Hi, I just installed FF6 in Windows 10 64bit , and got problem in setting the controller to USB Joystic which is working for FF7 well;
Game Settings of FF6
(http://i63.tinypic.com/2jb658w.jpg)
In the picture there's "Devices" dropdown menu, and showed only "keyboard" , and I could not change it to USB Joystick that is shown "effective" in "Device and Printer".
Oh I don't like to think the gamepad IS INCOMPATIBLE with FF6 though it is working for FF7.
Need help.

If your gamepad does not support xinput, you may need to use an xinput wrapper like x360ce. More and more newer games are incompatible with directinput-only controllers, and while I can't confirm this is the case here, it seems likely.

Tnank you Covarr.
I tried x360ce 32bit (cause FF6 is 32bit game) to set the gamepad to work;
x360ce 32bit source is from;
https://github.com/x360ce/x360ce
The game FF6 seemed to require xinput1_4.dll instead of xinput1_3.dll which is installed normally in x360ce. So I changed the dll name to xinput1_4.dll and selected "32bit ver1.4", re-launched x360ce and clicked "start FF6" from x360ce.
But had no luck, when I pushed X button the game made abnormal termination going back to "SQUARE ENIX" logo screen.
Settings in x360ce;

Any suggestion for the setting ?

TBH I'm not very experienced with x360ce. I use something called Pinnacle Game Profiler instead, but I don't usually recommend it because it costs $20 and most people don't wanna spend that.
However, I have had another idea that I *do* know how to use: JoyToKey (http://joytokey.net/en/). It is shareware for $7 but you can use it free without a license and it will work. You can set your controller to act like a keyboard and match the keyboard settings in FF6.

Thank you again.
I finally figured out that I DO NEED XINPUT GAMEPAD such as Logitech F310 along with the xinput wrapper x360ce 32bit.
I got the Logitech F310, launched x360ce inserting F310 to USB, then x360ce recognized F310 with xinput1_3.dll.
So far so good.
OK I tried to launch FF6 from x360ce.
Bingo !! FF6 now recognize the gamepad Logitech F310 with x360ce staying on.
My problem finally solved.
