...and you have a WM5 device (more specifically, an x51v or x50v with WM5), just install the ''Dopod 818'' drivers. Get the official drivers from:

http://www.powerfuldevice.com or http://www.chainpus.com

Let the program install to the main memory of your device. Remove the link to "Gamepad.exe'' in your \Windows\Startup\ folder (That is on your device as well), as it seems to be messed up. Hope this helps some people!

Helped me! Thank you! My $7 Gamepad works!

$7 Gamepad? What's that one?

Dell Inspiron Mini 9 | Dell Axim X30 312Mhz Wifi/BT | LG Env w/ 2GB MicroSD | GlobalSat BT-338 Bluetooth GPS | Motorola HS850 | PSP 1.5 | Apple iPod Touch 8G | Dual Core XPS 400 |

A website briefly offered a black bluetooth gamepad for $7+shipping.

Wow, that sounds like a good deal. Did it still come with the games?

Nope. It doesn't say Chainpus on any of the packaging either. However it is identical, and apparently the driver install is the same.

Where do I get this driver "Dopod 818" and what do you mean by "Remove the link to "Gamepad.exe'' in your \Windows\Startup\ folder,"

Thanks

Has anyone figured out how to get an axim X51v to sit between the controls? I still haven't gotten to use mine due to PC troubles and upgrading, but it seems like a pain to try to play with it when you have to have the device set up in a different location.

Thanks everyone! I just realized that the driver every one is talking about is on the software that came with the controller you can also get it from the chainpus site. My controller now works with my dell x51v !!! "dopod 818"

but what do you do with your device when you are using the controller?

The controller won't hold the axim so they are seperated when I play games which is of little concern to me. I never wanted the controller to hold my PPC in the first place, I just wanted a blue tooth controller. I might mod my controller like that guy did with the psp controller but instead I'll use an SNES controller hmmm...

Well I also have a Bluetooth Keyboard, so I used to use the stand it came with, but it broke... Hope I get a replacement, it worked perfectly.
