Subject: Disable Xbox controller detection for Halo 2 PC

I am using a program called Xpadder to re-map the button input from my xbox controller as keyboard and mouse input. I did this because I am used to playing with Bumper Jumper on Halo 3, ODST and Reach.

Xpadder works, but Halo 2 also sees that I have a game controller plugged into my computer, so I actually get double the input because it sees my button presses as an Xbox controller pressing them and the keyboard making them. This only affects the buttons I was trying to change, hitting A to switch nades still makes my character jump. frustrating.

I looked in the settings and could not find a way to force Halo 2 to use the keyboard/mouse config only. It seems that the controller detection is automatic.

Can anyone help?

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

I've tried a few workarounds and nothing really works. I think the only ones who can change this are the proprietors of the source code.... so basically no chance.

It's just silly that it auto-detects the xbox controller then won't let you disable it.

maybe I'll try getting into a game then turning the controller on.

I wonder if it checks at start up or if it will know a controller is present after loading.

Try using xbcd, it lets you change the controller mappings at the driver level, so you could disable the controller if you really wanted to.

It seems spambot's have evolved and are now posting, instead of sending "I found you" pm's.
