| For playing games like Nes, Snes, and old consoles on your computer (via emulation of course) what do you normally use, a Keyboard or a controller? I still haven't tried looking for a good adapter of any kind. My friend recently got one that's for Playstation controllers and it works pretty well. (PS controllers being all around pretty good for any kind of older game), and it supports up to 2 controllers. So I play with the good old keyboard, my setup for Zsnes is: (Y and X might be reversed) B - F A - S Y - D X - A Start - Enter, Select - Space Below ASDF, I use ZXCV for turbo controls. W for L, and E for R. For other emulators I basically use the same keys. (edited by Xeogred on 12-01-04 01:22 PM) |

| Keyboard, not by choice. ZSNES: s = A x = B a = X z = Y d = L c = R k = UP m = DOWN n = LEFT , = RIGHT L. Shift = SELECT L. Ctrl. = START ~ = SPEEDUP w = SPEEDDOWN Arcade four-button is z,x,c,a for 1-4. NES is z,x,a,s for B, A, Select, Start. |

Keyboard, thought I do really want a controller for my N64 emulator. Using the keyboard for the analog stick feels... awkard.  I use the standard Nesticle and FCE ultra keyboard layout for NES but on SNES... A=C B=X X=V Y=Z L=A R=S The rest are standard controls. Well, expect that I use E for slow motion.

| Well, if we're going to go so far as to post key layouts... I have a Saitek P880, it's nice.   The red button is Shift. You don't have to actually hold it while you press the key either.  The one in the middle just switches analog/digital mode.FCEUd: 1: B 2: Rapid-fire B 3: A 4: Rapid-fire A 7/8: Start 9/10: I forget. ZSnes: 1: Y 2: X 3: B 4: A 5: Start 6: Turbo 7: L 8: R 9: Select Shift-1: Choose save state Shift-2: Load Game Menu Shift-3: Toggle Sprites Shift-4: Restore all layers Shift-5: Toggle framerate Shift-6: Toggle clock Shift-7: Load state Shift-8: Save state Shift-9: Reset Shift-10: Switch input device (controller, mouse, gun etc) Shift-Left: Toggle BG1 Shift-Up: Toggle BG2 Shift-Right: Toggle BG3 Shift-Down: Toggle BG4 Though the Shift functions don't seem to be working in ZSnes anymore.  NO$GMB: I have trouble getting the joystick to work with this, and I always use the keyboard for it anyway. Arrows: Directions Numpad 0: A Numpad 1: B Numpad Enter: Start Right Shift: Select Numpad *: Reset (not configurable) Numpad +: Turbo (not configurable) It also goes left when I press left alt. Others I can't be bothered to remember. Say, can anyone help with this? ZSnes has stopped responding to the shift keys (which are actually mapped to keyboard keys, and it works fine if I use the keyboard). Worse, pressing 6 turns turbo on but then I have to mash it a million times to turn it back off!  |

| I use a $10 Saitek controller that I got from the Wal-Mart in Rindge, NH. Best $10 I ever spent. The one exception is MAME games, where my keyboard setup changes from game to game. EDIT: Okay, two exceptions. The above, and I'll switch the d-pad to the arrows when playing level 11 of Battletoads, because the controller pad isn't precise enough to get me through more than three turns before I get run over.

| Mostly using a GCN Pad on my Computer, so it's logical wich Keys go for wich Buttons. If I use the Keyboard: A: Enter B: Right Shift X: $ Y: ! ($ & ! are right next to the Enterkey on a Swissgerman keyboard), A/B or X/Y may be reversed. L: Delete R: Pg Dwn Start: Num0 Select: Num1 Except for Neo Geo Emulation, I use the default settings (A, S, D, F) |

I'm using my Logitech Dual Action, which is exactely a copy from the original PS2 pad with two analogue sticks. The only feature I'm missing is force feedback, so maybe there might be way to emulate a virtual Rumble Pak, which is handy when it comes for playing Zelda OoT  Emulating with a non N64ish pad is a bitch, since the analogue stick has slightly too much intensity, although I can play Zelda OoT still very conveniently, like walking over very thin areas like the chains high above in Goron Cave. On the other hand it s really great when I'm running ePSXe If I play Tetris Attack or any puzzle game, I rather prefer the keyboard, since the d-pad is not that good My setup is on the keyboard as below Start = Enter Select = Spacebar Y = Y ( )X = X B = A A = S L = Q R = W and the arrow keys for the directions.

| I tend to use my game controler for certain games. Mainly the ones that my keyboard can't handle. Keyboard setup: A - Space B - Enter (numpad) X - N Y - M L - , (Left pointing <) or n R - . (right pointing >) or m Select - Right Shift Start - Right Control Directions - arrows.. I find sometimes i can't do something. Certain Games (I.E WL4) i can ONLY play with a controler/gamepad. |
