    Default snes, nes adapter and controller questions

    Hello,

    Could someone recommend a snes controller to usb adapter and can someone tell me where I can check to get an original SNES controller? I'm assuming those controllers are of better quality than the new, released ones.

    Also, could someone recommend a brand for a NES controller to usb adapter?

    Can't wait to play my games the old fashioned way, lol.

    Thanks.

    I've heard about ps2 controllers with usb adapters, but never SNES :/ Sadly enough, nes aren't produced anymore, neither are SNES, so i don't think you can get one But try searching the net, maybe you'll find one

    Or you could simply use a Playstation 2 controller since the button layout is identical to that on a Snes pad, and there are loads of cheap USB adapters to use them with a PC.

    Not sure about the USB adapter, though you could find an actual SNES controller on EBay, though might need a Paypal account... Don't think they made an adapter for that type of controller, though they did for systems after (N64, etc.) Might be in a jam here pal, but look around for ya and see...

    Yes they did: http://cgi.ebay.com/SNES-to-USB-adap...QQcmdZViewItem (might be a cheaper price, though might need to search a controller for it. )

    Thanks for the link. I bought one from ebay tonight. Now, I'll try and find a real snes controller. I heard those new ones were really poorly made.

    try game cube controller because it is awesome and for me it is easy to use on any emulators rather than too many controllers for different emulators.

    I can use it for snes, nes, n64 (a must because of many buttons and it have no problem ), ps2, nds, gba, and mame.

    Yeah, remember those turbo SNES controllers, always quit on me, but after buying five of those and end up throwing them out, still have the two original controllers. Might be your best bet, those flat and small ones that came with the system, but always reliable.

    RockmanForte: Yeah, Gamecube controllers seems to be a favorite lately, might try that ideal, use it for all the emulators (SNES & N64). Still can buy them and never quit on ya, unlike the PC ones and actual N64 ones, which seem to last barely a year until they get alinment & short problems...
