Dear Einlanzer Players,
There is a known issue with PC Gamepads, XBox 360 controllers, and PS3 controllers not working. There is no way to fix this issue with the RPG Maker engine. Apparently the entire internet is stumped by this issue.
Good news! There is an easy work-around. JoyToKey is a program that lets you bind gamepad keys to keyboard functions.

Here is a video I made to guide you through the process: https://youtu.be/Jim0etf5uz0
Simply use the program to bind whatever gamepad buttons you want to these keys:
w,a,s,d = movement
z = cancel/open menu
x = dash
c = confirm/interact
q = page left/up
e = page right/down
f12 = reset to title screen
f12 = reset to title page
