gamepad/keyboard options

[smegforbrain]

Ok. The N64 has a lot of buttons, and in weird places.

Any opinions on what is the best gamepad to go with to try and use for N64?

I'm also trying to get a feel for what keyboard keys I want to assign for what's remaining as well. Hopefully I can arrange something that feels pretty comfortable and doesn't interrupt game play alot.

I've seen an adapter that allows you to hook up a PSX controller to USB, which would be awfully close atleast - would just be short a few buttons then.

There's an adapter to connect a real N64 controller. It's called an adaptoid.

Hmm. Where can you find those at?

The only place I've seen the PSX adapter is Radio Shack.

Hey, thanks for the link.

A bit more pricey than I thought (especially compared to the PSX adapter), but I'll definately take a serious look at it.

The N64/PSX USB Adapter looks like a good option too; I'm not too concerned about the shock stuff.

Either way, I would just have to go find myself a N64 controller to use.

The N64/PSX USB adapter is WAY less compatable with games that the Adaptoid.

Sure, sure, go and burst my bubble for being a cheap wanker.

The N64/PSX adapter will work sufficiently well for N64 emulation providing you use a pad that is guaranteed to work with it. So don't be too put off by it, after all it is relatively inexpensive.

In the end you get what you pay for, the Adaptoid is a very high quality piece of equipment. The N64/PSX adaptor, whilst not of the same high quality as the Adaptoid, is still far from being useless

Go for a Saitek joypad, 2 analog sticks, enough buttons, works good for psx and n64 alike: http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/p2500.htm

You don't know what you're talking about.

This is my gamepad:

I'll take you on in SSB any day
Though it sucks for games like Goldeneye.
