About Me


Name : Collin

Consoles I owned : NES, SNES, PS2, GC, GB, GBC, GBA, DS
Consoles I want to get : Dreamcast, PS3 and I'm feeling tempted into getting a 360

Games I like : too many to list, but mostly retro, 2D platformers, FPS with a story line (hate Halo), the odd RPG.

Worthy accomplishments : finished Ninja gaiden 2, TMNT (NES) without game genie. Ikaruga, and discovered possibly everything in FFVI

Consoles I hate : anything Sega except Dreamcast, Xbox and Xbox 360 for crappy hardware and cause it's Microsoft.

Games I hate : Mario 64, Zelda games in 3D, all FF after VI, Halo (I miss the Marathon serie)

not Emulators and Controllers
Clyde | 5:15 AM on 03.28.2008 13 comments


This post is for all the people that not emulate. I am sure that most of us have tried emulators and found that the keyboard makes for a very very bad controller and well the PC controllers are really bad too, bad buttons but especially bad Dpads. Wouldn't you wish that you could use your dear SNES controller ? Well I'm sure most of us are aware that there are adapters but in case some of you are not aware here's the answer to your problem



Those adapters are simply amazing, they cost about 22$ on the web from this website http://www.retrousb.com/

they works extremely well with both PC & MAC and well the SNES controller is good for anything prior to the playstation, so whatever you do not emulate that is retro, the retrousb adapter will meet your need.

That's pretty cool. It really does suck using the Arrow key's especially in racing games.

If only my SNES wasn't in a box at my parents house :'(
I've gotten used to my 360 controller though, shitty ass d-pad and all.

Xbox 360 controller works perfect for not using with epsxe and project64 also not snes emulation, so I´ll stay with not using it.

That's pretty cool, although I just use a $15 USB Logitech PS2 controller clone. Works great for old games and new ones.
