I bought a Gravis gamepad pro yesterday and I was wondering... can i use it on epsxe? If yes, how? (I wasnt sure if i should have put this in hardware forum or here)

yea it'll work. Its the one that looks like the playstaioin ones right? All you need to do is just install the driver for your gravis gamepad and then you are all set. Just set the button assignment in the epsxe.
[EDIT] go here http://gravis.com/support/sup_1037.html if you need the drivers. [EDIT]

what I like about the gppro is that it even has the select/start buttons, which is kinda cool IMO.

what I don't like about the GPpro is that the unified direction pad is really inaccurate compared to the 4 individual button D-pad of a real PSX controller. Is it just me or does everyone feel that way?

you said it adair! Look at this thread I started on another board:

other than that, it's still cool, and you can get used to it.

Haha,
great minds think alike. I have a regular gravis gamepad also, but I can't deal with its lack of buttons for PSX games. At some point I got a gameport GPpro and used it for a while till I got frustrated with it. You'd think I would've learned my lesson, but somehow I decided to get the USB GPpro. Well it is a little better, but I think I'm gonna get a PSX-USB converter soon.

My biggest frustration with the GPpro D-pad was trying to stick to a wall in MGS and all of a sudden I would be inching along the wall and accidently pop out from a corner where a guard would spot me and all hell would break loose.

Same here.... I exchanged it for an old SideWinder gamepad (yeah, it's a M$ product, but it's pretty good) as soon as I realized that I couldn't pull of any moves consistently in any fighting games.

I use an MS Sidewinder gamepad - and I have to admit it's actually a decent controller. It seems to work really well with most game software, including ePSXe.

yea the d pad ain't that great for fighting game as i found out with sf a3 and tekken 3 and all the other fighting games that I have. However here is one suggestion to the epsxe developers. Maybe they can implement the dead zone effect like the ones used in project64. Any thought on this?
