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.
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?
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.
