I'm getting back into emulation again after years of not, and I need a SNES or PS1-style gamepad. I already have an Xbox 360 controller but I find the direction pad to be oddly placed, and also it's not quite ideal in terms of feel. Is there a good controller that has a decent d-pad that isn't oddly placed like most gamepads with analog?

You can try using a PlayStation or PlayStation 2 controller through an USB adapter.

Really? Where's the best place to get one of those? I wasn't even aware such a thing existed.

I'm sure there are many of them on eBay. You can check this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-PS2-to-PC-USB-Adapter-2-Ports-PSONE-Playstation-DDR_W0QQitemZ260117920978QQihZ016QQcategoryZ41059Q QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) for instance. I don't know how good they are since I've never tried them.

I use that one and it works great for many systems.
