So, I recently started playing the old classic Grim Fandango (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grim_Fandango) and after playing about an hour into the game I decided there is no way in hell I can play through the entire game with it's terrible keyboard controls.
The game does have an option for a gamepad/controller, and I've tried two and can not get them to work at all. I've tried a PS2 controller connected via a USB adapter, and a Logitech Dual Action controller. When I go to configure them in the control panel, both work fine. All the settings are enabled for a gamepad on the in-game menu.
I've googled around a bunch, and checked the LucasArts forum and found accounts of people using Logitech controllers like mine, so I know it must work somehow. I've also found a few reports of people failing with a PS2 controller, so that one probably doesn't work (though I'd prefer it.)
Any help would be awesome, because I do like the game - just hate the keyboard controls. And yes, I have read about how an Xbox controller is configured for this game out of the box - and no, I will not buy one of the old giant-brick sized xbox controllers to play a single game (especially since I hate xboxes, and everything about them.)
Any help is appreciated dudes.
