Gamepad Recognition

[RW_66]

I've recently re-installed and am trying to run FF7 PC, but am having problems with iit reconizing and configuring my controller in game. I'm using XP SP3, and it is a USB PSX style controller with digital and analog modes. Any ideas on how to get it to configure and use my controller?

Is it showing up in your Game Controllers control panel?

Yes. As "USB Joystick".

should be no issue as long as the pad is recognised and calibrated in windows, you may need to set control type to custom and assign the buttons etc. inside the game.

I remember trying to use my PS3 controller and discovering the same problem.

Most likely, the reason it won't work with your controller is the number of buttons go too high (for example PS3 goes up to like button 17)  unfortunately FF7 can only recognize up to button 10 or so.

I found the problem: No device driver software for the gamepad. I did some searching and finally found some. installed them, and it works just fine now. Thanks for all the help. guys.
