When a game is launched, it looks for specific XInput DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) to communicate with an Xbox controller. If you are using a non-XInput controller, the game simply doesn't "see" it. X360ce intercepts these calls, tricking the game into thinking your generic controller is actually an official Xbox 360 pad.
