Bought the Rockstar Collection?

rubberduck · 7 Jan 2008 at 01:09

Decided to bite the bullet and snag the rockstar collection off Steam... After messing around for ages trying to get my xbox 360 controller to work with GTA III I stubled upon a utility called Xpadder

http://xpadder.com/

All I can say is WOW... What a wonderful piece of freeware this is! Within a few minutes I had my triggers mapped to act as digital accelerators and my second analogue stick emulating an inverted mouse so I could look around properly.

If you've bought the Rockstar collection and wish to use a pad i can't recommend Xpadder highly enough. I realise this has probably been posted before but thought it was worth it for those who do not know about it.

I remember seeing some youtube video of a guy hooking up his Wii remote to WoW, was pretty awful to use it and you're without a keyboard lol

Just downloaded this to give it ago. But I can't get it working at all. Picks up my controller fine, and I can map the buttons in Xpadder, but in game it still won't pick up the right stick.

Would it possible to upload your config? Also does it work for Vice City and San Andreas?

Will be happy to post my config... I just need to tidy it up a little tonight. What I think you need to do is change the settings of the right analogue stick in xpadder and tell it to emulate a mouse... I think you right click on it and you should get a load of options (sorry I'm at work so can't be more specific). Haven't tried it with VC and SA but it sould work absolutely fine.
