I was wondering if these games support modern controller inputs or if there is a fix for that, I'm gonna get these so that I could get my in-law (who likes console games, especially Twisted metal and Racing games) introduced to PC gaming and stuff

I just bought it and man this looks like shit...and no my xbox controller is not working and even if...there are around 40 inputs. so if you constantly must use the keyboard.
oh, and it only started once after the launch. After existing the game i can't restart it.
Waste of money.

Hi. I have only played this game with Windows XP, so that is all I know about if it makes a difference (something I would not know). I use a dual boot setup (or whatever) so I can play old games with the real WinXP instead of using the compatibility modes (or whatever) on the newer OS. Just so you know what I am playing this on in case it matters.

Anyway, I only have the old Gold Edition of Interstate '76, not the GOG version. I use Zeus nGlide, which makes a picture that looks best to me among wrappers, and offers high screen resolution.

My version of I-76 includes support for two joysticks in addition to the mouse and keyboard. I play this game using the mouse, keyboard, Logitech G-27 (steering wheel, shifter, and pedals - it is all recognized by OS and game as one controller), and a Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D Pro joystick, which has many programmable buttons, allowing me to steer with one hand and press commands on the joystick without looking, which seems more convenient to me than using the buttons on the G-27's shifter.

For me, keystrokes, etc. programmed to buttons on the USB game controllers are recognized as those keystrokes, etc. in the I-76 game. And the game controller buttons, when not programmed, are recognized by the game, which allows the game commands to be remapped to game controller buttons per button number.

Sorry if I just wrote too much of what you already know and stuff you did not ask. That is what I am able to do with the Gold version of this game, though. Good luck.

[EDIT] I forgot to make sure to mention that I am using the pedals of the G-27 for the accelerator and brakes in the game. That and the steering wheel control input are proportionate to the physical input. It works really well to control the cars. It is not just steer right or left or not at all, It is gradient or whatever (sorry, I do not know words for it). You can turn as little or as sharp as you want. Same with the G-27 pedals. It is not just all gas or no gas. You can speed up and slow down according to how far the pedal is depressed. Pretty cool really. Nice simulator for such an old game.

My Logitech Rumblepad works great but I actually gave it up for the keyboard after a while. When you have four different gun mounts, plus oil slick, plus mines it's just easier to go directly to them using the number keys as opposed to switching from one to another.

I play the game with a DualShock2-Controller (PlayStation 2) and USB-Adaptor, in conjunction with a freewaretool called Joy2Key.

Ingame, i set the game up as i would play with the Keyboard and then use Joy2Key to assign the Keyboard Buttons to my Gamepad. Since I'76 has a lot of commands, this is what i thought up:

R2=Accelerate
L2=Break
L1=Handbreak
R1=Fire Weapon

Left/Right Analogstick= Steering
Press Left Analogstick=switch to binoculars (only in F1-Perspektive)

Right Analogstik= Look (Keyboar Arrow Keys)
Press Right Analogstik= Switch between F1 and F2 (a feature from Joy2Key)

Triangle (Top Face Button)= next enemy target
Circle Button (right Face Button)= Activate Special 1 (usually nitros)
Square Btton (left Face Button)= cycle through weapons
X-Button (lower Face-Button)= Activate Dropper

digital up= Link Weapons
digital left= Toggle Reverse
digital down= Poem
digital right=Mission Notes

Select=Map
Start= Escape

It took some tries until i came up with this, but now, it's my preferred method of playing this game. And as you can see, there are still buttons i could change.

What did you program your g27 controller to? Up/down? I can't get mine to work at all in the game
