Mafia 2 Controller Support Xbox One

Apple is set to be working with Microsoft to enable support for controllers of Microsoft’s next-gen consoles Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S that recently went on sale worldwide. The news was confirmed in a document on Apple’s website that mentions the controllers that iPhones support.

The new controller may not have been as improved as the Dualsense PlayStation 5 controller but it is still an improvement over its predecessor. It may also be true that iOS 14.3 beta version already has the support to connect the new Xbox controllers as there have been reports that it has support for Sony’s Dualsense controller.

Does mafia 2 have controller support

Apple may have not marketed the iPhones as devices that are capable of hardcore gaming until recently but even the ones that were launched two-three years ago are capable of running FPS games at ease. However, not everyone is satisfied with the touch controls and these gamers often resort to connect controllers and also mount them to game more effortlessly.

It can be a must-have accessory for those who opt for the iPhone 12 mini or have an older iPhone as they will be able to see more of the screen when connected to a controller. The controllers will be compatible with iPads as well.

Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles are currently available for Rs 34,999 and Rs 49,990. On the other hand, the iPhone 12 series retails at a starting price of Rs 69,990. Games who have already got their hands on iPhone 12 series or considering getting one may be elated to see that they don’t have to shell out extra money to get a controller with support for next-gen controllers already.

Getting a Joy stick to work with Mafia II and other PC XBox360 exclusive games

If you have never tried using a good joy stick in a PC game that has driving, like Need for Speed, TestDrive Unlimited, etc. you are missing out on a really fun, precision driving controller. I've used a Logitech MOMO Wheel/pedals set in the past and though it is excellent, you have to set it up each time and it actually is no better then a good joy stick if set up properly, although driving with a force feedback wheel with paddle shifters or shift stick and pedals for gas and brakes is lots of fun.

The problem is that many games are no longer supporting joy sticks and are more and more reverting to using the free Microsoft Xbox360 Windows Games system. If you try to use a Joy stick or wheel set in a game like this, you have to use a keyboard profiler like the free Joy-to-Key, or the $10 XPadder, or the $30 Pinnacle Profiler. These allow you to assign keyboard strokes to axis or buttons on the Joy stick or Wheel and though they all work well, they aren't able to handle axis movements like steering and throttle/brakes with out severe sensitivity issues. Even the Pinnacle Profiler, that does have a sensitivity adjustment can't handle the problem adequately in some games like Mafia II while trying to steer a car. Where as, using the Xbox360 profiler and assigning it's buttons to a joy stick gives very smooth steering and control. It's just a matter of figuring out how to do it as it's very complicated and I've found no clear instructions on any of the game forums.. even Thrustmaster had no solution, except to suggest a keyboard profiller.

I have a Thrustmaster T16000M Joy stick, the best stick I have found at a reasonable price and I use it for PC games like Over Flanders Fields, Rise of Flight, Wings of Prey, Wings of War, Test Drive Unlimited, Need for Speed, Mafia I etc. and all of these games work fine with their own setup assignments built in.

When I got Mafia II I was extremely disappointed to find that it only supports the Xbox360 game controller, but there is a way around this and once discovered, it works great:

Here is a step by step tutorial on how to set up your stick to work in Mafia II with the Xbox360 Profiler
I have Windows 7 64x and the Thrustmaster T16000M stick, but this will get you going if you have a different stick or even a wheel set.

  • Download the Xbox360 2.0.2.94 Profiler and save it to a folder or your desktop:
    .

    32x Games (XBOX 360 Controller Emulator 2.0.2.95 Beta 2 with XInput 3.3.1.382 32bit ) Mafia II works fine for me with this one
    .and also, for64x Games only x360ce Lib 64bit 3.3.1.382 [special 64x dll file only for x64 games]
    .
  • Unzip the file(s) you downloaded and put the 32x x360cr.exe file in your Mafia II folder:
    C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteamAppscommonmafia iipc
    .
  • Double click the x360ce.exe program in the Mafia PC folder and agree to create the two files it needs. You will end up with these files in the Mafia II PC folder:
    x360cr.exe, x360ce.ini, xinput1_3.dll
    Note: I haven't tried it, but if you think the game will support 64x, copy the unzipped 64x dll file you downloaded and unzipped,
    'xinput1_3.dll' and replace the 32x one in the Mafia II PC folder.
    .
  • Create a desktop short cut for the program as follows: Right click on the x360ce.exe file
    --> Send To --> Desktop Create Shortcut
    .
  • Be sure your joy stick is plugged in, calibrated & working, (My settings in Windows 7):
    --> Start --> Devices & Printers --> T.16000M icon --> right click --> Game Control Settings
    .
  • Run the x360ce.exe profile program shortcut by double clicking on it and you will get the controller window.
    .
  • Click the Controller 1 Tab: On the right you should see a tab for your joy stick. Click on it and be sure your stick lists the buttons etc. Test all the buttons and movements.
    .
  • Click the Options Tab: Fake Mode should be Normal
    .
  • Click the Force Feedback Tab: Enable FB if you have it. I don't and I don't know if it works.
    .
  • Click on the Advanced Tab: Select 'Flight Stick from the Device Type drop down list. Don't change anything else.
    .
  • Click on the General Tab: See the image below set up for my T16000m joy stick. Note that the controller buttons and mini sticks are set to certain functions in Mafia II for driving and for walking. I've indicated all the driving functions available in Mafia II with notes below. They can't be changed.. What we want to do is associate those set functions that you want to use to the buttons and axis on our joy stick by changing the selections in the drop down box for each controller function we want to use on our stick (highlighted text).
    .
    Important: If you are going to try to use an axis for the throttle and brakes (Left and Right control triggers) instead of assigning them to buttons you must use the Half Axis choices or it won't work properly.
    (HAxis2 for Brake/Reverse for the left Trigger, and the Inverted, IHAxis2 for the Acceleration on the right Trigger).

Remember that when you exit a car, these joy stick controls are used differently when walking.
ie: If you walk and push the stick forward you will be in the Aim mode. If you push the stick back you will fire your gun, etc.
I like using the mouse to walk, run etc., so I just don't touch the stick till I get in a car.

Hope this helps some of you.. [|;~. rabu
