I think the world is trying to stop me form playing.. Can't for the love of me get the receiver to sync with the pad .. In fact my comp wont even recognize it even when i install and update the drivers. FML

I think it's just us against the world then mate.

I recommend a PS3 controller with a mini USB cable and installing motioninjoy since I couldn't work around Xbox 360 controllers in the way I see from that post there.

I think what I'll do is get my old trusty GAME pad ( Basically a PS2 pad ) for like £10 .. fuck it! Used that for years until my wee nephew fucked it haha I will be back .. I'm determined now haha

I haven't tried this idea yet, but I think motioninjoy supports PS2 controllers too. I'm sure you got this either way.

Smash that cross button like PSO mixes well with Playstation.

To be honest the xbox pad was rather dodgy at first .. Didn't ever feel right, PS3/2 pads all ways did ! What about a Gamecube controller ? You can get a USB adapter for it I'm sure ( I was gonna buy a N64 controller for my emulators )

I damn well want GameCube controllers to work on PC, but we all know Nintendo isn't as technologically savvy like Sony and Microsoft.

I'm still pissed that my ds lite, the one with gba game cartridge slot, has a very old sense of wifi that made me setup a special network for just that at one time. Curse Nintendo!

Get this one dumpling http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPEEDLINK-Xeox-Pro-Analog-USB-PC-Gamepad-Black-SL-6556-BK-/111289013854?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item19e957965e, been using it the last 6 months flawlessly, even has a switch on the back to flick between Xinput and Directinput so it is compatible with anything out there.

I'll buy that now dude, Still dunno what the feck Xinput and Directinput mean .. wireless and wired ?

Googled all that tech slobber, Bought the pad any ways dude, Cheers! Also bought Metro Last Light haha You can use that pad for the xbox as well surely ? Looks pretty cool i have to admit.
