How to Update XInput DLLs

  1. Set Solution Configuration to Release\x86,
  2. Build x360ce Project (creates: x360ce\bin\Debug\xinput1_3.dll
  3. Set Solution Configuration to Release\x64,
  4. Build x360ce Project (creates: x360ce\bin64\Debug\xinput1_3.dll)
  5. Delete 3 files inside: x360ce.App\Resources
    xinput.dll - Any CPU (MSIL) build - we are not using it at the moment. xinput_x64.dll - x64 build (copy from xinput_x86.dll - x86 build
  6. Run x360ce.App\Documents<YourName>-xinput.sign.bat it will copy XInput files into resources folder and sign them: x360ce\bin\Debug\xinput1_3.dll > x360ce.App\Resources\xinput.dll x360ce\bin\Debug\xinput1_3.dll > x360ce.App\Resources\xinput_x86.dll x360ce\bin64\Debug\xinput1_3.dll > x360ce.App\Resources\xinput_x64.dll Note: My digital signature files are outside the project folder. Inside the project these files are included and marked as "Embedded Resource" So application can extract them if missing: x360ce.App\Resources\xinput.dll x360ce.App\Resources\xinput_x86.dll x360ce.App\Resources\xinput_x64.dll Default configuration files are embedded too. x360ce.App\Presets\x360ce.ini Setting files should be converted to XML at some point.
  7. Then build 32-bit and 64-bit application with: Solution Configuration set to: Release\x86 Solution Configuration set to: Release\x64

How to Debug Application

  2. Build 'x360ce' Project (creates: x360ce\bin\Debug\xinput1_3.dll or
  3. Set Solution Configuration to Debug\x64,
  4. Build 'x360ce' Project (creates: x360ce\bin64\Debug\xinput1_3.dll)
  5. Select 'x360ce.App' project and press F5. Visual Studio will copy 'x360ce' debug files (*.dll, *.pdb) to Application's debug folder and starts debugging.
