Hey guys. I've been looking to purchase 2 controllers and an adapter to play on pc. Im currently using the xbox 360 controller and as good as it is, it just isn't the same. I did some searching online and found this adapter: http://www.amazon.com/GC-Controller-Adapter-PC/dp/B0089NVTDM

Anyone know if will work fine? Also, what is a good price for a gamecube controller in Canada? (either online or instore). Thanks.
When they see MC Probe, all the ladies disrobe.

Check out http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/smash-bros/446915-guide-how-to-play-melee-online and http://smashboards.com/threads/dolphin-online-melee-netplay.335432/.

First question: most likely; second answer: new controllers are on Amazon for like $35-40 USD

Make sure to get the real deal when it comes to gamecube controllers! I've had a shitty experience with the cheap "gamecube-compatible" controllers.

I bought two official controllers for $63.90 total earlier this year from http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017KIBAI/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, although it looks like I got a crazy deal because the price has almost doubled since then

In my experience it's definitely worth it to get "real" controllers though.

KDJ has one of those mayflash usb to GC adapters but he says he prefers to use the xbox controller because it has less input lag than the GC controller through the adapter. Elen said in chat that the delay on the adapter-GC set up is around 13ms which is a little under 1 frames and the delay is very minimal but still noticeable.
I've read people on smashboards saying raphnet is superior to mayflash adapters and I believe raphnet is canada based (not sure on this just that I think their website was based on canadian dollars). The brand new japanese white controller on amazon started out at like 25$ I think but last I saw them, they had hiked up to 64.99$ X_X I have one new one and one used on I bought on ebay for 19$ and while the control stick is sort've loose the, LR analogs work much better than the new white controllers and overall it wasn't too bad of a purchase.
I think though, if you are trying to get those really meticulous joystick input tech skills like that haxdash stuff the new controller would be much better!

I had that Mayflash adapter, but it stopped working suddenly.

Get the Raphnet adapter instead: http://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/gamecube_to_usb/ Raphnet is indeed based in Canada, so shipping should be cheaper for you. It's worth the extra money.
