Need suggestions for hooking up original console controllers to PC.
<< < (5/9) > >>
Usul:
 Can the "raphnet" users confirm that these adapters/circuits run under vista 64?

Thanks!

you're not worried about the clutter from the controllers?

I think from setting up my software I've realized that sometimes more isn't better... having the options of so many emulators means I'll spend a few seconds on one game, then move on to another, then move on to another system.

But then again, if you have the Nintendo controllers connected maybe it'll make you feel like playing nes more often

Incidentally, I've come to the same exact realization from watching my kids and my friends play the cab.  Some times, too much choice is really no choice at all.  But that being said, if I'm going to have an Atari emulator in there, I'd much rather play it with an Atari joystick than an arcade control panel.  Same with NES.  For me, those two systems are the embodiment of the 2nd and 3rd generation of home consoles.  With 'retro ports', as we're calling them in this thread, I can pump the nostalgia quotient up to 11.  For me, that's the whole point of the hobby.  :)

I just got all my materials in ... but sadly I still don't know where I want to implement it into my cab  ???

oh and, shateredsoul, I will probably spend more time setting up and installing this thing than actually using it ... but for me it's the fact that I did it that makes me feel like I've accomplished something ... plus my imaginary cool factor goes up like 20 points.

Ahh yes, I forget that part of the motivation.  Also, why not put them in a row? right underneath your cp, sort of why I'm building this to begin with
