Okami HD issue

Hi, I have been trying to make my controller work with Okami HD without luck. I have tried many guides and setups without luck. The game refuses to detect x360ce. I even inspected the .exe hoping to find something I can use. I found that it is linked to dinput8.dll. So, I tried using the x360ce's dinput8 dll files both 64 and 32 bit without luck.

Any tips are appreciated. Thank you.
