Can't get to PM anyone... is this a default on this forum?
Members can't PM until they have 5 posts. This was an anti-spam measure.
Well I guess he'll probably just say for me to use xpadder or something
That really depends on several factors, such as what game and what controller you're using. The other day I recommended x360ce for someone trying to play FF6, but that was based on a hunch that the Steam version of FF6 does not support DirectInput. If you're using the converted version of FF7, it should absolutely have DirectInput support, so I would not make that recommendation for you.
I see you have two controllers, one PS2 and one Xbox 360. If they're both plugged in at once, I'm pretty sure FF7 will only use whichever one is set as the default in the control panel. If you click the "Advanced" button, it should let you choose a preferred controller. Choose the one you want FF7 to use.
Unfortunately, you may still have the problem of FF7 only recognizing the analog sticks. A legit PS2 controller in an adapter, with an "analog" button between the thumbsticks, may be able to get around this, but whether or not that works can vary by adapter; some adapters remap the directions to the D-Pad when analog is turned off, while others leave the D-Pad set as a POV hat at all times regardless.
