I've been bugging people at SA and Gamefaqs about this too but haven't gotten any fruitful responses yet. Has anyone managed to successfully map all the controls of this game to a pad yet? When I try to play it with an Xbox controller I lose my right analog stick and D-pad (goodbye aiming, gangs, and finishing certain missions to get out of LS), and my PS2 controller loses both sticks (presumably because my adaptor sucks.) The game's a little complex for me to play with a board and mouse, so I'd really love to know if there's a solution

Which controller are you using? My Logitech Rumble Pad 2 worked perfectly with III and Vice City on PC, so I assume it should work well with San Andreas.

Just buy the xbox version.

Just buy the xbox version.

The allure of no loading and a draw distance to die for (once I drop $200 on a new video card, anyway) is too great. I'se must preservere.

And I'm just using a normal Xbox (with a joyboy 9)/PS2 controller (with a generic adaptor). Haven't had a PC pad in years

True, I agree that will be cool. I wonder if you need a controller app to remap your sticks and buttons. I'll see if I can find the one I used a while back.

I certainly don't want to dictate your preference, but I am confused. Based on GTAIII (I didn't play the other 3D GTAs), I would think that a keyboard and mouse would be much better for control, considering all the shooting, etc.

Mouse/KB is the best.

Keyboard and mouse sucks especially for driving and flying.

After getting another PS2 adapter, I found out that turning on the analog solves the right stick problem, but now I have to figure out the d-pad...

Do you really need a DVD Combo drive to play the pc version, if so, i might grab it next time i'm out.

I'm considering going out and getting the PC version. The XBX version, I can't read the fucking minimap. I keep crashing into shit trying to see where the goddamn icons are when I'm driving. I can't believe they let you turn it completely off, but don't give an option to make it bigger.

I refuse to sit 2 feet in front of the TV to play the damn game.

I've been playing fine with mouse/kb so far. Driving isn't so bad, but I can imagine flying will be an annoyance. I love having mouse look to turn the camera while I drive.

However, I think I'm gonna have to get the Xbox version, because it runs awfully choppy on my stone age machine. I'm over the min requirements just barely and I have to play on low detail at 1024x768 with 3 bars viewing distance. It dips to around 10 fps during a drive-by or big firefight.

I basically use both controls.

KB & Mouse while on foot.
Gamepad for driving.
