Hi,

I am trying out PlayOnMac to play Spelunky on my Macbook using Steam. I've tried POM 4.2.10 and 4.2.11 and I can install both Steam and Spelunky. However, I need to use x360ce in order to make use of gamepads, as the only gamepad supported in Spelunky is the 360 controller.

x360ce requires several things, all of which are available except .NET 4.6. I have read online that there are some ways to install .NET 4.6 in wine, but cannot find any way to do so in PlayOnMac. I see references to a dotnet46 script/recipe/component, but don't see it in POM's list of components in either 4.2.10 or 4.2.11.

I'm open to using a beta version if someone could provide me with a link, or otherwise suggest how I can get x360ce working.

Thanks!

I've been trying to get x360ce to work as well - tried installing .NET versions if anyone out there can help we'd appreciate it :)

ok i've read on the PLAYONLINUX you do this :-

 

OK, I finally got it to work tonight!

I think you need .NET 3.5 .NET4.0 and .NET4.5 installed.

I think you also need directx9, vcrun2010 and vcrun3013 installed.

Use the standard xpad with the xbox360 controller., don't worry about xboxdrv. It'll probably work with xboxdrv but I had success with xpad so I can't tell if that's an issue or not yet. Make sure that works first. Use jstest-gtk to check. 

Grab the 32 or 64 bit xbox360ce.exe file from here depending on your container type. I stuck with 32 bit. Put the exe in a new folder in the c drive.

Now in PLayOnLinux go to the Steam bottle configuration and under Miscellaneous select Run a .exe file in this virtual drive.

Find the x360ce.exe and run it. When it pops up it'll complain about no xinput1_3.dll. Just click on create to create the file. Then it'll install a couple of xbox controller drivers. Once that is done you can auto fill the controller in the panel and you should see alll the appropriate controlls working. Once you're happy with it hit save and close the panel.

Now just copy the 3 files into your rocket league folder (Binaries/Win32) and it should work!

Let me know if you have no luck and I'll do a full tutorial.

 

 

I'm going to give this a try...

Nope it just doesn't want to install .net 4.0 everything is fine up to 4.0 which is annoying....I work in IT as well so i even tried installing it via the misc tab still no joy...

I'm trying to do the exact same thing, I think the problem is the .net 3.0 framework donwload link is now broken. See https://www.playonlinux.com/en/issue-5413.html

This can be overcome by manually downloading the dotnet30.exe and placing it into ~/.PlayOnLinux/ressources/dotnet30

But now I'm stuck, I'm very new to this and cant find this folder for the life of me.  Maybe someone knows how to access this directory in the Mac container?
