XBStart Version 2.1 Beta 5 released (link in the 1st post)

• improved loading time when Windows is set to boot to Start Screen
  
• bugfixes
  

Wow man, thanks for the major update, specially for the loading time. Seriously this app should be built into windows as it makes the controller so much useful.

 

I just want to point out one bug which is the scaling issue when windows is set at 125%. The help screen is not fully visible and some buttons and text are missing as shown in the below screenshot:

 

 

Also if you can change the taskbar icon to a higher definition one as its a little pixelated

 

 

Just some cosmetic changes, otherwise its a wonderful app. I am recommending all my friends to get it.

Thanks for the report. I'l try to fix that soon, but in the meantime you have to disable dpi scaling in xbstart.exe properties

I'm sorry, but I don't own Chat Pad and I do not write drivers.

No problem, it's very too bad Microsoft don't create a chat pad's driver for Windows...

 

Thank you for your quick answer,

Great!, I love this program, I only need to turn on the computer with the controller, could be achieved with this app?

It cannot be done with the wireless receiver which I only have. I'm not sure about the wired one. Anyway, any usb wake up event is controlled by the bios, not the software.

Can you add an option to check the battery status? Like when its charging or in low power.

Implementing that feature is not a big deal, but first I need to know what is the advandage of it over the standard 4 led blinking when the battery is low.

Cool. I'll be downloading trying this out later this week. Also, is there any way to automatically activate mouse when application X is opened? Kinda like autoprofiles for xpadder.

Good idea, will think about implementing a more advanced profiles in the future versions.

Is there any way to disable the ALT + F4 hotkey on the controller? It's killed a few games for me.

Do those games have a native controller support? If so just remove that app from the app list in the XBStart settings. Or do not press Y.
