's in the Mach3 plugins folder, may be different for Mach4.  There is a copy in my downloads folder so I presumably downloaded it from somewhere...

I can't find that file anywhere on my computer.  Searching Google for the exact filename ....

I am wondering if it is a native Windows dll or something DazTheGas made?

I found it on the Mach3 Plugins page :-).
