Hello everyone. I am new to forums in general so sorry if that's already been answered elsewhere but here's the thing. I am running BionicPup32 19.03 and I would like to play games on it with a gamepad but it always picks it up as a mouse. Is there any way to fix this?

What specific game pad is it?
Make and model?
In a terminal enter this:
modprobe joydev
press enter key.
That loads the driver that should be needed to run the game pad.
