The Best PC Controller?

[stimulate_uk]

i have just started playing emulator games on my pc, but i have no controller, could somebody suggest the best controller to purchase?

an n64 controller and an adaptoid, or with boom adapter would be next best if you can do without rumble.

i dont mind about rumble, would an n64 controller work with genesis games though?

also, i save my game on goldeneye, but how do i load it to where i exactly am? p.s. do n64 controllers only work on pcs with n64 emulators?

[Smiff]

any emulator that supports joysticks, yes

whats better a joystick so i can play on all formats or specifically an n64 controller?

the n64 controller is one of the best controllers ever made imho, so it will be fine for all formats

I use the Saitek P880 for NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, and GB/GBA emulation.

The only downside would be that there is no button that corresponds to the Z button on the N64 controller. I've made a decent workaround though: I use the L button on the gamepad for the N64's Z button and the left joystick button on the gamepad for the N64's L button.

If any Saitek P880 users are interested, here's the profile I use with Jabo's latest input plugin:

A) I've got an article on PC controllers (WIP) available at a small gaming and anime community --> http://www.lostreverie.com/forums/in...indpost&p=2728

B) If you get a usb controller, avoid the cheapest Logitech pad (others might be ok) and wireless ones aren't nessicarily better. Ones laid out like a PS2 controller do fine with almost anything -- with two shoulder buttons per side and two analog sticks you can map c-buttons as the directions on the right stick and z as L2. Oh, and if some controls aren't working get an input plugin supporting DirectInput!
