Hey singe users ive found if you are having problems using joypad with singe (mine doesnt seem to recognize mine) there is a FREE to use program that works well to solve this its called joy to key , it lets you make directions on joypad or mouse be keyboard letters or numbers ie if A keyboard button was for LEFT on the game , you can make LEFT on your joypad=A button on keyboard and so on i hope this helps a few that have the same problem
