Default Super Nintendo controller for PC?
The only controller that I can use with my PC for SNES emulation is a wired 360 controller. As you probably know the D-Pad is flat out bad. Anyone know of a SNES controller for PC? Or something similar?

http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Smart.../dp/B0009VIZSY if you've already got an SNES controller, you can use one of those.

Otherwise I'd use a PS2/PS3 controller, those are pretty nice for SNES/NES games.

Hm I see, I know I have a PS2 controller floating around but I'm not so sure about a SNES controller. The console and all of my games and what not are buried somewhere in a box in the attic.

Plus that thing is like 20 bucks before shipping, probably not worth dropping that much cash to play Super Mario World once in a whle.

Haha, probably not. RadioShack should have a little converter box for your PS2 controller you can buy...that's where I got mine and it works pretty well for emulators.

Hm. I just did a quick search at their website and I couldn't find anything.

There's a better one, apparently the radioshack one was discontinued

If you are willing to look for that controller, then there is mods for SNES to parallel port.

Free, cheap, and easy. Still need the parallel port.
