TR1, Glidos and gamepads

Ok, I've downloaded Glidos and VDM sound. Have Tomb Raider 1 installed and
running beautifully (save for the windows desktop flashing in between
scenes but that's no bid deal).

My next problem to overcome is the gamepad. I played TR on the Playstation
originally, then I bought it for my PC along with a brand new Voodoo
Graphics card so I could replay TR1 with the 'enhanced' graphics. I was
able to use my Gravis Gamepad Pro (not a USB gamepad) with TR1 thru Angel
Of Darkness without amy problem.

How do I get it to work with TR1 and Glidos? Is it possible? I have a no
name USB gamepad that looks like a Playstation controller and that won't
work either (only buttons 1 and 2 register in TR1).

Or will I always end up playing TR1 on the Playstation?

I have found the best way to play TR1 on the PC is using ePSX, a
Playstation emulator. I have TR1 for both PC (Glidos and non-Glidos) and
Playstation, but with the PSX version, you get much better soundtrack
etc. ePSX is a bit of a pain to set up, but well worth the effort.

On the subject of your controller, though, can you assign 'keypresses'
to each controller button? If so, then simply assign your keypresses,
then configure the PC version of TR1's input to match. (I think you can
configure input config on TR1, can't you?)
