    Question Dolphin Xbox 360 Controller support via USB Bluetooth

    I felt like that I wanted to try and connect my Xbox 360 controller to dolphin emulator to replace my keyboard for the GCN controller.

    Although, I noticed a few downsides:

    1. Lag on my PC since my PC isn't powerful enough
    2. Weird controls
    3. Problems connecting (main concern of this thread)

    When I tried to connect, it said it required a "Microsoft stack" bluetooth controller or something (I did this before I realised that I had no internal bluetooth support).

    Am I required to get a specific Microsoft USB dongle or not for my Xbox 360 controller? I got my 360 in Dec. 2012.
    System Specs are Win7 Home Premium x64 SP1, i3-2310M @2.1GHz, 4GB Ram and 128MB Intel HD Graphics 3000.

    Click the thanks button if I helped in any way!

    To use a wireless 360 pad yes you need a specialised dongle so not any bluetooth dongle will do

    You want something called a Wireless Gaming Receiver (For 360) it's still just a USB dongle but it's made just for picking up on the 360 pads
