2.0.2.163 [repack] - X360ce Version
x360ce version 2.0.2.163 is a legacy release of the Xbox 360 Controller Emulator (x360ce), a popular tool used to map non-Xbox controllers (such as older PC gamepads, steering wheels, or DualShock controllers) to appear as standard XInput devices. Steam Community
- Preset database: includes many prebuilt profiles for common controllers; community-contributed profiles extend coverage.
- Axis calibration: per-axis deadzone, saturation, and linearity adjustments. Effective for compensating drift or mismatched hardware ranges.
- Rumble/FFB: support varies by device. x360ce emulates basic vibration on the XInput side; passthrough of device-native force-feedback is inconsistent and hardware-dependent.
- Advanced mapping: supports macros (button sequences), mapping hats to D-pad/XInput buttons, and conditional mappings using button modifiers.
- Scripting/automation: no full scripting language; profiles and templates are the primary automation mechanism.
- Windows 7 or later: x360ce version 2.0.2.163 is compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 10.
- A compatible controller: x360ce supports a wide range of controllers, including the Xbox 360 controller, PlayStation 3 controller, and more.
