    Connecting retro controllers to a PC

    Hoping to find something that lets me connect various controllers to my PC for some good old authentic retro gaming. Particularly after something that'll let me connect PS1 and SNES controllers, N64 would be nice as well. I know i've seen these around but I forget where, anyone have any recommendations?

      Thanks for the responses. I found that Lik-Sang do a whole smartjoy brand, are these the best out there? There's quite a big range and price isn't too bad.

      Also any comments on how well the controllers work. A few people seem to have a few complaints that they aren't that responsive used through the USB.

        If I can figure it out, I may be modding some retro controllers to connect via USB with no drivers... original controllers of course.. but need some code and components...

          I personally have great experiences with the PC Magic Box. It's let's you use psx/ps2/DC and Saturn pads. The saturn pad is great for snes games, it has the same layout but with a better d-pad (and 2 face buttons extra). No issues with lag or unresponsiveness at all.

            Sounds interesting Chaoticjelly, good luck with that. I might even be interested once your done. Looks like i'm always going to be relying on you for my modding services.

            The Magic Box looks good Sane, cheers. Saturn pads would certainly be nice for the PC. Would quite like to get my gamecube pads hooked up for N64 emulation, anyone tried out this? - as it seems to let you do so? It also has support for DC and PS.

              I remember seeing some nifty official USB Saturn pads some time ago, at Lik-Sang I think, proper USB by Sega, looked awesome, dont know if they sell them anymore..!

                Can't find individual controllers but they do have this. You get a free USB saturn controller with it. It's out of stock however.

                    Those didn't come up when I searched. Maybe they'll get more in stock, in any case.

                      They're modding original controllers, so that you can just plug it in your usb port.
                      Seems quite interesting, but I can't say if they're any good though...

                        Cheers Ryo, i'll take a look at them. May just go for the Lik-Sang one's though if they come back in stock.
