What controllers are best for retro gaming on the PC? Is pic-related any good?

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 26 13:15:29 2014 No.2029940 dualshock 4 is best. download ds4tool, then just set the buttons you want in the emulator it reads it manually. You can also keyboard mapwith it. also the touchpad works as a mouse!

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 26 13:23:25 2014 No.2029953 >>2029909 The pro controller is very good, but you'll need an adapter. I don't think there are any drivers for it yet. The d-pad is great, and the 80 hours of battery life per charge is untouchable.

The best retro controller for a PC is the controller that was meant for the console with a mayflash adapter.

Wii classic controller with an adapter is the best if you want an all in one solution. I prefer the original classic controller but a lot of people like the Wii Pro controller better because of the handles. (NOT the Wii U controller)

For older games which look for the gamepad via Windows just get a Dualshock 2-to-USB adapter.
For games which absolutely require a gameport you can probably grab one of those megadrive controller clones which plug into the gameport.
For best support, just get an old gameport MS Sidewinder. It has preset settings in almost all Win9k games.

that's not how it works. if op specified what he wants in a controller because he doesn't know which of them has that option, fine.

to ask a stupid fucking question like in the op is cancer and can go back to /v/ or wherever the fuck. you can go too.

Your first statment is true.

But fuck man, have you actually played retro games with a dualshock 4? It works extremely fucking well. Much better than Dualshock 3 (not nearly as hard to press down), corners are easy to activate (unlike the Xbox 360 controller), triggers are analog (unlike Wii U or Pro Controller), and it's more comfortable than anything that's not a 360 or Xbox One controller. Also built in battery and wireless that works on every windows and linux machine, unlike 360 (requires special dongle and batteries/rechargable battery) or Xbox One (wired only on PC).

Nintendo is the only company with a truly competing dpad on a reasonably priced controller, but the lack of analog dpad on the Pro and Wii U controller, or the requirement of using a mayflash adapter or Wii remote to connect to my PC is annoying.

Also the DS4Tool lets me use my DS4 as a normal Xbox 360 controller plus a mouse with the thouchpad. Literally nothing can beat is unless you have a bunch of old controllers and mayflash adapters for all of them.

Why you so mad for?

Anyway, I think I'll try out the Wii U one. I just kind of want a jack of all trades that I can use with games from any console. And I can use it with my Wii U if I want.

I feel this way too. It's weird to me that the Pro and Game Pad controllers don't have analog triggers while the GameCube and Classic Pro controllers did, though. On one hand, I can't think of any games that really need analog triggers since most of the time you're pulling them all the way down anyway, but it just seems like an odd step back. Otherwise the buttons, d-pad, sticks, and shape feel great.

Okay.

You aren't explaining why it's worse other than "Well because." which really isn't a (good) reason at all. Make a substantial post. What about the controller design makes it unfit? "It wasn't made for it" is a silly argument. The mouse wasn't created for RTS and FPS, but it does a damn good job of being used for both of those.

Those are false equivalences, and if they weren't, they don't attempt to answer my question at why the 360 pad is bad for 3D platformers, which you still haven't given me an answer for.

I don't know if you're stupid or shitposting, but have fun spending the rest of your night like this. Later.
