And thats it, now your 360 controller is working on Direct Input, the Xbox ONE Controller is not compatible with Direct Input and it wont work with this guide.
Most games wont reconize your controller as a 360 Controller and pick it right away, you might even have to emulate them with XInputTest or something like that, i have setting for that too if you want them.
Advantages of DirectInput are simple, its much more precise as it works with the direct values rather than the aproximated values XInput uses, wich is not that big of an advantage as most games dont require you to be precise, offcourse not they are using a controller.
Good luck.
