Buggy and limited?

I haven't used mine in a long time, but I don't recall it ever being buggy at all. You plug it in, and you have a perfectly working N64 controller on your PC. That was my experience with it.

I have not used one personally but read they are limited to one registered key press at a time and something with the thumbstick was buggy in certain programs/games I guess.

just checked google again real quik and found the same thing that others are still saying about it and apparenty it even renders some controller's only to be used on it after it has been used on the pc and no longer works with the N64.

like I said I never tried one myself becuase the price is a joke and after seeing others say they do not suggest it becuase of the price and performance I looked for more up to date device's.

I recently ordered one I mentioned prior with the dual ports made by may flash and apparently it does 2 controllers plug and play with no limits or bugs I should have it tommorow and can post the results..

Actually, they are the only adatper that works correctly with rumble packs and memory cards (although retrozone's attempt has some basic support).  NO other adatper has that.  It also is not at all limited and gave me the truest feel when playing N64 games on the PC.

They are absolutely not limited at all to one keypress.  I don't know what bitter flamewar you happened upon but I can assure you there hasn't been a better interface that i know of for n64 controls on the PC since.  I've had 2 other n64 interfaces that were absolute crap.  I just wish wishtec was still selling these.

never seen one in person but if they do indeed work flawless as small as they are I would like to see if I could reproduce them.

I don't know.   I had 2 of them at one point but I can't find them.  Whatever was used I think was hard to find as in. 2008 they were supposedly ready to go into production,  supposedly waiting for one specific component...  That was the last update from the company.
