Pre-release. Tested on one machine, so treat it as a test build.

Xbox 360 Toy Pad Support

Every retail Toy Pad is now supported except Xbox One - Wii U, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and, new here, Xbox 360.

The 360 pad was never going to be found before: it is not the same USB device as the others. PDP shipped the pad under two identities, and we only knew one of them.

It also needed the command frames sent in a different shape — the 360 pad speaks the wrapped Xbox frame that a PC pad does not, and we were unwrapping it for everybody.

Installing the driver - do this first

If Device Manager shows your 360 pad as "Driver is unavailable", nothing is broken. Windows ships no driver for that pad at all. You install one yourself, once, and it takes about a minute:

  1. Download Zadig and run it.

  2. Plug the Toy Pad in.

  3. In Zadig, tick Options → List All Devices.

  4. Pick your pad in the drop-down and check the USB ID against the table above before you touch anything — pointing Zadig at the wrong device will take that device away from Windows.

  5. Choose libusb-win32 as the driver, then press Install Driver.

    On a pad Windows already had a driver for, that button reads Replace Driver instead. Same step.

  6. In game press F4, open Input, untick toypad_emulation, and restart the game.

The pad lights up a few seconds after the game starts. Put a figure on it and it appears in game, exactly like on a console.

To give the pad back to Windows later — for a real console, or other software — uninstall that driver in Device Manager.

If the pad stays dark

There is a new setting, toypad_passthrough_frame (F4 → Input). Leave it on auto; it picks the right frame shape from the pad it found. If some pad revision disagrees, keep and strip force it either way, and game.log says which one is in use.

Updating

Either file works. update-0.1.14.rxp is the small one and applies to any install from 0.1.0 onward; DimensionsRecompiled-Setup.exe is the full installer and repairs an install without touching saves.

The README that came with your install is written at install time, so an in-place update leaves the old one. Everything new is above.
