Windows didnвЂ™t recognize it and couldnвЂ™t locate any drivers on the Internet either. Logically I wouldвЂ™ve expected my Xbox One controller to work, but it didnвЂ™t. Come to find out, I donвЂ™t have an appropriate corded 360 controller to use on my PC, nor do I have the wireless receiver that Microsoft mentions on their website to use my wireless controller.

Using the PS4 controller with my laptop is just one of several steps IвЂ™ve taken to make the experience of playing games on my computer more comfortable for myself. At some point in the near future, IвЂ™d like to chronicle my emulation exploits for now it entails a couple of CastlevaniaВ releases, but this is potentially useful information for anyone into emulation.
