How did you get it to work on newer computers? I just threw mine out after it was collecting dust since XP came along.

This controller is awesome in every sense of the word. The right analog stick top has broken off, but it's still workable. I also have a really old Logitch joystick (forgot the name, sorry), but it's gotten very squeaky.

I have this but find the D-Pad can be hard to get recognized in emulators. My computer keeps reading the D-Pad as this weird "hat" thing that's hard to get recognized in older programs, and tends to diagonal a bit too much.

Being reduced to the joystick sucks on old fighting games and beatemups. A toward-toward-punch becomes a nightmare.

BUT, I have no better recommendation. This is way better than my previous gamepad.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
