Joypad for PC San Andreas

Archived from groups: alt.games.grand-theft-auto (More info?)

I bought the game today and love it...

However I want to use one of my joypads (I have 2 set up on my PC)..

In the options it lets you choose between mouse and keys and
joypad...BUT it won't let me choose which joypad (I have 2 attached to
my PC) which seems rather stupid...right now it is the pad that I
don't want to use that is recognised...

The only way round this is to uninstall the pad I don't want to use
for GTA SA...but I'm not going to do this as I use it for other
things...

What am I doing wrong?

I have one usb pad and the unwanted one is a very old one which
connects to the old-stlye pin-port on my sound card...I don't want to
keep having to unplug it as it is not good for the port...or the
pins...

Bascially what I am getting at is why did GTA choose that pad as the
only/default pad when there is a usb one in too?....

I could do that....but still GTA should really have an option to
choose rather than have to mess around with a Windows
configuration....oh well...
