quick question, hope someone can answer this. i bought a logitech controller (like a playstation controller but it plugs into the USB port on a computer) for playing roms on emulators. my first attempt at using it is with ZSNES but it doesnt seem to know there's any controller in there? like when i go to configure-input #1, my only choices are [none] and [keyboard/joystick]. anyone know what to do to get it to use the controller?thx.

It's a joystick, technically. Just pick that and set up the keys.

How much was it and is it any good? I want to get a controller sometime soon.

Edit: Do control/analog sticks work on ZSNES?


i bought a nice controller (nyko airflow) from radio shack for 25 bucks i think? seems like a large initial investment but it OWNS

playing the emulator with a gamepad >>>> playing with keyboard. it's just like being 12 again, i swear. i am considering buying another for two player ;O

edit: i use zsnes. are you aware that znes has enabled network play? one of the coolest features, imo

sure id love to play mario kart, got a usb controller like a week ago myself especially to play snes roms for.

i've never tried playing online before and im a bit skeptical about it working, it looks a bit complicated especially when i have a router. anyone who wants to test it out with me my msn is ket1984@gmail.com (oh and also pm me for gmail invites). The default port for it seems to be 7845? that's whats filled in by default so i set up port forwarding on my router for that port? tips are appreciated

hm i just tried snes9x and perhaps the video options are wrong by default and my attempts to set them made it even worse but games run in a tiny part of the screen and when i go to the "stretch to fit screen" option it makes the graphics pixellated and a bit horrible. on zsnes i didn't have to touch any settings and the games/colours look beautiful and as they're meant to.

snes9x always had more advanced features then zsnes, such as anti-aliasing and more robust netcode. I think it even supports true multiplayer (more than 2) now. However zsnes always had better performance/compatibility, and was usually the first to support odd roms that had custom processors put into them like some of the street fighter/mega man games. But on todays pc's, snes9x will run just as well as zsnes, and is probably a better choice given the more advanced netcode.

the thing that sucks is you can only use one controller ( at least i could) it wouldnt recognize my other controller in the 2nd usb slot

good then ive been using the better of the two
I havent tried looking for new roms for longest times, at least 3-4 years and most of the sites i used to go to seem to have died, so what are the good places to look for now?

I've been using Zsnes with 2 controllers for months. It's so fun. You'll never regret buying those controllers.

Anyone who isnt familiar with snes games will never want to play those. Especially anyone who doesnt naturally like RPG's.

Games he'd probably like:
Mario Kart
Bomberman series
Kirby
Kirby's DreamCourse
Gradius 3
Contra
Act Raiser 2
Donkey Kong Country 1-3

I want to say thank you, for that I was so angry when I couldn't figure it out, I was ready to try to get my money back from amazon...,

I couldn't believe what a dummy I was & how easy it was I hope that we can tell others about this when they are buying theirs too.

Are you fucking kidding me? Where the fuck is Super Metroid in this? I grew up having nightmares about this game.

Killer Instinct was addictive too. AWESOME COMBO!! ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA........
