Game controllers will not work in any game

x-todd · January 18th, 2005, 00:37

hello all.
i hope i can get some help with this problem.
i go into the gamepad setup, and i can easily configure all my buttons and what not for my game controller (its a logitech rumblepad 2). all the buttons seem to work fine setting it up there.
but when i load up one of my games, none of the buttons work on the game pad.
i was searching around here and i have already tried hitting F5 to switch between analog vs digital mode, and neither mode seems to work at all. Then i tried my old gravis game pad pro.
same thing.

here is the kicker...
so im like hmmm...... lets just use the keyboard instead, so i set all the keys on the keyboard.
STILL nothing, and i still tried hitting F5 as well doing that.
its like there is something weird in the settings somewhere thats messing up any type of input from working.

any ideas???

what game are you trying to play?

have you tried using PSXeven and a pad plugin (harakiri is a great one)

i tried Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Castlevania Symphony of the night

i havent tried any other emulators or anything like that.
I had a hard enough time trying to find everything i needed for ePSXe..

i may look for antoher one and see what happens.
i just think its weird not being able to get that to work in games.
usually its just getting the game to work period.
and i can get those to work decently but no controller

???
Update your DirectX drivers and/or ensure that the controllers are properly calibrated in the Control Panel as in Windows.

ive already done all that

well, try PSXeven then. if you say "no ill only use ePSXe!!!!!" then you are limiting yourself from a possible solution. PSXeven is easy to set up, just pick up a pad plugin or two and try them out to see if you can get results.

Yes, be sure to get the above pad plugin to ensure your controllers have analog and rumble.
