Run this program from the same directory as the game executable. XInput library files exist with several different names and some games require a change in its name. Known names:

xinput1_4.dll (Windows 8 / metro apps only)
xinput1_3.dll
xinput1_2.dll
xinput1_1.dll
xinput9_1_0.dll

Game Database (GDB) and Configuration (INI) files can be copied to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%X360CE on NT6 (Vista/7/8) or %ALLUSERSPROFILE%Application DataX360CE on NT5.1 (XP), or be left in the same directory as the game's executable (.EXE)

Note:

In most cases games based on the Source engine have the DLL placed inside the /Bin/ sub folder, as it is loaded by inputsystem.dll instead of the game executable.
The DLL is not currently fully supported by the App, recent versions incorporate HookMasks and fully remove HookModes, and requires placing Version=1 under [options] in the x360ce.ini to quieten a warning about incorrect version.

The controller profile loaded may match the name of the controller but not actually be for the controller you own - in this case you might see button numbers or axes mapped that do not appear in the Joy.cpl test page.
The controller profile might have PassThrough set. A growing number of profiles have been uploaded that do this, I have no idea why as it disables x360ce and just bloats the list of available profiles.
