Yes. Do that.

There is nothing better for classic games.

Generally the recommendation that gets thrown around here for 8/16 bit is a sega saturn controller via USB converter. I don't hear much good for third party usb controllers.

>analog sticks don't have clickable buttons
So close to being perfect across the board. I also seem to be in the minority that thinks this is still the best version of that controller. I hated those handles on the later versions.

How is the dualshock 4? I want something wireless and without a shit d-pad like the 360 controller.

Seems like the new Apple TV may turn into a pretty great emulation box.

There's easy side-loading now via github, etc., no need to get through the App Store.

Any good controllers for it?

DS3 looks sturdier in my opinion.

Sure. Many children here have put together completely useless definitive controller rankings.

Either get a USB adapter and original controllers on 3rd party USB controllers designed for emulating the console you want. The only time you should use a single controller for multiple systems is when you're going to be on a confined space for a long time limited storage space. Such as being smuggled from China to America in a container full of 50 people.

even the chinese knockoffs work great, i have 2 classic controller pro knockoffs of my wii and they're just fine.

It's a personal preference thing.

iBuffalo SNES pads work great for several systems (SNES, NES, DMG, GBC, GBA).

Depending on how picky you are/if you owned the actual system you might want a NES pad for NES and DMG/GBC.

Only 16-bit system I've tried that I don't like the iBuffalo with is the Genesis

I use mayflash adapters with OEM controllers for PS2 and N64, they work great. I tried a USB adapter for SNES and it was unusable (up button didn't register)

My third party wireless 360 receiver works flawless, but the feel is all wrong for retro.

I ordered a $5 USB genesis pad but haven't recieved it yet. There's also a ~$15 usb adapter for OEM controllers on ebay.

So, /vr/....

Are the Logitec line of PC controllers worth two shits anymore?

I use a DS4 for pretty much everything though I'd like to get a USB Saturn controller going

Will it work without the adapter?

If it's anything like my 2009 Macbook, Dual Shock 3 will work out of the box. Does it have Bluetooth?

Get the saturn controller for ps2. That's what I use. You get a nice comfy select button.

Wonderful, I own 2 of them just for emulation

IMO it has a better Dpad then the PS 1-3, and the long grips make it supper comfy to hold.

The only shitty thing is the tiny ass Select(share) and Start buttons. But I actually just map the right and left side of the touch pad to function as those most of the time.

On the Wii? Yeah, sure.

iBuffalo for any console without a joystick
My choice of xb360, DS4, GCN OEMs for anything with a joystick

Only shitty thing is a few N64 games (Turok, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark to name a few), but I have an N64 and CRT for that

It's pretty good for me. Had to adjust a bit because my hands fit the bigger DS3 more but everything else feels quite nice.

Frankly, there are a ton of options. I have the following:

>Wii Classic Controller Pro
for Nintendo stuff, just feels right
>USB Sega Saturn Pad
for Genesis and for fighters or other arcade games
>Hori Pad EX2 Turbo for 360
Generally awesome 3D controller and good for 2-player on Genesis, also my go-to for N64 (it has 6 face buttons, the bumpers are doubled on face. My only complaint is that the 'normal' bumpers are too sensitve. D-pad and stick are great though)
>Logitech Driving Force GT
racing wheel, entry level. I use it for OutRun but need a replacement because it has a problem I cannot fix.

>arcade machine
I don't fucking think so

The Gamecube controller adapter for Wii U works natively for Dolphin.
