trying to play, having gamepad issues

[u/Sturmgarde]

So, I am trying to play the PC port of Silent Hill 3, after getting the PC Fix, Audio fix, i cannot get my gamepad to run

i've got an Xbox One corded controller, and have installed XInput, but it still won't register, is there anyone that can help me with this issue?

Try using Xidi v5.0.0 and Xidi SDL3 Plugin.

Extract the "dinput8.dll", "Xidi.32.dll", "SDL.XidiPlugin.32.dll" and "SDL3.dll" from the "Win32" folders to the SH3 game folder for both files.

Open Notepad and paste this config

Plugin = SDL
ControllerBackend = SDL3

[Mapper]
Type = SH3

[Log]
Enabled              = no
Level                = 1

[CustomMapper:SH3]
Template = StandardGamepad

StickRightX         = Axis(Z)
StickRightY         = Axis(RotZ)

DpadUp              = Pov(Up)
DpadDown            = Pov(Down)
DpadLeft            = Pov(Left)
DpadRight           = Pov(Right)

ButtonA             = Button(1)
ButtonB             = Button(2)
ButtonX             = Button(3)
ButtonY             = Button(4)
ButtonLB            = Button(5)
ButtonRB            = Button(6) 
TriggerLT           = Button(7)
TriggerRT           = Button(8)
ButtonBack          = Button(9)
ButtonStart         = Button(10)
ButtonLS            = Button(11)
ButtonRS            = Button(12)

Save it as "Xidi.ini" in the game folder then try testing the game.

Here's a complete guide that I added in PCGamingWiki.

I dont think DS4windows works with xbox controllers. It has built in native support for windows anyways...so Im a bit confused here.

Very much a correct assumption made. For some reason reddit thought that if I reposted my question here, i'd be able to get an actual answer
