The controller of the system the games were designed for, or failing that, a repro that got as close as possible.
For an all round option, almost everything until the 32-bit era could be done with an arcade stick, which were often 'pro controllers' of the time, but these days you can get one with proper arcade parts much more easily. There will be some exceptions for games with specialist (e.g. lightgun, trackball etc) or weird control schemes, but any controller may struggle with those. It's even fine (or preferred) for 32-bit consoles with 2D arcade ports, though by this era some of the 2D console only games might be designed with shoulder buttons in mind.

Not him, but I've been using one for more than a year. It's very simple, you plug in the wireless adapter, set it to xinput and sync the controller. The only thing I had to do was to input a button combination on the controller because by default the buttons are mapped like the Wii U instead of the Xbox 360, so they were all messed up (since most xinput games are mapped like 360). But you do that once and done, no need to do it ever again.

It's pretty much perfect and works with any game that supports xinput. The option for dinput is also there if you want, I never used it myself.

The only bad thing I can think of is that it doesn't support 4 controllers on xinput, only dinput. So it's kind of a pain to map the buttons if you want to play local multiplayer with friends.

>> No.8264076

>>8263997
>what about it is bad?
Have you looked at the surface? Count the number of buttons there? Even the filename gives away it’s a fighting stick. That’s not much for a “best controller” for 2d

>> No.8264197

Terrible question from someone with a limited POV. There is no one controller that's best for Street Fighter II (6-button or fight stick), Doom (mouse & keyboard), and GTA III (any modern dual analog controller).

'fighting sticks' are just arcade controllers which you see the same standardised layout on other arcade machines but with just some of the buttons plugged.

The iBuffalo has mushy face buttons that feel really cheap. The Saitek 990's has a better build quality, but the d-pad's worse and sometimes they have cheap rubbery plastic on the analog sticks.

As for the wired Logitech Wingman as well as a Sabrent, Sabrent fell apart instantly and the Wingman's better for SNES/Saturn games than N64(mainly due to the L/Z trigger being mapped to the slider), but has plastic analog sticks that can snap in half easily(but there are guides for 3D printing new sticks for them)

Still waiting for that dual-analog Saturn controller from Retrobit.

If you want a new, modern controller, this is by far the best option out there. The button layout is weird and for fighting games, but if you're playing 2-5 button retro games, that doesn't matter.

So, if I went first party for a general use, what would you fags recommend for linux? An xbox or a PS controller? I've been using a Logitech F310, Buffalo SNES, and 1st party Wii controllers.

the 360 left stick placement is objectively superior ergonomically compared to the sony model, question really is do you accept inferior stick placement for the convenience of not having to switch out the controller whenever you want to play a dpad game.

I used to use this too for a long time but the 'RB' button stopped functioning properly 100% of time and needs a good push to work so I gave it to my brother for multiplayer shit. I got the next model and I love it. It's got much better plastic, feels better in your hand, the d-pad isn't as stiff it's perfect for a d-pad player like me and the analog feels smoother too. It's got way better build quality on everything really, even the buttons. It's got a ramble pack too which is awesome. It's wireless which I know vr loves but desu I like wrapping myself in a blanket and feeling comfy.
It's such a good controller for both emulation and not. It's just a little heavier that the wired model, obviously, and costs more, obviously. Bitch doesn't even come with rechargeable batteries or a charger, you gotta buy those yourself.

I'd say the white one is the king and the dark blue one is the prince.

Yeah, sometimes. There's times where it will mess up for like 4 seconds and act as if you are holding an input.
Maybe like once or twice every 3 months, discounting when it happens because of dying batteries of course.
I've reliably done S ranks on Cuphead and played Celeste (and other input heavy games) with no hiccups on it for very long hours straight and have had no input lag or dcs.

Just remembered you can't have audio in vr making the video almost pointless but I worked on it so may as well lol
Wanted to show how smooth the d-pad and analog are, and the rumble pak. It's also got a dedicated vibration button for uh... cutscenes :^)

SNES controller. it's so comfy to hold. I made a SNES to PC adapter using an arduino.
>pic related
it uses a software "driver" (ie a program that reads the input from serial) to send out key commands to the OS. works pretty good. haven't tested input lag but there isn't a lot happening on the arduino side and my code is mostly efficient. the SNES driver is written in python though.
I had an NES version too but I took that apart but it's mostly the same setup.

I just got this for my emulation box and it’s fine. Wanted something that would let me remap the paddles on the handles to other functions but you can’t which is annoying. The d-pad is fine but kind of slidey. I can push the dpad to the left and right in the plastic slightly which isn’t too noticeable but sometimes it’s fucking annoying. Not a bad controller but wish I waited for it to go on sale.
