If your Gamepad Pro is acting like an 8-button GRIP pad controller in FIFA 98
Road to the World Cup or World Cup 98, here is the trick to get the Gamepad Pro
configuration with the Xperience software:

In game controllers, choose Gravis GRIP Pad (not Gravis Gamepad Pro) as your
controller.
Calibrate and test the pad (you will only see 8 buttons, this is OK).
When you get to the controller select screen in FIFA or WC '98, if a picture of
a GRIP pad appears as your controller, hit the Start button on the Gamepad Pro
itself, which will change the GRIP pad icon to a Gamepad Pro icon, and your
button configuration will be correct.

All other DirectInput games will recognize all 10 buttons when you choose
Gravis Gamepad Pro as your controller in your Game Controllers icon.
