Are Playstation joypads ok to use in Blitz? I've got loads of joypads (orginal DualShock 1 pads), I want to use (eventually) for a multiplayer game. I've got adapters to plug them into the PC, though the driver software may be a a bit out of date now. Someone helped me get them working in the very early PC version of Blitz, but that was quite a while ago, and I no longer have that computer (or my old programs!), and I can't remember what I did. I basically want access to all functions (though I'm not that bothered about the vibration function), especially both analogue sticks , and all other buttons including L3 and R3 (when you push the sticks in). Thank you very much for any help.
