Geez, I just don't see how some of you play with your hands inverted like that... I personally use a more WoW-ish setup for my emulation controls if I don't have a controller. Here's what I do for the SNES:
Directional pad: W, S, A, and D. A: Arrow right. B: Arrow down. X: Arrow up. Y: Arrow left. L: Q. R: E. Ever since I adopted this control scheme back in August, I haven't looked back. I suggest trying it out if you don't like some of the more obvious control schemes for the keyboard.  ____________________ Back from the beyond. |

I can control just fine either way using WASD or arrow keys.
It's just I don't have half the entire keyboard at my fingertips if I'm using WASD. ____________________ we're currently experiencing some technical difficulties |

Well, you get used to it either way, if you use it for long enough. I used arrow keys for directions, Z=A X=B (A=L S=R GBA) (A=X S=Y D=L C=R SNES) controls, before I got the usb connector for my PS2 controller (definitely prefer using it  ).____________________ |

I use a Logitech (and PS3 afterglow when I want to be blinded by green LEDs) controller normally, but when I use a keyboard I use:
WASD - Directions H - Select J - Start K - B L - A U - Y I - X , - L . - R |

And suddenly, I realize that everyone else uses an absolutely fucking weird keyboard controls setup. I'd never be able to use any of that shit. I'm too used to my setup. :V

As a person who used to play a metric ton of shareware games as a wee little lad, keyboard controls are second nature to me. (Though Ctrl & Alt were in vogue back in the day, not Z & X. I blame the Windows Key.) |

Damn you Windows key.
I have mine disabled, but that leaves a dead key between my Ctrl and Alt keys, so my emulators are set up to use Z and X for B and A. ____________________ Wife make lunch - Shampoo Opera - give it a spin Spare some of your free time? <GreyMaria> I walked around the Lake so many goddamn times that my sex drive was brutally murdered Kawa rocks  — byuu |

Oh, there's nothing wrong with the winkey's function per se.
It's the placement that bugs me. Just try playing a fullscreen game that uses Ctrl and Alt extensively. It's especially bad when you take your fingers off of them to enter a cheat code or something in the heat of battle. BAM! Screen res switch, desktop redraw, etcetera. Happy gaming! ____________________ Wife make lunch - Shampoo Opera - give it a spin Spare some of your free time? <GreyMaria> I walked around the Lake so many goddamn times that my sex drive was brutally murdered Kawa rocks — byuu |

Now it seems that even my N64 carts are starting to suffer from that problem. |

CD gaming isn't much better. Disks and lenses are liable to scratching, and it seems like consoles in general suffer from disk read errors the older they get. That's how my poor Gamecube ended up dying.  |

I personally prefer the real thing. Emulation is necessary though since, unfortunately, my NES and N64 controllers don't work anymore. The Genesis I would play just completely stopped working years ago. My Game Gear still works, but the buttons on it do not. I only really play PS2, GameCube, and rarely Game Boy Color anymore; and the GameCube always gives us reading problems whenever we're playing Melee. I don't know if it's a common issue among GameCubes since I've never asked before, or if it's the game itself that is causing the problems if the fact it's used makes a difference. |

My grandparents had an NES at one time, but it stopped working and has since been lost. I have an SNES with two "sort-of" working 3rd-party controllers (the d-pad is crap on these...). I have an N64 with ? controllers, most/all with barely functional analog sticks (they're so incredibly loose that you have to push it all the way to the edge to get anything to happen, and even then it's spotty). So yeah, I emulate those systems definitely. Plus, it's not really possible to play romhacks on the actual systems anyway (in some cases maybe, but it wouldn't be worth the expense to get the req'd equipment).
