Having problem with my Xbox 360 Controller

[NuclearNinja118]

My xbox 360 controller usually works but lately when I try to select it under "configure controller plugin", it says "Directinput: failure to initialize device Error code: 80070005". I don't really know what this means, but I am looking for some help. Btw, I have already setup and save all of my controls so it is just a problem with choosing my 360 controller

with Xbox 360 controllers I think you believe you have to check Xinput....

I guess just restarting my computer helped because now it is working fine again.

It still won't respond when Xinput is ticked off with both Plugged also selected as well as not deselected. When I was doing it before through just the Plugged option and I clicked Use I got an error which read "no mempak specified; please configure plugin". However, I will note that it responds to the buttons I set. It didn't work so I looked everywhere and moved on to trying Xinput and it also did not work.

I should mention the ROM hack works fine seeing as it works well with M+KB, but I'd just rather use a controller. It is a wired Xbox 360 which is compatible with all games on Steam, just to provide some added information.

Thanks to everyone who works on this project it is a very useful emulator and any help is appreciated.
