Windows 7 64 bit home and a controller.

[Rawe]

Hi, I'm new to the forums and am wondering what a good controller would be for emulators. Mainly snes, or PC games as well. I have Windows 7 64 bit, and am wondering what do you guys use? Thanks. Would this one work well?

Any controller with a PlayStation controller layout is perfect (D-Pad, 4 buttons, 2 or 4 trigger buttons and two analog sticks). You can get the Genius MaxFire G-12U Vibration gamepad which is compatible with Windows 7 (even on 64 bit) or similar gamepads. Another excellent choice is that you can also connect an Xbox 360 controller to the PC. Xbox 360 controller is strongly recommended when playing "Games for Windows" titles.

So an Xbox 360 controller for windows would work well with SNES Roms and NES roms? THanks for replying btw.

I guess so. I have never tried an Xbox 360 controller before, but that'd do the trick.
