I’ve installed the fitgirl repack of the original Bournout: Paradise on an old HP laptop running Linux Mint. The game runs fine but will not recognise input from my 8bitdo Pro2 controller.
The controller works on the laptop, as I can play Midtown Madness 2 with the controller no problem.
I’ve tried the Windows and Android modes of the controller, and neither of them work. I’ve installed the game through Lutris and it’s running on Wine.
Any help on workarounds for this is appreciated. The easiest solution would probably be a program that maps the controller inputs to the keyboard inputs for the game.
I was having same problem game itself weird behaving on gamepads ,so only adding game to steam as non steam game and from launching from there helped me.
Since this is an old laptop for my kids I don’t want to put Steam on there. I found a program called antimicro that translates controller inputs to keyboard keys so I’m going to try that out
