Steel Battalion Controller direct input driver on Windows 7 64bit

[smnpstm]

Hello everyone,

I am here with a request for help. I would like to use this Xbox 1 controller on my pc (using a little converter cable), but there are currently no drivers available for Windows 7 64bit.

This is a picture of the controller: http://www.steelbattalion.org/controllerOld.jpg

Now in the past there have been people that had several attempts at writing stuff for this. There's the VTchid project which is an opensource driver for 32bit windows systems (lots of useful information for scripting the 64bit driver) which can be found here: http://www.tamanegi.org/prog/vtchid/...c-0.2.1.tar.gz

And then there is the more recently made SteelBattalion.Net package which should help a lot aswell. It can be found here: http://steelbattalionnet.codeplex.com/

Using the two mentioned resources it should be very doable for an experienced coder to successfuly write a driver script with configuration & joystic calibration options. And that is what i'm here to ask for. Is there anyone that would be willing to write this driver for me, i am even willing to pay something i can afford through paypal, i really just want to get driving tanks and flying planes with that thing on my windows 7 64bit computer!

Thank you for the read and take care,

Simon.

Since you asked.

I spent the last 2.5 weeks and around 40 hours and I have the controller completely working,

Installation video:

And in case people have problems installing it, I made a proof video showing that it works.
Its long since I did it all in one take:
