How do I make Portal (steam) work with X360CE?

I ran the 32-bit version of x360ce.exe in both C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Portal
and C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Portal\bin
. It created the xinput1_3.dll file in both directories. I fiddled with the permissions of the DLL in the bin directory to prevent it from being overwritten by the game.
No matter what I do, Portal refuses to recognize the controller (though X360CE does).
The controller is a Logitech Rumblepad 2.
