clearly from the name of the project, emulating dinput is NOT the intent nor 
will it ever be.

The name of the project is "x360ce". How does that name "clearly" say this 
project will never emulate DInput? Last I checked the 360 controller supported 
DInput and XInput, while this "emulator" only supports XInput.

"Last I checked the 360 controller supported DInput"

I don't think a last minute tack on counts as support.
1. it doesn't support forcefeedback in the official drivers (No rumble driver 
registere in the joystick oem keys)
2. The triggers cancel each other out.

1. There is a a FFB only driver for this issue
2. This is main issue, it will be great to make a reverse emulator for this 
(DInput8 -> XInput)

For my needs, a Dinput emulator would be awesome. I would be able to finally 
make my X360 wireless controller work on older game that use Dinput, like Final 
Fantasy XI.
If I try to use my controller with basic driver on this game, it doesn't 
recognizes the two analog shoulder buttons, to be correctly used the game needs 
to see them as digital buttons 11 and 12 instead.

Anyway we can help you develop and betatest the Xinput>Dinput reverse 
emulation? Anyway we can give you a small tip to support your awesome work?

Making simple dinput8.dll and dinput.dll wrappers that would load x360ce 
powered or original xinput1_3.dll will help all old games to work fine with 
xbox 360 controller and other xinput devices, this is must have wrapper for 
many people who wants to play old game and have xinput conrollers, it should be 
implemented into x360ce and share same settings file (would be usefull for 
button remaping, deadzone set, rumble emulation etc.
There is no wrappers like this exist (i searched a lot, no luck) except for the 
component of Pinnacle Game Profiler (which works both as dinput>xinput and 
xinput>dinput wrapper) however it doest work stand alone nad require non free 
program to run.
Implemening opposite tehcnique would be quite easy. Please do it!

1. For emulating dinput in old games im using XBCD drivers. Unfortunately they 
dont work with wireless pads. Im using them with wired Xbox gamepad. But im 
99,9% sure they will work with other wired Xinput gamepads after changing vid 
and pid numbers in drivers ini file.

2. Dinput > Dinput? What for? If there are any problems with axis or buttons 
each game have Controls panel where u can map everything. There is no need to 
use emulator for it.

"each game have Controls panel where u can map everything". False.

Which one? I havent met any without it.

You have never played a game that didn't let you re-map all buttons, including 
analog axis? I'll look into it later and get examples. In the mean time, enjoy 
more games.

Well in fact you're right in some way. I didnt play many games with gamepad. I 
use Saitek PZ31A for most of them. Games in which I was using gamepad are: 
Devil May Cry 3 and 4, Legacy Of Kain Saga, Mini Nijas, Prince of Persia: 
WW/SoT, Resident Evil 4  and Silent Hill saga. I also sometimes play Pegasus 
games with emulator. And as far as i remember there were always ways for 
changing controls.

Dinput > Dinput will be NEVER supported by this project, but I thinking about 
reversing x360ce emulation. ie. XInput > Dinput.

So, in order for this project to be any use to me I'll have to buy a controller 
that supports XInput? Maybe I could find another project to emulate XInput from 
my DInput controller then run this program on top of it.

x360ce is DInput to XInput emulator...

This would be great, If it happened. Then I can play "The Walking Dead" with my 
old Dualshock2 Pad. Sadly, Walking Dead only support Dinput8.dll

I found a file in this link. 

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B4lfqq0DpUo-SnNRRzNOa3doWjA/edit?docId=0B4lfqq
0DpUo-NDVjM2o2aTRYZDQ

This file works but only for Logitech Rumble Pad.
and I don't know how to remap the button setup. :(

Those files are old DInput blocker/spoofer by RacerS for old x360cemu, ie. they 
not emulate anything, just works like InputHook (HookDI).

PS: "The Walking Dead" is DirectInput game.

"x360ce is DInput to XInput emulator...". Then I could run the program twice 
and have one convert my dinput to xinput, then have the second one convert the 
first one's xinput to dinput.

you don't run anything.

Ehh, we need to add something to wiki about how to use this properly because 
some users do not understand that x360ce.exe is only configuration application 
and is not required to be running when playing...

If someone want to use xbox gamepad in old games he should use XBCD Dinput 
drivers. I think they should work with other xinput gamepads if you change 
their VID i PID numbers apropriately to your device as well. Im not sure but 
you can try. With xbox gamepad they work well. Thanks them, i managed to play 
DMC3 with xbox gamepad. They also provide great flexibility in settings and 
even have xinput emulator to use gamepad in newer games. Yes, its emulating 
xinput on xinput gamepad, which may seem ridiculusly but thats what you asking 
for in those comments.

You also have programs like Xpadder or Pinnacle Game Profiler which are not 
emulators, but give you great flexibility in configuration. So i dont think 
there is a need to program reversing emulation because ready solutions are out 
there.
