Topic: Re: The Godfather: The Game (PC) -- UPDATE: Control Pad WORKS NOW!

I own a nice Logitech Wingman GamePad USB.



Unfortunately, The Godfather: The Game (PC) doesn't support it.

So, I found this nice little thread on how to try to get unsupported controllers working in The Godfather game, by messing w/ the game's default.INI file:
http://forum.eagames.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=21104

So, how would I go about writing it up to get it going in the actual game???

Here's what someone wrote to add into the default.INI file for The Godfather, in order to get a WingMan Cordless going for that game.

My Wingman's similar, so -- what will I change in the code to try & get the pad going on my PC???

The exact same thing? I don't know but I'm pretty sure I used to have a problem that would make the pc think one pad was another (my hammerhead ran into some problems).  I'll see if I can find it....but I don't know what it was called or where I got it.

The only thing I can think of try removing the "Cordless" from the ini file. Make sure you Gamepad settings (in Control panel) are reading your pad correctly (which it probably is anyway).

Other than that you might be able to find a mapper app to map the keyboard commands to your controller.

I did try that -- no dice. This is the ONLY game that supports a gamepad, in which my gamepad is not supported in their list, and my gamepad won't work.

I been playing it w/out the pad. I'm used to the controls -- namely, for driving would be the issue. The KB/mouse controls are fine -- even for driving.

Okay; someone made a post here on how to get a Logitech Wingman RumblePad USB going. I tried it, adding a whole bunch of lines to the Default.INI at the end of the file. It works!

OK I got my Logitech Wingman RumblePad working by adding these lines to the Default.config

Code:
;Logitech WingMan RumblePad USB 9 buttons, 1 POV, 5 Axes

Did the trick for me! Wo0t!!!
