@ExarKunIv Well i guess it depends on whether if you want to recompile ZDoom again for it to work with a modified gamepad or install the Xboxdrv driver package and create a runcommand file to be used. The Xboxdrv has the most advantage as it can be used for any port or any system and it works with any gamepad, while the other is only used for ZDoom.

I think Xboxdrv is the most versatile but if you only want to build a Doom inspired system, then RetroS3xual modified gamepad for ZDoom is probably the way to go and should work fine.

@marky489 zdoom will work with controllers. You need to enable controllers in the options, then in that controller you need to turn off axis 4 and higher otherwise you will spin in circles in gameplay. Set what you want axis 0-3 to be. Then there is another option outside of the controller setting where you assign buttons and keys. Configure your controller in there. It sets it up for every doom engine game you use zdoom for. The only issue is you need to use the xboxdrv to set up the esc key and the enter key so you can exit/ use menu without a keyboard. Left and right on your controller is up and down in the menu
