Final fantasy 8 control pad and Saving

[gamefreak89]

Ok I'm having a problem using the game cube controller since it only works with the D-pad is there any easier way to configure the controls (Since my d-pad is really screwed up) also I saved in game at that one spot in the Balamb school where you go down the elevator, but when I restarted my wii and loaded back up FF8 and went to continue it wasn't there anymore why? Would it be easier to save on the gamecube memory card?

Plus I'm using WiiSX 2.1

To Save Properly, do this press start+X on a gamecube controller, it will go back to the emulator menu saying: saved succussfully (or could not save) then continue your game. and also this game might just not be supported or have minor problems........

Well nevermind then because I deleted the game a long time ago lol Since it wasn't working right.
