The purpose of Xoutput, a tool specifically designed for converting DirectInput APIs to Xinput, is to allow users to enjoy their current games and the ones left with their old Atari, Gamepad, or other similar peripheral device.

Features:

It supports Xbox controller emulation
It supports Axis, button, slider, dpad support
It supports ViGEm and SCPToolkit compatibility
It supports Multiple languages
It supports Windows operating system
It affords compatibility and supports old game controllers such as gamepad, wheel, joystick, etc.
It manages the configuration of old and new devices without mapping

Specifically for game players that have old game controllers, but are unable to locate or acquire compatibility with the current new games, with the aid of Xoutput they can now make use of these controllers. Due to Microsoft's decision to switch from DirectInput to XInput on the controller APIs, the controller APIs became static. In addition, both types of APIs have coexisted by consensus for quite some time; at least when Xoutput was released, both of them would not be compatible with most video games.

A second output allows old games to remain on the shelves, while a third output can make old controllers compatible with new games.

Also, since XInput is the new standard game controller input in Windows, and DirectInput is no longer supported by Universal Windows Platform software, and DirectInput can no longer directly be used, users should use the DirectInput Device Client application. In spite of what may seem to be a step backward in development, XInput can be easier to design and use on dedicated devices. It often is difficult, however, for it to make a good distinction between old and new since both lack special elements. Although users embraced the latest API for specialized controllers fairly readily, a significant number had not made the switch.

anti micro is a graphical program that is used to map the function of the applicable controls from peripheral or other compatible controlling devices. this allows you the user to decide what kind of accessibility and game control they are most comfortable with.while this is a compatible part of the compatible operating systems, it can work in tandem with other application.

It is kind of annoying how fast technology can change because previous consoles you use start to have issues within a year or less. This really helps with allows your old controllers work for online gaming without much issue at all. This has probably saved me hundreds over the past year.

XOutput is a simple application that enables you to use DirectInput control mapping in games that only support XInput. The configuration is quite simple and easy. The wrapper is compatible with ViGEm and SCPToolkit, and has multiple languages available. It's being continuously worked on by csutorasa, and the source code in C# and available open-source through the MIT License on GitHub.

There is nothing worse than having an amazing PC game that you would love to use your Xbox 360 console controller for, but you cannot because its output is incompatible.  It happened to me with a PC flight simulator recently.  XOutput for Windows is a free program that sorts this problem out.  Once installed, it changes the DirectInput data of the Xbox 360 controller to XInput data and you can use it on all those PC games for which you prefer your Xbox 360 controller.
