Grandia II

I've been playing the PC version of this game using my Axispad game controller (a clone of Playstation 2's standard Dual Shock controller) and it configured easily and works like a charm. I have no complaints and the game plays just like a console version would (slightly better in the graphics department since the PC version is actually capable of higher resolution than either console version is).

But I do have one problem, and I'm not sure if it's related to the fact I'm playing the PC version or maybe I've just missed a fundamental concept along the way. At one point in the journey, there is an arm-wrestling minigame (with a stereotypical japanese "muscle man"). And while this sequence is entirely optional, one can win prizes (valuable items) if they do it properly. Unfortunately I can't figure it out. I never win. So I need any tips or tricks relating to this part of the game.

Thanks!
