I'm hoping to use Blitz3D to knock up a quickish concept demo for a possible Ps3 concept. Therefore, I need to be able to read a Ps3-style pad such as this lad:

Can B3D handle one of these (ie reading both analogue sticks and the d-pad correctly)? If not, would I be likely to have more luck with a wired 360 pad?

Thanks for any advice- if I get going on this I may well be back a bit :P
