Xbox 360 Xcbd Driver Version 0.2.5, Very serious update!!

To make a long story short the previous versions had a very serious memory error that will corrupt your game and eventually make it crash! Update to version 0.2.5 at once!!
I think this error was introducted last version but I can't be sure so if you are using any of my versions update now.

This error has caused mainly by me bieng a dumb asshole so somebody shoot me in the head please

Here is the goods:

Windows Server 2003
Windows XP
Windows 2000

Source Code

I hope I didn't ruined anybody gaming with my stupidity... sorry about this crap

Didn't even notice. Don't guess you could describe the problem so that people like me who try to learn about stuff might be furthur enlightened?

I didn't noticed any problems while I was using version 0.2.4 but when I upgraded to 0.2.5 the two games I own, Pro Evolution Soccer 5 and Pro Evolution Soccer 4 crashed and they won't work anymore, even after a system reboot. I had to reinstall original Microsoft drivers.

Also I've noticed a bug in 0.2.4 while I was playing my game: it was impossibible to make a cross by pressing the "B" button 3 times quickly. With original Microsoft drivers I can do it.

note: I use winxp-sp2

Before you can do floating point math the current status must be saved to be later restored in the end of the function, but I've stupidly added a check for deadzone and full axis in the same place...

This is how it should be

In the end of the deadzone function this else appears... but it does nothing just like the comment says so I've removed it... I guess it serves for something afterall.

For those who don't like deadzone it's still possible to disable it just like before but I've put the check for it outside the function, this is how t should've been done it the first place.

For the record I've discovered this problem playing Legacy of Kain: Defiance, using the old drivers I would get screen artifacts (just like when you overclock your GPU too much), bad calculated vertex (the hair of Kain would extend to the infinite) and finally the game graphics will lock up into a light blue screen.

Maybe the previous version damaged your saves? Try again with a clean install of the games, backup your saves and uninstall/install the game. Anyway I'll check the driver more to see if I did put something in version 0.2.5 that shouldn't be there, also make sure you are using the Windows XP version of the driver.

As for bieng impossible to press button B 3 times... that's wierd, I haven't changed anything related to buttons on any of my versions. Try doing the same on the control panel, again I'll check it later too.

This is all very interesting. I should probably take some college classes on this kinda stuff some day.

The savegames or configuration files aren't corrupted, because if I use the original Microsoft drivers, both games start without any crash. Please note I can't event start the external setting utility of the game with xbcd drivers.

Try the following:
1. Set your XBox pad driver to XBCD again
2. Reboot
3. Try to start the game
4. If it crashes unplug the pad and try again
5. If it still crashes without having the pad plugged revert to version 0.2.1 (on Matt's site) and try again (reboot/plug/unplug)
6. If it still crashes I'm clueless then.

For obvious reason MS drivers are better than mine (MS only hires good experienced coders dispite popular belive)

I've edited that post, I had my comments to the code in the wrong, you could still figure it out anyway but I'm just checking.

As for C classes good luck, I for one hate C, I like high level languanges better (like Python) but I had C classes anyway (you didn't had a choice )

C is a high level language. Coming from python, it might take some getting used to, but stick with it, you may have to alter you thinking some. I know going from C and C++ to python required some altered thinking (for the record I prefer C++, but there is no "one true language").

I'm not a coder, I just happen to know some coding

Just wondering, what exactly does this driver do? Will it make my Xbox 360 controller compatible with NHL 06?

it can do that. but u need to download the correct profile inoreder to do so.

It's really not that hard to make a profile. These last sets even have the cool switch button.

this is supposed to be settup for the nhl 06 and make the right analog stick work i believe (if it doesn't oh well because M$ drivers didn't make it work either)

In trackmania sunrise, i find a bug which doesnt exist with the microsoft driver. When you accelerate, sometimes you need to release accelerator button and push again to reaccelerate.
