1. You can download x360 from these links:

Download from Github[www.x360ce.com]
Download from my link (this is an older, but stable version)[1drv.ms] . The latest version above doesn't work with some games in my experience. This version does however, and I'm using this. You can check the zip file for virus if you want.

2. Extract the archived file, you will have something like:

x360ce.exe
x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll

The whole thing is pretty simple.

1. Copy all extracted files into the game folder on your hard disk. I'm using Windows 10 and it is located in \steamapps\common\Atelier Sophie The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book. Installation location might vary on other PCs.

2. Plug your controller in. If you have a wireless controller, make use the dongle is working and your system can see it (open Control Panel > search for "Game" > select "Setup game and USB Controller" or Start > Run > joy.cpl).

2. Run the executable file (x360ce.exe). It looks like this:


If you're promted to create some missing dll files, create them. They will be placed within the same folder.

3. The background you see is... a Xbox 360 controller, right? Hence the name. Now there're two ways to configure the buttons. You can see the indicator on the "Controller 1" tab is now green.

- Use presets: Pretty straight, as in my case I only have to choose "Logitech Cordless Rumble Pad 2" > click "Load" and then remap the X - Y and A - B buttons (as they're swapped, respectively). See below for how to remap.



- Remap buttons manually: Click on the button selection you want to change > [Record] > push the corresponding button on the controller.



4. Finally, click "Save" and then close the application. Open the game, and enjoy.

Of course, it's safe and totally open-source. You can view the code in Github repository[github.com]. And yes, it's written in C#.

I used it for many games before. And no, you don't have to worry about VAC or something (yes I know VAC isn't implemented in Atelier Sophie, but even for VAC-powered games, you don't have to worry either), just make sure you're using the clean files.


It might not work with some games. Consult the Supported game list for more information[github.com]. I didn't have any problems with it anyway.


Try using my file instead. I downloaded it from PCWorld website, and still working flawlessly. I am using a cheap controller (about $2), this one[www.google.com]. And I'm pretty sure that you won't have any serious problem as well.
