Is it possible to play Sonic Adventure DX with a GameCube controller?

I have the adapter for the controller but when I start up SADX and I go to configure it, it doesn't recognize a controller. I assume this is because it only recognizes XBox 360 controllers so I'm curious if there's anyway to use the GC controller

Press alt+f4 on start up.

Ignoring the troll above me, you may need a third-party program to make the Gamecube controller appear as a controller that the game recognizes. That's the only way I can think of doing it, though.

In brief, get the driver for your cord, go to steam big picture and set it up in the X-Box controller preset. Then, change the controls to suit the controller and open Sonic Adventure using Big Picture. It takes a few tries, but it does work eventually. If that doesn't work, look up a tutorial on YouTube.

It is. BetterSADX replaces the Steam version with the 2004 PC version + a few mods, which can be disabled. The 2004 PC version has a higher framerate, the only things which aren't allowed are most mods. (Input mod, framerate limiter, Xinput fix and the modloader's widescreen function are the only things allowed, since they don't give the user any advantage.)

So BetterSADX will recognize a gamecube controller adapter and let me play with it?

As long as you're using the Input mod, it'll allow you to use it.

Cool, thanks! :)

since steam itself is compatible with Dinput controllers and afaik gamecube being a Dinput controller, It should work
might have to configure the controiller beforehand in Big Picture mode
