FIFA 09 demo - game pad not working solution

[bloodline76]

I have been having some trouble with my gamepad on fifa 09 demo and have found a solution.

This issue was not letting me map the buttons and was just giving an empty for the button. Although i have not tested I think this should work on most gamepads. It did on my logic3 rumble pad.

The file that commands these is located in:

Program files\fifa 09\data\input\devdat.dat

Open with a notepad and add the following line at the end before ENDOFFILE

If you go to your control panel and see what your controller is called, mine was something like USB Controllers or something like that. Rename the "Name of controller in control panel" to your gamepad and all should be good!

Thanks for this as I have exactly the same problem but it doesn't seem to work for me. I still can't assign some moves (like 'through ball') to any game pad button as it still shows "Empty". I am using PS2 controllers with a USB adaptor which shows up in Game Controllers as 'Dual PSX-USB Adaptor'

This worked fine in Fifa08.

Same. Cant get it working at all.

Did you amend the devdat folder in the my documents folder? Could try that as well.

Try that and see if it works, if not I think there is a reg setting that you can alter but I will have to look up the path.

This fixed the problem for me.

Replace the one in Fifa09/Data/Input (copy your old one)
This works for me but ymmv.
