- Copy the contents of the “xbox360_game_controller” folder from the “xbox360” directory on your computer to the “~/.local/share/xbox360/” directory on your laptop.
- Launch Microsoft Windows Explorer and browse to the ~/.local/share/xbox360/" directory where you copied the “xbox360_game_controller” folder.
- Double-click on the “xbox360_game_controller” file and it will start up Microsoft Windows Game Controller Manager. This program will create two folders in your ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Corporation/Windows/* directories: one called “Xbox360Controller” and one called “Xbox360GameController”.
