Hey guys whats up? I recently grabbed a copy of Area 51 for my PC, looks good, runs perfectly. I am trying to get my PS2 controller to work for it, but it won't let me use it. I have a USB converter, I use it for MUGEN and N64 games, works perfect! I'm not surprised that it doesn't work for Area 51, but is there some type of patch or anything that MIGHT allow my USB converter/PS2 controller to work on it? Or am I stuck with a mouse and keyboard? The closest I can get is the "UserInputConfig" (example listed below). I'm pretty sure that it can work, but owuld take loads of tweaking with it, anyone got any suggestions? or know how to solve this? If so the help will be highly appreaciated! Thanks, if anyone has any questions please ask.

UserInputConfig:
Move_Forward = "W";
Move_Backward = "S";
Strafe_Left = "A";
Strafe_Right = "D";
Jump = "SPACE";
Lean_Left = "Q";
Lean_Right = "E";
Crouch = "LCONTROL";
Walk = "LSHIFT";

All the USB converters do is turn it into a joystick/gamepad on Windows. So if the game doesn't support joysticks then no.

Yeah I am used to using the PS2 controller, I am a huge fan of any FPS online gaming, I love the competition. I tried playing CS a while back, but I had no mouse, it was hard. I am just now getting used to the mouse with keyboard, great stuff. Thanks for the help.
