has anyone gotten rumble working on logitech rumblepad2 controller?

when i enable rumble pak in the default input plugin project64 comes with i do get rumble in my controller but it doesn't seem to rumble when it's suppsosed to. like in starfox it'll continually rumble throughout the entire game and in other games it'll rumble every 10 seconds or so. i've tried other plugins listed on the project64 site but it's a no go. has anyone out there with a similar controller as mine gotten proper rumble support?

edit: nvm i found what i wanted and sorry for double post.

for some reason with the n rage plugin the top d-pad button isn't working in games. i can set it within the controller configuration menu just fine it's just in games where it isn't working...

it appears version 2.1.80a will fix it. does anyone know where i can get that version? i can only find source code of that version...
