Why no XBOX 360 controller driver

[djfuego]

Can someone explain why a driver hasn't been made for WM6 Being able to pair an xbox 360 controller and use it like a gamepad for your pocket pc?
Can this be done?
Has it allready been done?

the Xbox360 gamepad uses a proprietary form of Wifi to connect to the Xbox 360, not Bluetooth like the PS3. Hope that answers your question.

well it may be possible but microsoft will never share sensitive information about their controllers :)

in theory it may be possible to create adhoc connection to your device but it may require new wlan drover for your device and aditional software to map the controls for the gamepad...

the similar thing goes for the PS3 controller

It would be incredibly difficult since the controller switches frequencies randomly to avoid interference from other 900MHZ devices.

since no xbox.......why no ps3 controller driver??

j/k

i've been playing around with a ps3 controller that i got......drivers for using the controller while is plugged into a pc are all over the internet........but i just found this a few days ago, drivers for using bluetooth.

scroll down to the post by 89ron. tried it......works for me, but the down side is you have to switch from your bluetooth stack to this freebt stack

I had the gamepad on and it showed on my Bluetooth as "Player 1" and the XBOX 360 was not on.. What does this tell you?
