controller recommendations

[regnad]

Can anyone recommend a good controller for Project64?

I see on other message boards people recommending the Logitech Rumblepad 2, but it seems this doesn't have enough buttons -- on the right side you need well-placed A and B as well as the four C buttons, and I'm not interested in using the tiny buttons intended for start and select as the A and B.

Anyone using a controller they are happy with?

Best controller out there is a usb to n64 adapter. The adapter will run you well under 15 bucks, and the old n64 controller can be found for under 10. Otherwise I would say anything other then Logitech as they can sometimes give you issues.

I would just love to do that.

Is there another option than the Adaptoid converter if I want to use the original controller? It seems they are unavailable except for a pretty penny on Ebay.

Is Adaptoid not the only option?

if you have some hardware background \ soldering and simple electronics knowledge, you can make your own converter,

Adaptiod is the king of adapters for n64, it is hard to find and $$$'y. This (http://cgi.ebay.com/Nintendo-64-N64-Playstation-2-PS2-PC-USB-Adapter-Cable_W0QQitemZ330235795368QQihZ014QQcategoryZ1399 69QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)one works.

I've heard that one is iffy -- that it doesn't like some controllers for some reason. Is that true?

[ulaoulao]

Yup, this is true. I don't understand why. The ones i make never do that wired button craziness.

So is there no reliable solution?

The one available converter is a crap shoot. The Adaptoid returns to production for three seconds and then the window of opportunity is gone, likely for another two years.

Is there a decent controller with six buttons on the right side?

So is there no reliable solution? - sure PM me.. I make them?
