Using Playstation DualShock pads in Blitz?

Are Playstation joypads ok to use in Blitz? I've got loads of joypads (orginal DualShock 1 pads), I want to use (eventually) for a multiplayer game. I've got adapters to plug them into the PC, though the driver software may be a a bit out of date now. Someone helped me get them working in the very early PC version of Blitz, but that was quite a while ago, and I no longer have that computer (or my old programs!), and I can't remember what I did. I basically want access to all functions (though I'm not that bothered about the vibration function), especially both analogue sticks , and all other buttons including L3 and R3 (when you push the sticks in). Thank you very much for any help. Rico

The PlayStation adapter I have here on this computer is usable, it goes through the standard direct play interface and works like a charm. All is accessible, even the two analog sticks. Not sure if the vibrate function is tho, never really tried.

Thanks Shagwna. Actually the vibration is really good in the Dualshock 1, I have Dualshock 2 with the PS2 and the vibration seems weaker.
