忙碌的生活耗透了生命的光輝, 已經多個月閒置了博文, 近月發生的腦惱事件也影響不少, 拋開煩惱正好是資訊月也弄個遊戲迎接此十二月(聖誕宅月), 不欲槍林彈雨般的呆悶煩吵, 劇情動作的年度大作 BATMAN Arkham City 蝙蝠俠:阿卡漢城市 就當之首選了。
在入手 PC 版的一眾腦友必定發現遊戲除了支援鍵盤及滑鼠外, 還支援 XBOX 360 PC 控制器(搖桿/手制), 不幸的是遊戲程式竟然沒有搖桿控制器的自定修改選項, 所有非 XBOX 360 PC 搖桿都或多或少的出現不兼容的失控問題, 難道又要令人納悶再奉獻錢包! 在測試修改 DefaultInput.ini 多次後都不能成功下(某些品牌或許是可以的, 請善用 google), 最大原因是 MP8866 Playstation USB 橋接器, Playstation Dual Shock 2 手制雖然可以被 OS 系統辨識, 但功能部份卻與 XBOX 360 手制有差異, 尤其是右方的模擬桿, 在 BATMAN Arkham City 中除了左方模擬桿上下錯掉, 右方模擬桿也上下錯掉而且不能使用 Slider 模擬, 變成遊戲中無法控制視角和前後移動顛倒, 實測修改 DefaultInput.ini 後仍然無法控制視角(因為不支援 Slider 模擬)。 腦惱發作下終於尋找到可解決辦法, XBOX 360 Controller emulator (XBOX 360 搖桿模擬工具)軟體, 此程式透過 XInput 呼應介面轉換到 Direct Input 呼應介面, 從而對應需要 Direct Input 介面的遊戲軟體(特別是 Game Live for Windows 的遊戲)
