    Default xpadder and JoytoKey

    I have some questions about xpadder and JoytoKey. I would like to use these for playing SNGs with a controller and TN. Here is what I have done so far:
    -I have both software downloaded to my desktop.
    -I have UAC turned off.
    -I am running the software as administrator.
    -I turned on the "run in compatibility mode".
    -I have downloaded all of the drivers.
    Unfortunately, I can't get these two programs to acknowledge my controllers.

    My computer recognizes the controller. One weird thing that I noticed is that my computer shows two controllers installed. One is my Logitch dual action and another is a Virtual HID Controller. What the hell is a Virtual HID Controller. I only have one controller connected.

    Anybody here have any idea? Is anyone using these? MODs, you can move this to Tools if you want. I thought that I might get more traffic in the SNG forum because these are popular SNG tools.

    I'm using a Xbox 360 controller and wireless dongle along with Xpadder 5.3. I think this was the last free version and it's still available if you search around.

    I'm not sure exactly how your controller works, but Xpadder just searches for my controller until I turn it on, which is the middle button on an Xbox controller. This might be your issue if you are using a wireless controller.

    A virtual HID appears to be something (a driver perhaps) that mimics keyboard and mouse functions. Speculating, this is probably some Logitech driver to facilitate using the joypad with Windows.

    I don't think you need Joytokey if you are planning on using TN and Xpadder.

    I am not familiar with those programs, but I use a wireless playstation 3 controller and a program called Total Game Control. Basically allows you to map your mouse and keyboard to the controller. It has really worked nice for me across XP and Windows 7. Really nice for multi-tabling.
