GB/GBC - GEST
GBA - Visual Boy Advance

The emulators I typically use most of the time.
Talk about emulation stuff here...

What are your controls for your NES emulator? I cant seem to find a comfortable control scheme. I use Z for the A button and X for the B button, with arrow keys being the dpad, but it just doesn't feel right. Maybe I should get used to it?

Try using X for A and Z for B, Right Shift for Select and Enter for Start.
Alternatively use a PS3 controller and map it to the buttons, a lot better that way.

Yeah, X=A and Z=B should work fine. I use a keyboard configuration like that when I'm unable to use my PC game controller.

When it comes to emulators, I'll always recommend RetroArch, a multi-OS, multi-system emulator. It emulates almost all of the retro consoles (such as all the consoles in the OP), and it allows the use of video filters/shaders to make your games look nicer. It may take a while to set up, but I think it's worth it

So you finally got around to posting, heh
I use an unofficial PS3 wireless controller which has a Bluetooth (?) receiver built-in, so it works with PC or PS3 systems.
The main difference with it is that it swaps the D-Pad and the Left Stick around so it has the same layout as a gamecube controller generally.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with no$gba 2.8b though.

I use a bluetooth Dual Shock 4. I tell ya, it's pretty sweet having a wireless controller on a PC. Microsoft is smart to jump on the blutooth bandwagon with their controllers. It's just so much more convenient than a dongle or usb cord.

As for which emulators I use:

Gens/GS - Genesis
SNES 9X - Super Nintendo
visualboy advance - GBA/GB/GBC
FCEUXDSP - NES
SSF - Version 7 - Sega Saturn (For Castlevania SOTN mostly)
EPSXE - Playstation
Mame64 - Arcade games.

Most of the emulators I used for FCEUX and Snes9X/ZSNES I used a Super NES USB controller. I am planning to buy a Sega Genesis USB Controller for Kega Fusion and a couple of PC Engine Fighting Games. The N64 USB Controller doesn't work too well and I don't use any of the N64 Emulators often.

I'd suggest you buy the controller because the Mega Drive is an amazing console ^^

What firmware version do you have?

Also, for iOS users: GBA4iOS 2.1 has been signed since 1st August 2016. You do not need a date trick to use it, and I have tested it on iOS 10 beta 4 on an iPhone 5c and it works as it should.

Unfortunately I can't seem to install Snes4iOS even with trying the date trick, it stops initiating the installation if I put the date back, and throws an error any other time.

Also, Emu4iOS has been down for several months now, it is safe to assume the site doesn't exist anymore.

What controllers do you like for emulation? I bought an OG Xbox controller for emulation purposes, with USB adaptor and the XBCD drivers which are a pain to get working on W10...
