the PS2 controller would work for the N64 games?

Post by: Matty on August 24, 2008, 03:57:48 PM: you can easily get adapters so you can use a 64 controller too. emulators are pretty good they allow you to set-up the analogue sticks some even support rumble pack for a proper n64 experience. plus the graphics get upscaled for higher resolution monitors 8)

Post by: Mr. O on August 24, 2008, 04:05:11 PM: I bought a logitech control pad from best buy. All you have to do is customize the buttons.

As for emulators, search through google.com.

That converter looks good, you can connect 2 pads, I can connect only one :P I bought mine used from a friend a couple of years ago & it works just fine.
