Does anyone know of some dirivers for W98 that will let you use the Xbox 360 wired USB Controller?

I got a mate who want to use it with his need for speed games but he is only running Win98SE

Unless someone is working on an unofficial driver for Win98, you'll be out of luck as the device requires Windows XP with SP1+.

I figured someone around here might have knowen of a generic USB gamepad driver for Win98 which might work with the Wired USB Xbox 360 controler.

You could give XBCD a bash - this supposedly works for 98/2000/XP (but the rumble still doesn't work). Good luck though, the only game I found the controller useful for was Lego Star Wars.
