For pure force feedback tuning, nothing beats Vibmod 3.1.4.1 – it’s the “golden build.” X360ce Vibmod 3.1.4.1.zip

(x360ce), a tool that allows non-Xbox gamepads to function in games that only support XInput (the standard for Xbox 360 controllers) Newer versions of x360ce use a "Virtual Gamepad"
Many gamers prefer the "Vibmod" 3.1.4.1 build for older titles like GTA IV , Mafia II , or Blur . Newer versions of x360ce use a "Virtual Gamepad" driver approach which can sometimes be overkill for simple button remapping. The 3.1.4.1 zip is a "drop-in" solution that is often more compatible with titles released between 2008 and 2015. Conclusion
Launch your game. If vibration works, you’re done. If not, see the troubleshooting section below.
Modern XInput implementations are simple—mostly just rumble. However, older DirectInput controllers often had complex force feedback capabilities (spring forces, dampening, constant forces). Vibmod 3.1.4.1 was widely considered the "gold standard" for mapping these complex forces. For users playing racing simulators like Colin McRae: DiRT or combat games like Batman: Arkham Asylum , Vibmod offered a tactile experience that other wrappers simply couldn't replicate.
