The Adaptoid is going for well over $100 on eBay right now, so that's completely out. And the generic PSX/N64 adapter apparently doesn't actually work with the N64 controller accorder to reviews and feedback, so what's the next best thing?

I have a knock-off MadCatz PSX USB controller, but I need a knock-off N64 one. Thanks.

I will probably get shot for this, but I find a regular PS2 (dualshock 2) controller works fine for N64 emulation - if that's what you're intending to use it for of course

(Make sure you get a decent input plugin like Nrage as well.)

I have one of these and it has served me well for years.

Wow. I bought an Adaptoid a couple of years ago for $25. Didn't know they were going for that much these days.

I think they quit making them several years ago, and there aren't too many floating around this day and time. But I expect them to go for no less than $150 on eBay right now. That looks about right. I've tried using my DS2 knockoff but it just feels off to me. I guess I can get used to it though.

So is there really no N64 knockoff for PC? Has Nintendo kept 3rd parties from making one or something?

I've been using an Xbox 360 controller. It works nicely.

I got my adaptoid way back when for like 25 bucks as well ... I also have this

and it works alright .... no rumble though

 

[Raw64life]

In that case, off to eBay my adaptoid goes. I still use it occasionally but for $100+ I think I can part with it.

i have a guillemot T_LEADER 3D, not USB but does the job fine, closest to a N64 controler on PC i saw so far, both in the look and in the feel.

 

[BobTheFork]

Or... use a N64 controller... thats what I do. Why substitute???

Get a N64 usb adapter, and controller aren't THAT hard to find yet.
I had two of the adapters since i didn't know how long they would last. The first lasted 3 weeks, the second is 6 years in and still being used for paper mario and goldeneye

Hmm? Mine works fine... maybe somebody forgot to switch it into N64 mode?

I just bought 2 of them, 1 of them was fine, the other was defective.
Sent the defective one back, and waiting for the new one to arrive.

By defective I mean, the buttons kept getting pushed, and there was no way of stopping it.

The analog is kinda iffy still, but I can fix that in the n64 emulator.
I'm mostly using the controllers for the digital pad though.
(MAME games, nice having 6 face buttons and a GOOD d-pad.)

Correct answer.

 

[MutFox]

Correct answer.

Four face buttons and crappy d-pad say NO.

 

[scissorfight]

Has there been any release date for the PC usb wireless adapter for 360 peripherals...or is it still "holiday '06"?

It would be nice if something similar would be available for PS3 controllers. I'd like the ability to have both adapters plugged into my HTPC and choose either a 360 or PS3 wireless controller depending on the game.

The D-Pad was used about as often as the L-Button on the N64. The only game I can remember using it in was Mischief Makers.

For MAME?

Thanks for the help, folks. I didn't know that PSX/N64 adapter actually works with the N64 controller. I've been seeing all over the place where people claimed it didn't. I can live without rumble to finally get to play my Master Quest at 1280x1024. Thanks again.
