Game Pads in THPS3 and other Games...

Howdy peeps,

Whilst Im buggering about, can I ask you a quezzy?

Ive just installed GTA3 and TonyHawks3 on winxp pro sp1. I have a cheap (well I got it cheap) InterAct 'Propad 8 Digital' game pad with a direction pad and 6 buttons.....

Its USB and installed automatic for me as soon as I put it in the usb slot. I have gone to control panel and checked it works on the trial thing (ie the cursor moves and the buttons respond on the screen).

I run THPS3 after setting the 'options' for the gamepad, and doubly check once in THPS3 game options that the device is a gamepad - but its always a keyboard!. Anyway the buttons work, but I get no direction. Ive tried to setting the 'options' for the buttons and what they do, but I get no response from thr gamepad device - yet I know its working.....

Any ideas how to get going on this thing?.

-----------------

I got GTA3, and I dont get any text on the game, its just a yellow box where the text should be.......the rest of the graphics is spot on...any ideas here?


Thanks,

Sirius.

Dunno about the gamepad question but for GTA3 if youre running on XP there are 2 updates needed for XP itself in order to get rid of the text problem..

Get it here :

youll also need the latest drivers for your vid card

Cheers Myk! Im downloading now

Ive sussed the gamepad!. dunno what the hell I did, but its working now .

I was a star at THPS2 - I even completed the bugger which makes a change for me . Its been a year or two since I last played THPS, Im finding it all a bit hard to manouvre again lol.

Ive never played GTA in any form , so it will be intresting to see what its like.


Thanks again Myk bud.

Sirius.

With THPS3 you have to set it to joypad in the box that pops up before you run the game
