Platform Controllers For Your PC
I'm interested in getting a controller (preferably N64, because it's my favorite controller) that hooks into my computer (USB hopefully...). I told my friend I was looking for one of these, and he informed me that the companies that make this sort of thing are a little sketchy. Does anyone have any experience with these controllers and perhaps a favorite company, or a company to stay away from? Any information would be great. Thanks.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I remember finding plans for how to make your own adapter that plugs into your PC's printer port. It just required a little bit of soldering and knowing how to read a basic schematic. I had built one for my SNES controller. Unfortunately, that was about five years ago and I have no clue if it's around anymore.
If you can't find anything for the N64 but have a PS2, RadioShack sells a USB converter for controllers that works spectacularly. If I remember right (I haven't played for a while), you can even get rumble when playing on an emulator. Most amazing jew boots |

Model: 2600729 Catalog #: 26-729 If you own a Playstation (1 or 2) controller I'd recommend that guy. I own it, and I've recommended it to a number of people on here that have gone on to buy it and swear by it (I think capo bought one...). You don't need to buy from any shady internet dealer, there's no shoddy third-party components in the controller, and you don't even have to pay for shipping if you go to your local Radio Shack. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

Yeah, I got the same one as Sausage. It's really, really simple. You plug it in, and your done. No drivers needed, and you can switch between N64 and PSX/PS2 controller. I personally prefer the latter.
The only thing is, if you plan to use those analog controllers, you have to properly set it up, but it takes like 30 seconds. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? Soldier: Prepare yourself, rebel scum!! Arngrim : (These slipshod soldiers think they can call me "rebel scum"?) |
