GRiD demo- How to use PS2 controller-adapter with it?

How do I use a PS2 controller connected to my PC with Grid demo?

Go into controls and remap everything.

Remember to press whatever key it is to start customising, ctrl I think.

Yeah but nothing happens when I press buttons on the ps2 pad

You must hit the control key on keyboard then map using arrows and enter after enter press a pad button if not change the registry key oem name to rumblepad2 or almost any other pad name

Try to save profile after making the changes?

Is it working in Windows?

Go to Control Panel » Game Controllers.

I ended up giving up with my PS2 pad, I could drive in the game fine, but I couldn't navigate the menus with the pad.

Yeah, stupid developers not allowing you to remap your own menu controls... yet they still say the game is NOT a port :confused:

Only the 360 pad is officially supported on the PC for games.

PS2 controller is not a PC controller & would make it more of a port if it did.

You have no idea how incorrect that statement is do you?

What do you think the PC version would be a port of? Hardly the PS3 version is it?

Also, the code to make a controller work on the 360 also works on the PC as it uses the same API.

Why not? Both the PS3 and 360 are alien architectures to the PC. It isn't like the last Xbox which shared an x86 CPU with PCs.

Try a program called Xpadder - you can remap any button on your controller to any key on the keyboard, and will allow you to navigate menus with a PS2 pad

In fact its your statement that i was replying to that is all wrong as your saying that because it does not have ps2 controller support it is a console port, but if it had ps2 controller support it would not be a port.
But the first half could have been sarcasm.

I was implying there is NO REASON WHATSOEVER other than lazy developing why gamepads OTHER than the 360 ones cannot be configured to work in the menus.

Quite right.

I managed to set my ps2 contrller up with grid using a adapter? works fine. I use a 360 controller now through because it's got analogue throttle.
You have remebered to turn the ps2 controller on with the button in the middle? just keep trying it does work.
