Hi guys and welcome to another beautiful Sunday morning,

It’s already 24th and these seems to move faster than before and Christmas just around the corner, with crypto taken a serious beating in the market, but like they said,

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, hope that’s the case come next year for bitcoin.

Meanwhile, yesterday made a hunt post on of my favorite gaming software and it truly helped a lot, those days I was yet to get fully acquainted with PC keyboard, if you played on console games for a while, it becomes impossible if not almost impossible to properly game on PC using a keyboard and mouse, the controls don’t tall with the functions you need and the multitasking on both hands can becomes somewhat stressful, that’s if you just entered PC gaming.

That been said, I believe that product was going to make a smooth transition from console gaming to PC and if not, well you can continue teaching yourself the basis of PC gaming,

Practice make perfect,

And am sure that applies to every area/ aspect of life, so don’t give up on gaming, but rather practice with the tools available to you and within no time, you will start grasping the concept.
With that out of the way, what’s the name of the product and what do we stand to gain?

X360ce,

Just like the name sounds or spelled, you can tell is somewhat related to xbox and yes you are right and same time not so right, the software has nothing do with with xbox and same time uses xbox keys mapping.

X360ce is a free to use software that allows users/ gamer to emulate xbox control on a PC, by control I mean it imposes or overwrite the keyboard default settings on some games and make them work using usb joystick controller.

It works like an emulator, say an android emulator on PC, the software allows PC users to run android files seamless on their PC device, although it is limited to certain android files but the supported range of android application then is wide.

If you still confuse, take X360ce as an emulator, and emulators are files or devices that enables users to run unsupported format on their default device e.g android emulator, java emulator, PSP emulator and many more others.

They all work on same principle, which is to allow user to run their program on an unsupported device.

With that been said, I believe the above should be a little easier to understand and I believe I got your attention now, so let’s continue.

Like I said, this software will increase and ease your pain as you move or deviate from console gaming to PC gaming, why would someone decide to port from console gaming to PC?

Lol I know you gamers would love to argue about that and troll each other as well, well let’s leave that discussion and the possible trolls for later or some other time.

A little breakdown or tutorial as to how to get X360ce running on your device.

Before we move any further, the emulator or software does not support all PC games and you might find it not to work after applying the above, but it supports wide range, let’s just hope that it works on the game we are trying to emulate if not, going to drop another software that also does same feature some time later, but then unlike X360ce that emulator cost, but then it’s worth it.

Requirements to get started

  • X360ce file can be downloaded from Here

  • Windows PC, yet to support other device

  • A game controller, xbox controller or any other usb game controller.

Copy the files into a specific folder and open the .exe file

The program will run and an image like the below will be displayed to you,

Configure your controller to meet the desired keys, save and close the software.

To make it run on a particular game,

You need to copy the x360ce files, currently on that folder and drop in the folder were the desired game installed.

To do this, go to desktop, right click on the game and click open file location.

It will take you to the appropriate folder, were that game initially installed, paste the copied files there.

Open the game once again and start using your usb game controller to play the games just like you would on a console game.
