Found a Solution to the Controller Problem

[Ayiz]

Ok i found this on a site called Socceraccess.com i give them the credit but here it is the solution you've all been searching for :

Open the regedit (Start->run->"regedit+<return>")

Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Open System
Open ControlSet001 (there could be more than one set of these... 002, 003)
Open Control
Open MediaProperties
Open PrivateProperties
Open Joystick
Open OEM
Now you find (at least one) possible a lot of entries like VID_0428&PID_4001 (and more)...
Open each one and look on the right side for a Keyname "OEMName"
One of the entries has the Name of YOUR gamepad!

when you find the entry for your pad modify the "OEMName" Key to read "Logitech DualAction USB" which is a pad supported by fifa2004 reboot and away you go.

nb I had entries in both ControlSet002 and ControlSet003 your setup maybe slightly different.

REMEMBER Editing the registry is a risky business don't come crying to me if you screw-up your windows remember to make backups if your unsure

Anyhow now my i can change the buttons on my pad to whatever i choose what a relief

good luck all and happy playing

c this seams to be the ONLY solution, but i dont wanna edit my controllers reg options cos i dont want my right analogue being fecked up 4 otha games cos it works fine with my other games.

good point well made i hadn't thought of that however as Fifa is the only game i play with a pad it makes no odds to me anyways it works fine as a temp solution until the Controller Coach is released which hopefully wont be long as i have a playstation 2 USB converter on the way

Excellent

And well done

this is by far the easiest way I have found to make pads work

BUT

I have one small questions


How do you now put swerve on the ball on a free kick, Or in otherwords how do you program a button to be equivelent to the shift button

I have cheap "game" joypad, which has 11 buttons, but 3 of them are replicas, so in truth it is an 8 button pad.


Does anybody knwo how to do the shift thing please, As I seem to be gettign loads of free kicks jut saoutside the box, but wothout swerve, they are just going to waiste.

Thanks
