    I'm new to pc games , but im sick and tired of a lot of them asking me to use my keyboard all the time. Just like a console i just wanna sit back, and play my game with the joystick, or controller. Is there any software out there i can use, to allow my games that do make me do this, run off of my controller instead...any help would be appreciated...

    can you bind some of your gamepad buttons to keys on the keyboard?

    the game makers don't really support gamepads for pc. it's really annoying. the most you can do is assign the buttons yourself within the game. they don't even have any proper if any analogue support. in ut2004 the second analogue stick barely moves up, down, left, right and i can't find anyway of speeding it up. i know how to do it on mouse. you just look for mouse sensitivity but i can't find anything similar for joypad. also it doesn't use the real range. if anyone finds out how to adjust analogue stick sensitivity for unreal tournament 2004 or any other game just let me know

    download an application called xpadder it will recognize your usb gamepad and allow you to bind keyboard keys and mouse movements to gamepad you will have to move the buttons to right place to make it look like your game pad config

    download from http://xpadder.com/download.htmlthe green arrow on left is link

    choose the image of your controller *optional* http://xpadder.com/controllers.html

    I have a Playstation 2 USB game controller to allow me to use my old PS2 pads on my PC. So far its been compatible with 95% of games that have controller support.

    I tried using xpadder to configure my foxgunn controller with dmc 4. However since Dante has loads of buttons some commands are being duplicated like the dpad to change styles is interfering with the left stick for control of Dante. Basically when using the left stick for movement the style is also changing. Someone know how to map using xpadder for this game and care to share how to?
