Getting the 360 DDR pad to work on Stepmania with 64-bit Windows [Solution post 13]

Does anyone have XBCD+ / XBCD 360?

I wouldn't ask usually, but all the sites I've searched it for have been taken down. If anyone's got it, and would be so kind as to share, I'd love you forever*.

*Note: forever potentially may not last forever.

Depends. I'm not looking for XBCD normally, but the Plus/360 version. Also 64-bit would be preferred as well.

I'm going to test this one out when I get home and reply back whenever I come back or have internet access

what is this XBCD+/XBCD 360?

allows xbox 360 dance pad to work on pc and for stepmania

Dang it. And here i was expecting it to be an emulator, boy was i wrong.

the site you gave me yesterday in the chat room... it works but when the song starts the left and down button doesn't work but it works on the menu and song select screen...

I think it's because I'm missing another software for it to work with it.

No, that's because it doesn't think it's a dance pad, just a normal controller. Normal controller D-Pads are on an axis in the centre, so you can't get Up+Down or Left+Right.

Is this the right one Oni? (Hope it is )

XBCD 360

In case the previous links are incorrect...

XBCD 360 drivers

well the one I'm talking about is the link you provided in the chat yesturday and you have to install two programs and two drivers.

Sadly those two links didn't quite work with me. I HAVE managed to do it properly, but thanks anyway.

It can be done just with the latest version of normal XBCD (64-bit).

How to get an XBOX 360 DDR pad working on 64-bit Windows

Install XBCD, and before you run it, save this: Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider.

Enable test mode, and restart your computer. Now, before you run it again, find where the XBCD driver was installed to. Because it's 64-bit, the drivers are installed to a different part of C/Windows. It's probably something like C:\Windows\SysWOW64\drivers\xbcd.sys.

Anyway, run DSEO again, and Sign a System File, entering the xbcd system file. This, hopefully, should have overridden it, making the driver work.

Right, almost done. Now you have a working driver, you have to link the driver to the pad. Open the Device Manager in Control Panel, and find "Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class". In this, right click the "Xbox 360 Controller for Windows" bit and click Properties, then Drivers, and update drivers.

This is where you link the file. Firstly choose to install from a list/specific location. After that, manually chose the driver to install. Look for something like Foot Pad Driver. Continue on, and this should successfully install the driver.

Before the final step, download the DDR pad profile here. (Right click and save).

Now you just need to load XBCD's Setup Utility. Click Open, and load the profile you've just downloaded. Click Apply, Exit, and you should be able to map and play it properly in Stepmania.

Thanks for trying to provide a solution, and I am up this point here:


But I can't find the relevant object. I've searched all through my device manager. Any ideas?
