But three buttons in a row isn't as awesome as shoulder buttons! Well you can always get more emulators.
Three buttons in a row was awesome! Fortunately what I have to emulate are all SNES games.
As long as you have a USB adapter it should work fine. Genesis games are a little weird since those controllers had the three buttons in a row, but it's not bad.
I don't have a corded Xbox controller, just the battery charged one. Hopefully I'll be able to do it with my PS3 controller no problem since it came with a cord.
We just use corded XBox controllers. They work well! I considered getting USB modded NES controllers, but the XBox controllers work for all systems.
I still need to test out hooking up a controller to the computer so I can play an emulator that way. A couple of games on my request list were things I could only get through emulators since I either don't have the system or there's no US release to speak of.
My dad gave away most of the Genesis games. BJ and I hooked up a computer to our TV though, along with some XBox controllers, and downloaded a few hundred emulated games though.
Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo? I'm coming over.
You can own or not own whatever ones you want! I'm not a PS3 racist; I have friends who are PS3s! I have SEGA Masters, SEGA Genesis, SNES, N64, GameCube, XBox360, Wii, and a few handhelds. My grandma gave away my Atari when my mom got me the SNES (I had a lot of games too!) and my dad let his friend "borrow" my PS1 and then he broke it. I was considering getting a PS2 to play Kingdom Hearts though.
I think you're the first Final Fantasy fan I've talked to that doesn't like the PS3. Which consoles should I own and be ashamed for not owning?
