is it common for gamepads to get their dpad fucked first?. Every single controller in recent memory I had got them arrows screwed (ie the down button stops being responsive unless you press it really hard) first and every single button on the controller worked fine for a long time.

Is it something I'm doing? is it becuase they were mostly just cheap controllers? any fix?

MotionInJoy isn't spyware. It's just a program that cost its creators money and to recoup the fees they had to pay, they implemented ads in a stupid way. It's a perfectly fine program.

Regardless, there recently came an ad free version of ds3 drivers that work well too.

It has a D-Pad that has more give and feels more responsive than the original, and I don't think the start and select buttons are as shitty either.

The only real difference I've felt between the Dual Action and F-series in terms of quality are the bottom triggers. The Dual Action uses digital triggers so there's little to no problem with the quality, whereas the F310's analog triggers will likely wear out and get real jittery.

Okay Ma/vr/icks, I learned that WiiMednafen is capable of outputting 240p over component so it's the new focus of my newly higher standards for emulation. This is the controller I would like but it's pretty balls expensive.

Some company called TTX makes a generic version but, of course the build quality is poor. People talk about putting the board from one into a real SNES controller but I can't find anyone with real info about if it fits or not. Help me.

be careful with 3rd party classic controllers, a lot of them don't work properly with the library that basically every homebrew emulator uses for input, rendering the d-pad inoperable. Whatever you do DO NOT BY THIS PIECE OF SHIT. Other gamecube adapters should be fine, check reviews.

I just use the original classic controller myself.

Yes, it's literally a half second and it misses half of your inputs. I'm not exaggerating. Thankfully I bought it locally and was able to return it, though I used the store credit to buy one of those third party SNES classic controllers that I mentioned doesn't work with homebrew (plus the d-pad was shit).

Ended up returning that too and just getting the official classic controller

>>	Anonymous Sun Jun 2 23:36:55 2013 No.757683 >>752358 Same way you do it on a regular SNES controller. You hold down Y with the tip of your thumb and press B with the lower part of the same thumb. Except for a Gamecube the lower part is more like the ball of your hand. Get on my level.

So I've been in and out of this thread this week and it's had me doing some research. I think I've pretty much firmly established a definitive answer. As I said before, the best controller for emulation is the controller for the system you're emulating. I've also recently become a fan of the Wii for emulating purposes.

Well there's this guy, Sparrow and his clever little Brazilian ass decoded all the classic controllers' timings and written a PIC that detects and converts them to Wii Classic Controller. It's all open source so you can use his circuit in whatever you want.

He sells one (currently sold out) that has a 9 pin serial type plug on it so you can plug Sega and Atari controllers into that but you just need a straight through adapter cable made from a controller extension cable to plug every other console's controllers into it (none have more than 9 wires).

He makes a USB one but since the Wiimote has well established Bluetooth drivers the Classic Controller one is 100% compatible with PC and Android too.

So that, in my expert opinion, is the best controller for emulators.

I received it and the box isn't like the one pictured. And the "up" input won't turn off. I'm pretty sure I got a dud. Fuck you amazon.
