One set will have my emulator game mappings and the second set will have no mappings at all so I can leave Xpadder running when I want to play games that don't need Xpadder so they can use my controller natively.
How can I switch between them? I don't want to set a single button to switch because I use all my buttons. So, I would like to have set 2 become active when I do something like press and hold a button for like 3 seconds OR maybe just toggle if I press and hold one button and then press a second button.
You can have xpadder auto launch profiles when you launch different programs. If you click the wrench button top right, then select autoprofile you can set it up there. I have a big box profile that auto loads when bigbox boots, and have mapped f1 and f3 to it soo I can save and load games by holding back and using the shoulder buttons.
Sorry my misunderstanding, I don't think that is possible with xpadder. If there was keyboard shortcuts for loading profiles it could be possible, but I don't think there are. That's why I use auto profiles, so when certain programs or emulators launch it auto switches.
my english is poor
excuse me
i know this question is for 2016 year
but i answer it because it is may one person has this problem
when you are choosing for buttons a word from virtual keyboard of xpadder
on this virtual keyboard is a button "advanced"
click on it
you see there is a option "set selector"
you can enable it and make it until with a button switch set 2 or set 1 or set 3
It has to be done this exact way. I tried setting the toggles the same both ways (hold select and press start), but that causes conflicts - XPadder will try to cycle you through multiple profiles if you do that. But so long as you have the order reversed 'on the way back,' it seems to be working reliably.
Also, you have to release the 'toggle' key before you release the 'hold' key in order for this to work reliably.
Edit: If you press select first, then start every time for toggling it both ways, the key you release first determines whether or not the toggle is successful. To toggle to the blank profile, press select+start, release start first. To toggle to the main profile, press select+start, release select first.
Give it a shot.

I downloaded the recommended program xpadder last night, and have found it to be very easy to use and an insanely intuitive program. The problem is I dont know how to launch it with an emulator. Here is my "Also launch" command, D:\My Games\Xpadder\xpad2.xpadderprofile , but it doesnt seem to launch with the emulator. I have also placed this in the "launch before" box with no results. TIA 5741K3R
No luck, it was working but I couldnt get it to switch to another profile on exiting. Is there a guide or can someone just post there commands verbatim. What is the /M for at the end of your code. Also Xpadder is having issues with my controller, it assigns dpad up to zero then it says zero is invalid!!! I found a workaround though. I just assigned it to a made up button. Starting to ramble from too much red bull.....
D:\My Games\Xpadder\Xpadder.exe "D:\My Games\Xpadder\xpad0.xpadderprofile" /M I have been working with this exact line, and variations thereof; with and without .xpadderprofile, /M, and quotes. is it even possible to launch different schemes for each game?
Ive downloaded pskill after deciding tskill was useless, and it works like a charm. I can now get gameex to kill xpadder after every time i exit. Thanks for the info. But I still dont know how to load a specific xpad profile. I have been trying for hours... and I can only get it to launch the default scheme. Im going for a beer. Ill check back in a bit. By the way thanks for the quick responses... I have been modding systems and messing with emulators for about 5 months now and its a constant learning proccess and that what I love about it.
I named it Test.. You can name it whatever you want. Once saved I created a copy of it.. (by right clicking and choosing copy and pasting it in the same directory) I renamed the copy to TEST2... Again you can name it whatever you want. I opened up the COPY and re-assigned the keys and I saved it.
I finally came back and figured this one out. I used batch files to launch specific profiles, and it works perfectly. Thanks for your help, the real problem was I had no idea what you were talking about, so I read up on a few things over the past few months, and I think Ive got a little bit better grasp on the technical side of things. Although I have a quick question, how do I assign a specific profile to the right controller. I read what wrote above but it doesnt seem to work that way. I am setting up a second controller. When I try to launch it either switches player 1 and 2 profile or opens the same profile for both, but it rarely ever works right. Here is the batch file I am using
The first is for profile 1 the second is for 2. Ive tried typing "profile1" and "profile2" behind them respectively but the same problem occurs. I know your probably fed up with my questions but I have had no problems or questions about any other part of this program (which I purchased because I think its the coolest program ever) and I have taken upon myself to go out of my way to learn and find the answers on my own. So thanks again for your help I am really learning here.
After the updates Xpadder plugin has stopped working properly. Until about three weeks ago everything worked perfectly. I noticed that when I start a game Xpadder plugin is open but to push the buttons mapped to the joystick they do not turn on the light. To keep clicking on the tab of the first and second player the xpadder begins to respond to commands. Then I go back to the emulator and the controls will function. With the game already started and without the controls work I press the windows key. After that I go on the icon Xpadder which is open to check it is working. Tightening the buttons but the lights that show the keys are being pressed not light. So I'm browsing the various tabs representing each joyticks connected in xpadder. Doing it xpadder starts to work, and shall be response of buttons pressed.
Xpadder updated the program yet nothing has changed.
I added the "neogeo" files and "super Nintendo", as are examples of emulators that I'm not working correctly with more xpadder.
ps.I'm not really lucky. Every update something stops working.
I found a curious thing. When you start the game with only one control the xpadder funcionan normally. But if more than one control is connected at the time the game is started xpadder does not reply. It is necessary to carry out the above procedure to return to work.
ps. again added the neo geo file because I realized procedures using this system.
Yes. I updated my Windows 10 for the birthday version. I just take the test emulators out of Gamex. The result was the same. The Xpadder does not work when it is simply open and its window is minimized. You must click on the Xpadder window, maximize it, and only then the Xpadder starts to work.
So the problem can only be updating windows right !?
Very annoying that. When you fix one thing to another break.
Does this have repair? Without downgrading the Windows?
ps.I took the test again. If only one control is connected Xpadder works. But if more than one control is connected not.
MS made some updates to the way it handles the controllers to allow better compatibility with the XBOne controllers.Likely this is going to impact 3rd party apps and controllers unless the authors of those apps release a new version.
I know my question has nothing to do with this forum , but since this topic was open I ask. The Xpadder site has no place for registration. But only Login. Does anyone have any idea where to register to be able to log in later ?
ps. I sent a message a few days asking that the owner of the site but so far he did not answer.
I thought after my warning XPADDER program would be fixed. But today it was not. I warned the developer of the program and he simply ignored me. Currently Xpadder only works when only one control is connected. If two controls are on, even if we do not use the second control, the xpadder program does not work. The two controls in this case do not work.
In these cases I have to maximize the window of the Xpadder program, and only then will the controls be recognized.
The issue is that I use the xpadder program along with the gameex, so staying having to maximize the xpadder tab is really annoying.
The whole problem started after the Windows 10 update.
Another question: Until today I can not log in the forum of the site Xpadder. I paid for the program and thought I might have a bit of the attention of the developer to solve this problem. Apparently i was wrong.
If anyone here has contact with the Xpadder developer please ask him to take a look at this problem, because he does not listen to me.
Nobody I know here has any special contact or influence with the Xpadder author. If you are not able to get a response from him, you may wish to try other similar programs, such as x360ce, AntiMicro or some others suggested here.
