Hey folks. I've been tinkering all day with Nintendo emulators playing some old favorites, and I was wondering if there was any possible way, or any emulator I should ask that will recognize my Xbox 360 controller so that I might configure it to be used instead of having to play these games exclusively on my keyboard. Can anyone give me any help or ideas to work with here?
Oof! I can discuss emulators here, right? I'm a little rusty on the rules regarding that stuff.
Ah okay. With this particular emulator I found the option to do so. I just had to select my input as if it were an SNES controller and then I just configured all the buttons accordingly. Hmm, I was positive that would be more difficult. Now to try it for the regular Nintendo games.
You need to fix all your controller problem with the program XPadder.
Seriously. This and your 360 controller, like me, can become your best friend. You can bind anything from the keyboard or mouse on your controller. So this truly means that everything can be controlled with XPadder. You can even make macros with it and things that can be very useful if you care.
Latest versions are not free, so ignore these. The latest free version is all I use and its golden.
XPadder, eh? I'll check it out. I've actually gotten my controller to work just fine now for my SNES emulator. But I'll be sure to check it out anyway, you wonderful shiny man!
Xpadder was the one I was talking about the other day that might fix your joystick problems.
Emulators aren't against the rules as far as I know, just make sure you own the game.

Anywho. I have a whole tub full of SNES and regular nintendo games but my systems stopped working a long time ago. So I play on emulators a lot. :thumbsup:
Trying to remember some really good games to replay.
Funny thing is how I got my xbox controller to work better on my emulator with games like Killer Instinct than I ever was able to with Half Life 2 and Portal. Explain that!

Old games don't use joysticks? and if you did get them to work, then uhh... i dunno.
I can't get the games to save. I keep having to start all over again, which is really aggravating.

There should be something like "Save State" and "Load State". Regular methods of saving don't tend to work. This ways better anyhow it just saved no matter where you are.

Well you're just programming the analogue to work like a direction pad as all old paddles had.

The analog sticks we have today work vastly different from the ones we used to have. The older typed ones were essentially a D pad with a joysick attached, the new ones actually have sensors to line up every precise movement. A lot smoother moving and aiming.
anyway Xmapper or Padder or something like that should word. It lets you sort of... calibrate your analog sticks. You have a circle you're aiming for and a circle that needs to fit right in it, you move it around and set it when it's perfectly in the middle. If I remember right.
