A13 ICS tablet using xbox360 controller

Hi, I`ve had a really cheap single core A13 based android Busbi (BUSTAB7R) tablet (ICS 4.04) for a few months and only yesterday was able to make it work with a wired xbox360 controller. It was almost impossible to find the exact file needed which was not included, so I thought I`d share with whoever still might need it. Btw if you want to use a different controller you`ll need different files. I found the file inside a zipped up rom being developed at xda developers forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2343531which leads to the rom file cm_a13_20130703.zip at this address https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B240tVoN5YQPS3JtX2FDb1NjbzQ&usp=sharing After downloading and unzipping the rom (I did that on my main computer as it was easier, sorry about having to unzip but if I was downloading I know the original place is where I`d want to get it), copy /system/lib/modules/xbox.ko to your tablet. I put mine into /sdcard/download/ as it doesn`t seem to matter where it goes. ES file explorer is a good free tool for moving files around or between tablet and computer (In ES file explorer go to LAN, click search and it look for computers on your network).Type the following into a terminal emulator to switch on the controller each time Code:
su
insmod /sdcard/download/xpad.ko
dmesg
 (plug in the xbox360 controller)
dmesg
exit
exit
You don`t need to type the dmesg commands unless you want to see what they say.Hopefully this will help someone get theirs working too. (Sorry if this is hard to read it keeps changing my formatting but I fixed the most important parts).
