Using xbox 360 controller for Sacred 1

[ninjaofni 0]

I've been trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work with Sacred Gold, but it doesn't seem to respond. I've tried running Joy2Key in the background and have created what feels like the best configuration I can come up with for playing Sacred, but for some reason when I start Sacred, Joy2Key doesn't seem to work as it stops responding to my use of the controller. Has anyone here been able to successfully play Sacred using an Xbox 360 controller? If so, could you let me know how you got it to work and if it was worth doing?
