Hello new goger!

I can't really help you with your question, I just wanted to say hi. :D

I don't use joysticks, but I do use a gaming-keypad(Razer Nostromo) with a mouse. It's really good, but not so much for sport type games tho.

Hopefully someone else could help you.

All the best

Hello and welcome to the forums! We hope you enjoy your stay here. :)

You can try asking in game specific forum, in this case:

Good luck!

Program named x360ce can enforce gamepad to work with any game.

Hey, what's with the Moderator tag under your avatar? Congrats, I guess! :D

It might be a good thing for the forums if GOG's making moderators from trusted members.

Hi.

For the PS3 controller to work, you can use a program, like already recomended x360ce (xbox 360 gamepad emulator) or a keymapper like Joytokey (link the gamepad keys to keyboard buttons).
I believe Sensible Soccer run on DOSBox. To run with a joystick, check the DOSBox website wich have the online manual.

I bought a 8bitdo sn30 pro+ and is the better all round gamepad I ever used. The only complain for me, is the supplied USB cable is kinda short. Probably used it for 200+ hours and counting.

thanks to all!

@Daniele1982: Welcome. There is real gold in the game-specific forums. Both with people who had already a similar question or people ready to help.
