Suggestions on PC Gamepad
Necro:
brophog: Already getting an X-arcade. Next step is a cabinet and control migration once I get a house/place I can do woodwork (a one bedroom in the city, with a wife, doesn't cut it).
pkurby1: Cool thanks. I hadn't looked at Circuit City yet. I did put in a big on e-bay for a Thrustmaster Firestorm (so I could have 2 similar controls). Things only like 10-12$ with shipping and almost new...if it doesn't pan out I'll check the saitek. Do you find the square analog holes problematic.
And the issue with the adaptoids and the PSX adapters is I dont have a PSX or an N64 - at the moment. Though your USB comment sounds perfect. I just take issue to paying $20 for a USB connector :).
Thanks! :)

I use an Xbox s-type, works great for N64, and they seem higher quality than most PC gamepads. You can buy an adpater for ~$6 shipped off ebay, I just made my own fron an old usb cable, just match all the wires from the Xbox, except the yellow one, which is only used for light guns\pens. You also need the driver from http://www.redcl0ud.com/xbcd.html
daywane:
If you do not want to pay for a PS2 or a N64 adaptor
then a sidewinder is best,
also very simple to hack later on if you decide to later.
i like PS2 to hack but sidewinders are top notch
Never hacked a USB one
Game port.
Caution, NEVER add a extention to a gameport side winder. Wrecks them.

If you haven't gotten one yet and want a slightly used one send me a PM.
