Suitable PC gamepad for N64 games

[Flash]

:baaa: Works great for me, for a variety of systems.

You're all still crazy.

I use N64 pad for N64 games and PSX Dualshock for everything else, except fightings - i've made good arcade-style stick for it.

The best...

There's always the adaptoid, using a real N64 controller.

But I prefer a dualshock. If you don't have one/can't afford one/etc., you can get a $10 Gravis Gamepad Pro, which is a nice solid gamepad, but does not have analog capabilities. N-Rage's Plugin w/ modifiers is necessary.

Here's the setup:

Analog stick - Analog stick
Digital Pad - Digital Pad.

A - Bottom Button
B - Left Button
Z - Right Button

R - Top Button
L - Select
Start - Start

C left - L1
C right - R1
C up - L2
C down - R2

That's the setup I use, and I believe that the gamecube has stolen my general idea (could be wrong, though, as I don't have one and can't remember exactly.)

Well if you'd read the thread...

I do not want to buy a real N64 gamepad and connect via a convertor.

And... playing on a GPPro is a chore. No analogue = ouch.

Umm, that's why I said to use a dualshock.

If he doesn't want to do that too, or spend money on a good analog controller, he's stuck with a GPPro.

And my post wasn't directed entirely at him.

i use a thrustmaster dual power. not perfect for n64 emulation, but close.

I bought one of those because my dog chewed through my GPPro. I didn't like it, I patched up the cord on my GPPro and went back to using it (this was before I got my dualshock working.)

 

[james.miller]

HELL NO! lol. i also have a GPpro but it doesnt mesure up to my thrustmaster.

Other Gamepad

The best Gamepad 4 PlayStation, Nintendo 64, SNES, NES = I think: Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Power 2 (Newer Version)
I bought it @ my computer store for only: € 29,95 (~ $32) now 6 months ago and it works fine for me. Look @ the site:

Soooo.. Cee it yourself

I am using a Gravis XTerminator Digital Game Pad. It has everything you need for N64 emulation:

• An analogue stick as well as a D-Pad
• six buttons which are perfect a, b and c buttons
• two analogue flippers to be used as L and R
• two digital flippers (I use the right as Z button)
• two and one additional button to be used a START

...my suggestion

P.S.: You can even press the L button while playing with the analogue stick

Another "point of view":

 

[Slougi]

I have one of em Gravis XTerminators as well. One hell of a pad I must say A pity my little sister decided to submerge it in the bathtub...

 

[Tagrineth]

I don't like the arrangement of the face buttons, offhand, for N64 emulation... just looks like it could feel odd.

Then again, so does the Saitek P880, because buttons 5 and 6 (farthest right) are smaller and shifted down slightly...

I have one of those crap Gravis XTerminator Digital Game Pads.

They really suck, The analog stick is very poor, and if you press 1 of the top buttons you can't press the other one.

those two trigger buttons at the back are in a poor place as well, and "click" in an annoying fashion. the buttons are made of a poor material as well...

Heres what I have, a p2500 Saitek Rumble pad,

It has

2 Analog sticks (both have their own buttons)
2 trigger buttons
6 main buttons
1 Dpad
Analog/Digial Switch
a Switch button for more programming!

you can look at it on http://www.saitek.com/
