PROGRAMMING The X-Arcade was designed to be used with a variety of games and emulators and will work with virtually any game or emulator on your PC in the default Mode 1 without programming.

PCB Replacement Guide or Tri-Mode PCB replacement guide (by Arcade-One) PS2 PCB Upgrade Guide The original X-Arcade Joystick electronics PCB was designed as a keyboard, but new game controller modes (Xinput and DirectInput) have become popular since then.

Now with the flip of the mode switch you can switch your X-Arcade between Keyboard Mode, DirectInput Mode, or Xinput Mode.

You can then play with your X-Arcade as (2) Xinput Game Controllers or (2) DirectInput Game Controllers to support many devices such as the Nvidia Shield, Android-based consoles and TV boxes, Steam Link, Kodi, Raspberry PI, dedicated emulation consoles and more.

Below we give our recommendation for what to use each mode for, but some modes can be used for multiple devices.

Keyboard (Mode 1): MAME for PC Mac, emulators that dont have game controller support Keyboard Programmable (Mode 2): You can map any keyboard keys you want to any button or joystick direction.

Xinput (Mode 4): PC, Mac (requires 3rd-party software ), Steam Steam Link, VROculus Rift, Nvidia Shield, Raspberry Pie, Kodi.

DirectInput: (Mode 3, we only recommend trying DirectInput mode when Xinput mode doesnt work for your device): PC, Mac, Android, Various Emulation Consoles, PlayStation 3 (limited functionality, not supported) NOTE: The layout and instructions below requires the newest firmware update here.

Analog Control Overview: Handheld gamepad controllers for newer game consoles feature both digital and analog controlling devices, a D-pad and two analog thumb-sticks.

Most games use the D-pad andor left thumbstick to operate a game.

The X-Arcade supports only one digital joystick per player, therefore adjustments need to be made to select whether this joystick functions as the D-pad or the left analog thumbstick.

See the key legend above for directions on switching between analog and digital on the 360, but in general: PM X (Top-left) Digital (D-PAD) PM Y (Top-middle) Analog 1 (primary thumbstick) PM LB (Top-right) Analog 2 (secondary thumbstick) Analog Tilt Sensitivity While using Analog 1 mode (PMY) you can change how sensitive the movement is from normal full-tilt (default) to half-tilt sensitivity.

Half-tilt sensitivity would be equal to moving the analog thumbstick on your gamepad to about halfway in any direction instead of fully (full-tilt).

Tilt Sensitivity Mode Toggle: PM LT Half-Tilt Sensitivity PM RT Full-Tilt Sensitivity (default) DualStick Mode (2-Player X-Arcades Only): Some games may require the use of 2 control devices simultaneously, for example, console versions of arcade classics like Robotron, SmashTV, Crazy Climber, and Karate Champ.

While the X-Arcade is not ideal for all types of games, for example, first-person shooters, it has the ability to play all of them thanks to DualStick Mode.

DualStick Mode makes the second player joystick of a dual X-Arcade act like the right analog thumbstick on a gamepad.

But it also makes the buttons on the player 2 side mirror those of the player 1 side, so the buttons on both sides can be used for single-player game play.

DualStick mode is toggled on and off by pressing the PM button and button 6 (RB) simultaneously, and while in DualStick mode you can still change Joystick 1 between D-PAD and analog thumbstick mode.

To test your controller is working as an Xinput controller, download and run Xinput Test.

For DirectInput or Xinput you can test using either A) this web-based HTML5 Gamepad Tester, or B) press the Windows key on your keyboard (or click on the Start button) and search for joystick and open Set up USB game controller s (or similar depending on Windows version), then click Properties to test.

NOTE: If in mode 3 or 4 you are also getting keyboard outputs, that is being caused by Steam.

To fix, go to SettingsControllerGeneral Controller Settings and uncheck to turn off Xbox Configuration Support.
