Great Accessory for Emulator Fans

I love emulators for my PC. I don't keep old systems out (aside from my sometimes working NES). So emulation is a beautiful thing...Since I don't play much on the PC in general, I never really bought a solid controller for my PC. But, I didn't fret...When I realized what a pain in the balls it was to play FF II/MGS/Suikoden I and II, along with platformers like Super Mario 64 and LoZ: LttP with a keyboard, I was a happy guy when I saw this...



And I would say before going on...You should never download a rom or ISO if you do not own the original game (disclaimer for me, and Dtoid). The reciever comes with a disc to put a driver in (although there is a newer update available on the Microsoft site), and you are on your way. All you need to do is link up the controller with the reciever (by hitting the IR find button on the controller and reciever, just like you do for the 360)...Set up a controller config, and you're money.

So for anybody like me who is cheap (corded controllers for the 360 go for 30 bucks USED!!!) this is a nice move to make. I can attest to the connection staying solid, and not dropping at all (as it doesn't drop on the 360 either).

I'm sure most of you know of this, but if you're like me and just didn't know, now you do! It's fantastic, and now I am off to the land of Ivalice to enjoy a game I've loved for over 10 years...with my wireless 360 controller.

there are lots of options to get console controllers working on your pc. i'd advise against the 360 only b/c most classic games rely on the d-pad. which is meh at best on the 360. snes controller usb adapters are where its at.

amazon
$20 bones.

i like the PS2 controller -> USB connector, can usually find for around 10$

much better for not playing roms.

PS2 to USB is the way to go

I'm so used to using the 360 controller I just figured what the hell...and for 20 bucks I can't argue. I agree the d-pad isn't as great as it should have been, but it doesn't really bother me...I use the analog stick usually...

I agree with blacksheep and king3vbo, PS2's a far better controller for console emulation. The dpad is the best out there.
Of course, you could go the "cheap USB controller actually made for the platform" route, which is what I did. $15 shipped for a Logitech controller wasn't bad when I got it.

I have a PS2/N64 usb, it's great because I find it hard to play N64 games with anything but the N64 controller. Only downside is that it's a pain to get working sometimes.

Lurkmon - I actually was playing Super Mario 64 before...And when I was doing the controller config I got confused, I forgot how insane those N64 controllers were...but having the C buttons on the d pad, and analog stick to move...along with having the z button on the face wasn't bad at all...I forgot how awesome SM64 was...
