My Hands Were Meant To Hold Only One Thing!!!!!!
mcbennet \| 11:05 AM on 08.08.2009	7 comments

Ever get sick of using the keyboard when you're playing roms? Feel like your PC gamepad is clunky and cumbersome? You ever see one of these? :

A USB adapter for your Playstation controllers.

I got mine off lik-sang before it got its pants sued off by Nintendo and everyone else under the sun. There are variations on the product, but man, was this thing worth it. I got this thing like 5 or 6 years ago for the price of $25 and haven't regretted it one bit. It even has two ports!

Old news I guess, but I've rekindled a love for the thing since my PSP bricked and can no longer access its GBA/SNES emulators.

I swear by it though. It makes rom playing feel more like a console experience. For me at least.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I've seen devices at walmart that allowed original xbox, gamecube, ps2, and psx controllers to be used on a pc. Maybe that was a long time ago.

no shit? go figure. seems kind of difficult to make an "all-in-one" adapter though.

OR, you could just plug a wired 360 controller into yo PC

BlackSunEmpire

@Lemon or connect the wireless one you have via wifi??

Call me stupid, but I never even thought about the 360 controller being compatible for use with one's computer. I believe I may have thought about it when I first received my Xbox and noticed the controller was connected via USB.

Will it just work with no additional assembly required or is there some kind of special software you need to d/l before you use it?

Guys: The 360 controller is only good for playing console-style games on a PC, really. Like....Gears of War and shit.

As I'm sure you're all aware, the 360 controller sucks dick with 2D titles in general. So I wouldn't recommend it, although the analog stick could probably be used if you needed a controller immediately or something.

about me

I stopped caring about Nintendo after Gamecube.
Microsoft is fine, but I prefer to wield a light and sharp katana blade.

I'm waiting for an original and exciting franchise to make me want to purchase a platformer again.

I choose immersion-factor over innovation, when I purchase a game.

And I hate media hype.

Hey,
