Hi Thomas, Thanks for the reply. I wasn't aware of programs like Joy2Key, sounds interesting though and I think I might look into getting a game pad and giving it ago.
Thanks for the info.

If the game in question does not support a joystick or a game pad then ¿you can't just go buy a Microsoft XBox controller and expect it to work with the game out of the box. You would have to download a third-party tool called Joy2key which allows you to map various keyboard commands to joysticks, game pads, and so forth. So it is possible to play games even without joystick support with a joystick or a game pad if you use something like Joy2key, but you are also limited in some ways such as lack of force feedback support or not being able to map all actions to the controller. However, basically if you wanted to do it you could use a Microsofgt controller with any audio game. Obviously, games that have joystick and game pad support should work with it out of the box without Joy2key etc. Cheers!
