N64 emulator and control pad question.

[sinister357]

i'm thinking about getting a N64 emulator going. my question is what can i use for a controller? i see usb adapters that claim to work with standard N64 controllers. will that work with the emulators here? my brother has a ps2 comtroller/usb adapter...will that work?

Yes, both of them will work

If you get an adaptiod for n64 it will work with just about all n64 pads. If you get the psx/n64 adapter don't be surprised if the buttons go nutz for n64. Its a 30/70 change it will work. 70 being the good. I have 6 controllers 2 don't work. Psx will give you no trouble.

Thanks for the info, ulauolao. I didn't know that. I just have a PSX controller and adapter myself and thought all N64 ones would also work.

If there is any more interest in this, we should all post SN's and see if its a certain batch. All the info I have read thus far has no definitive info to show what will work and what wont. But I will tell you this ALL after market n64's fail for me.
