How to configure a generic USB gamepad natively in Dead Space 2

Please note, you won't be able to configure the gamepad with the in-game controls menu.

Game Pad Configuration
----------------
For game pads which do not exhibit correct behavior, a custom configuration can be used to specify the actions that each button and joystick should be associated with. The file must be called joypad.txt and be located in the Dead Space™ 2 installation directory. An example file is located in that directory named joypad_example.txt. You can use this file by renaming it to joypad.txt.

In order to change the behavior of your game pad, you will need to change the value for the button and joystick axis entries. In order to find the correct values for these entries, first navigate to the ‘Game Controllers’ item in Control Panel with the game pad connected to the computer. Next select the game pad from the ‘Installed game controllers’ list and click the ‘Properties’ button. The Properties window should be displayed which will allow you to determine what the number of each of your game pads buttons is as well as the name of each of the joystick axes.

Buttons must be assigned a value of ‘Button.#’ where # is the number of the button.
For joystick axes, they must be assigned a value from the following list:
X-Axis
Y-Axis
Z-Axis
Z-Rotation
Throttle
Rudder
X-Axis.Inverted
Y-Axis.Inverted
Z-Axis.Inverted
Z-Rotation.Inverted
Throttle.Inverted
Rudder.Inverted
This list corresponds to the common axes that are used by game pads, as well a variant of each axis which is flipped or inverted.

After setting each of the button and joystick axis values, and renaming the file joypad.txt, when you start Dead Space™ 2 the configuration will be loaded. If a mistake has been made and the value of any of the buttons or joystick axes isn’t recognized, that button or joystick axis will do nothing in game.

Below is the original content of joypad_example.txt:

Vaults of Atlantis Slots pogo game

Unlock treasures in Vaults of Atlantis Slots, a free online multi-line slots game!

Tex spent months searching for the Vaults of Atlantis and he's finally hit the jackpot. It's up to you to help him unlock the vaults by making winning combinations. But beware! Danger lurks in the depths of the ocean

Treacherous Obstacles: Avoid the dangerous creatures or your tokens will be returned to the vaults

Line 'em up!: Unlock the vaults by lining up three or more treasure chests

Bonus Game: Match three Vault symbols to advance Tex Carter to the bonus game

Choose how many lines you wish to play. Vaults of Atlantis features 9 unique lines, extending from left to right in different patterns across the reels.

Place your bet (per line) by clicking either BET ONE or BET MAX. BET ONE will increase your bet by 1 Token each time you press it. BET MAX will bet 5 Tokens per line. (If you have less than 45 tokens, BET MAX will bet 5 Tokens on as many lines as you can afford to play.)

If you clicked BET ONE in Step 1, click on the "Play" button in the lower-right side of the screen to spin the reels. If you clicked BET MAX in Step 1, the reels will spin automatically.

Watch to see if you get a winning combination! To get a winning combination, symbols must line up in order from left to right on the pay line, starting from the first reel.

If you get 3 or more Treasure Chest symbols in a row starting from the first reel, you'll enter a Bonus Game room! Click on the Treasure Chests to reveal hidden treasure!

Once inside the vault, Tex can open as many Treasure Chests as there were Treasure Chest symbols on the pay line. After the game is complete, Tex exits the current vault and appears at the entrance to the next vault.

After exiting the fourth Treasure Chest vault, Tex will stand next to the stairs leading to the Atlantis Vault bonus game, and the Treasure Chest symbols will be replaced by the Atlantis Vault symbols. Matching 3 Atlantis Vault symbols will cause Tex to climb the stairs and play the Atlantis Vault bonus game.

In the Atlantis Vault bonus slots game, you can click on any "?" Panel available to reveal a bonus. For each successful selection, the bonus multiplier will increase by 1, and your next selection will be multiplied by that number. However, there are three Shark symbols on the board that will stop your progress if selected. All bonuses earned to that point will be awarded, but no further selections will be possible.

If a Shark, Eel, Swordfish, or Giant Squid symbol lands on the middle position of the 5th reel, Tex will quickly become the center of their attention! Any Tokens that would have been won on that spin will be taken back to the Vaults, but Tex will always come back to keep searching! In addition, any bonus multipliers earned in the Sarcophagus bonus game will be lost.
