Recommended Posts

Have you ever wished that you could play runescape on your xbox or playstation? Sure you have! Well, maybe not. Well there are still some of you out there who want to.

 

 

 

As you are aware of (or not), the xbox 360's controller has drivers that work with windows xp and vista. There are several games that allow you to use the controller with them the same way it would work on the xbox 360.

 

 

 

There are also programs that allow you to use the xbox 360 controller as a mouse!

 

 

 

 

 

What you will need:

 

 

 

Wired xbox 360 controller

Xbox 360 controller for Windows

OR

 

 

 

Wireless xbox 360 controller WITH the xbox 360 Wireless reciever

If you have the wired xbox 360 controller, you'll need to download the drivers for it to work with windows. The wireless controller w/ reciever and windows controller come with a CD that has the drivers for you.

 

Get the driver at http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/gaming/download.mspx

 

 

 

Next, follow the installation instructions to set up the controller. Make sure the computer recognizes the controller is plugged in.

 

 

 

How to find out if the controller is working:

 

 

 

Click Start

 

Go to Settings and then control panel.

 

Click Game Controllers

 

You should see the xbox 360 controller option available. Click it, and then click properties.

 

 

 

 

 

Mess around with the joysticks, buttons, make sure every button lights up something in the window. It should work. If not, make sure the drivers are installed and everything is connected. If so, move on.

 

 

 

 

 

How to configure the controller!

 

 

 

First of all, the controller won't be able to do anything without a third party program. This is where this cool little tool comes in.

 

 

 

ControlMK allows anything you plug in to your computer to be configured for just about anything. May it be a playstation, N64, or xbox controller (gl findind plugs to put them in to your PC), it can assign buttons and movement to act as any imput from your mouse or keybord.

 

 

 

You'll need to install ControlMK.

 

 

 

 

 

http://www.redcl0ud.com/controlmk

 

 

 

 

 

Go there and download the latest version. It should be V0232.

 

 

 

Once it is installed, make a fancy little shortcut onto your desktop. This needs to be running if you are to use the controller for runescape.

 

 

 

This is how you should set up the controller.

 

 

 

These are the following buttons that have been set up refer to.

 

 

 

X Axies: Left stick, mouse movement

 

 

 

Z Axies: Scroll wheel. Left up, right down

 

 

 

X and Y Rotation: Right stick, arrow keys

 

 

 

Button 0: A button, left click

 

 

 

Button 1: B button, right click

 

 

 

Button 2: X button (unused)

 

Button 3: Y button (unused)

 

Button 4: Left bumper (unused)

 

Button 5: Right bumper (unused)

 

Button 6: Select button (unused)

 

 

 

Button 7: Start button, Mouse middle click (opens new tab)

 

 

 

Button 8: Left stick click, Home (brings you to top of page)

 

 

 

Button 9: Right stick click, End (brings you to bottom of page)

After you configure the controller options, try it out. It works as a mouse! But make sure you hit save first, or all that hard work will just be wasted time.

 

 

 

Now make sure all the options are as they are in the image or you might get a mouse that doesn't stop moving. Also, make sure that your controller is active and pluged in BEFORE you start ControlMK.

 

 

 

Once the program is running and saved, minimize the window. It will go into the task bar with a small controller stick animation. This means the program is reading imput. If the controller stops working and the animation stops, right click it in the taskbar and hit "Start Recording Data"

 

 

 

 

 

Some ways you can use this on runescape that are useful.. sort of

 

 

 

Alching, just move pointer to that special spot and press A!

 

 

 

Selling massave amounts of stuff to shop, just move mouse and press A

 

 

 

pretty much anything that requires your mouse to not move alot that also invloces alot of clicking?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you liked my first guide, thanks

You can always do it the easy way, if you have a PS3 ofcourse. Which basicaly means : use the browser to play RS :|

 

 

 

Havn't tried it yet, so perhaps it won't work, but it should, and there's probably a way around this already :).

I know what I know and what I know might well not be what you want to know but then seeing as only I know what I know and you do not know what I know then you will not know if what I know is what you would like to know

I've tried to play RS on my PS3 but the applet won't open. I don't think a PlayStation has JAva to be able to run RS.

Wii works aswell..

 

 

 

Ooh, a Wii controller would be cool to use as a mouse.

 

 

 

OT: very nice guide, I wouldn't have though of that on my own. (FYI, the PS3 controller is actually a USB plug, so it would work as well.)

perfect grammar is one thing, typing like a drugged monkey and enjoying it is another

AMEN!

Someone should find a way to play RS on a PSP.

 

Great guide though. 10\10. I dont have a 360, but Im thinking about buying a single controller now lol.

It just goes to show that, though there's an age requirement, there's no IQ requirement to play RS.

One little problem is that the Wii doesnt run the Java Applet. Ive tried on mine. Wouldve been awesome, especially if a Wii keyboard.
