Controller in GTA3?

[Yian]

My friend(alty127 in this forum) recently purchased a controller for PC inorder to play his... well, hockey games, without using keyboard and mouse. Later, though, he found that his controller doesn't work in GTA3 in his PC.

My question is, does the PC version GTA3 supports controller at all? If it does, I will get the brand of hie controller and the specs, and please help him to use it.

To answer your first question: Yes GTA 3 supports controllers. I personally use a Thurstmaster Firestorm Dual Power and last time I checked it also worked with my MS Sidewinder. The only issue (which they said was gonna be fixed) is that Rumble support is not also gonna work. I will see what I can find out when I get your friends specs. If he hasn't tried already tell him 2 see if his controller has new drivers and to upgrade GTA 3 to latest version (Only one upgrade available, I think).

Damn, yeah I tried controller in GTA3, but the aiming just isnt the
same without the mouse...driving the cars however is awesome!
Too bad you cant play using both.
