xxxHolic was referring to the fact that you have to enable the Analog Gamepad with Epsxe in order to have Rumble, i think you can do this by pressing F6. Though there's still a chance you Gamepad will not produce any Rumbling in Epsxe. It was one of the main Reasons why i switched from it to SSSPSX. If you're desperate to play it with Rumble though you can simply use pSX.
