Video game controller PC adapter?


Question Posted Thursday March 28 2013, 11:14 pm

I want to be able to play old Nintendo 64 games from my computer using a game controller adapter. But I'm not very computer-savvy so I'm not really sure what I need/am looking for?

I have N64, Gamecube, PS2, and Wii(includes classic) controllers. Do I need to buy a specific adapter to use one of them? Or do I need a whole new controller in general?

If possible I would like you use an N64 controller since I'm hoping to play old N64 games but I'm willing to compromise.

I have Windows 7 Pro.

Your best bet would be to buy a USB video game controller, because it would be compatible with all systems, and you could map the buttons to whatever system you are playing. The N64 would present a problem in certain games, especially with something like Goldeneye due the Z button...

There are adapters that let you plug the actual controller into your computer, here is one I found:

Here is one for gamecube, PS3, and XBOX:

Click around on amazon (or other sites) to find one that has the most systems you want.
