have they even made drivers for that controller i thought they would make it specifically not to work on a PC but IDK
in simple terms if there are drivers out there for it then yes if not then no.

I think you have to own Vista to do that.

There are drivers out there for using the controller with Windows, as well as official Microsoft ones in Vista. They also released that wireless receiver for their controller recently, anyone know if its XP compatable?

try it and find out....if not, you can still use the 360 controller for emulators. i mean, you ever tried playing zelda I with an analog stick? it's awesome!


when i got my 360 gamepad, i didn't even need to use the cd that came with it, windows immediately recognized it and installed the drivers.
