This appendix describes the procedure for forcing the Bluetooth driver that is included with Windows Vista to install on a new Bluetooth radio. Windows XP SP2 uses a similar procedure, although some of the details are different.

Step 1: Start Device Manager and Select the Bluetooth Radio

To start Device Manager:

  1. Select Start, navigate to All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt, select and hold (or right-click) Command Prompt, and then select and hold (or right-click) Run as administrator to open a command window with elevated privileges.
  2. Type the following: Devmgmt.msc

Under Other Devices, find the entry for the Bluetooth radio on the Device Manager list of devices. In the following figure, the radio’s name is ”UGT”. On some portable computers, you might be required to first turn on the Bluetooth radio by using a key combination such as Fn+F5.

Devices

To verify that the selected device is a Bluetooth radio, select and hold (or right-click) the device name and then select Properties to display the Properties dialog box. On the Details tab, verify that the device has the compatible ID for a Bluetooth radio:

USBClass_e0&SubClass_01&Prot_01

Step 2: Start the Update Driver Software Wizard

Select and hold (or right-click) the Bluetooth radio node and then select Update Driver Software. To go to the page in the following figure, select Browse my computer for driver software. To manually select a driver, select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

Step 3: Select the Generic Bluetooth Driver

The Update Driver Software Wizard next displays a list of available drivers. Select Bluetooth Radios and then select a Bluetooth radio that matches your system, as shown in the following figure. If you are not sure which driver to use, you can use the generic driver for testing. To do this, select Generic Adapter as manufacturer and Generic Bluetooth Adapter as the model.

After you select a driver, the wizard asks you to confirm that you want to install the specified driver on the new Bluetooth radio. If you try to install a Bluetooth driver on a device that is not a Bluetooth radio, the driver will probably not start.

If the driver loads correctly, Device Manager should have a Generic Bluetooth Adapter entry under the Bluetooth Radios node, as shown in the following figure.

If the driver failed to start, for example, if Windows returned a start error code, examine the event log to help determine the cause.

Have you ever wanted to use your MFI (Made for iPhone/iPad) game controller under Windows? With MFI Gamepad Feeder it’s possible!

How it works?

MFI Gamepad Feeder is a special program that works in tandem with vGen and ScpVBus that creates virtual Xbox 360 controller device in your system.

It looks like modern MFI game controllers are recognized as standard HID gamepads under Windows, but they’re not visible in “USB Game Controllers”, so games won’t be able to use them. MFI Gamepad Feeder is connecting to these “HID gamepads”, and it’s redirecting raw input from them, directly to the ScpVBus devices.

Requirements

Current version of MFI Gamepad Feeder requires

  • latest Xbox 360 drivers first (Windows 7 Only).
  • supported MFI Gamepad (list of supported gamepads listed below)

Application was tested on Windows 10, but it should work on older systems as well.

Installation

  1. Download and install MFI Gamepad Feeder (restart required)
  2. Plug in your controllers (check compatibility list). If necessary you may need to pair them via Bluetooth.
  3. Launch MFI Gamepad Feeder application and select:
  4. Click “Active” checkbox on the right next to the first row
  5. Select your gamepad from “Gamepad device” list. In my case (SteelSeries Nimbus gamepad), gamepad wasn’t advertising itself with correct Product name / Manufacturer Name, so I’ve had to guess which one it was
  6. Select ID of your controller (1-4)
  7. Select mapping file (All configuration files are stored in the “Configs” folder in the application folder)
  8. Hit Start button
  9. Play your favorite games!

Mappings editor

In order to support different types of MFI controllers you can use included mappings editor.

HID -> XBox 360 translation

In order to create good gamepad mapping you need to understand how MFIGamepadFeeder is transforming HID controllers to XBox 360 ones.

Every time you press a button / touch analog stick on you controller, your PC is receiving a small set of numbers that are describing current state of the device.

For example SteelSeries Nimbus is sending 18 numbers, each one is responsible for different button / axis. In order to translate these numbers, so MFIGamepadFeeder would be able to understand them, you need to specify meaning of each of them.

Editor

In order to create a new mapping:

  1. Select correct HID device in the “General mapping” tab. This will allow you to see preview of all the data that is coming form the controller.
  2. Hit New button in the right top corner of the screen.
  3. Create as many mapping items as necessary using “Add new item” button at the bottom
  4. Specify type of each item:
    • Button (for all buttons on the controller)
    • DPad
    • Axis (for analog sticks and triggers)
    • Empty (for unused parameters)
  5. For each item select what XBox controller role it would acquire (accordingly to the previously selected type)
  6. Hit Save button

Virtual keys

Because it isn’t physically impossible to emulate all Xbox 360 buttons, even on extended MFI controllers (for example there is only “Menu” button on MFI, whilst there is “Back” and “Start” on X360), only way to use them all is using “virtual keys”.

Virtual Keys are allowing you to translate even complicated button combinations to different button presses.

You can access Virtual Keys from the second tab in the Mapping Editor. Manual for this part of the editor is rather straightforward.

For example this configuration:

will result in:

Pressing RBumper, LBumper and Start together will be changed to Back button.

LBumper + Start will end up with LeftStick press, whilst RBumper + Start will be RightStick press.

  • SteelSeries Nimbus (only via Bluetooth)

Not compatibile:

  • Mad Catz Micro C.T.R.L i

Keep in mind that all controllers without HID interface won’t be compatible with MFIGamepadFeeder.

In order to connect your gamepad via bluetooth you need to:

  1. Turn on your gamepad (and press bluetooth pairing button)
  2. Select the Start menu, then select Settings > Devices > Other devices.
  3. Turn on Bluetooth > select the device > Ready to pair.
  4. Follow any more instructions if they appear.

I’ve started with support for SteelSeries Nimbus controller only, if you’d like to add support for other game controller, post pull request with mapping file on GitHub issues page.
