I've tried googling it.
I've tried waiting weeks, months years and googling again and again and googling different combinations of words and tried every stupid idea suggested by idiots who have no clue on what the problem actually is and hope that a similar solution that worked for them in the past has the same problem; and doesn't.
My GamePad, which worked perfectly fine with Windows XP cannot seem to function with Windows 7.
I don't know it's brand so I can't find drivers or install some optional windows driver. Uninstalling and restarting doesn't work. (In fact, my computer, if I do this and keep it plugged in and not boot-up at all.)
It lets me plug in my PS2 controller into it. The PS2 controller works fine also. I even had a brand new one (which works in my old computer XP and PS2 like all the rest).
I HATE the game-pads available today with their one-button D-pad Classic-Sega-Style and Xbox/Microsoft styled controllers. (I even bought a PS3 over an Xbox because of the controller.)
Is there some kind of hack or product that exists that will actually work for me? I can't play my emulator on a friggin' keyboard. It's just ridiculous and I'm tired of not working on my rom hack because of this one tiny significant detail. I probably should have asked here sooner.
I even tried this PS3-USB program and it seemed to work for a while then suddenly didn't and never did again. (And goodness, there's a bunch of old files and start-up junk on my computer despite being uninstalled, pre-reformatting.)
Anyone else have this kind of problem too?
We have EVEN MORE themes now, but some old ones are gone...
