Does anyone know if they make a video game controller for a MacBookPro and if they do which is the best one to get? I only really play, really old nes games (zelda, pitfall, super mario bros.) so the controller only has to have 2 buttons and a directional pad. I would prefer it to be 2 handed controller but any would do thanks for the help.

bradcj : Most USB controller should work with a Mac. The problem is that the RGR plugin does not. Unless you are running wine or emulating Windows in some other manner.

I recommend any of the Logitech controllers. They make several models. The one I have (which is pretty common) Model F310 is a dual analog that cost me about 25 us$. It's similar to a PS3 controller and works will all emulators.

There are a few that are like 5$ cheaper, but you might as well get something that's compatible with anything in case you want to play other systems.
