I am planning on getting a controller for Vizzed games, mostly N64 games.

What is a good, moderate price range, controller to get? 

I am playing a game on Armor right now (Phoenotopia, great game) that says I can use a X Box 360 controller.  Is that one I can use one VIzzed games?

And I play on the Mupen64Plus emulator, if that makes a difference.  The 1964 one doesn't seem to work on my comp.

Thanks!

And if this is the wrong forum to ask this, I apologize.

hellno163 :

Thanks for the feedback.

You're saying the X-Box controller does work with the Mupen em?

And is there any reason I wouldn't want to get a wireless controller?  I have a wireless KB and mouse and I have never had a problem.  But is there anything with a controller I should consider?

jimbrown257 : you should make sure that the controller has enough buttons, so an xbox 360 controller is a good choice.

The best and most cost effective option is the Logitech F310. It's basically shaped like a Playstation controller. and costs about 15-20$USD

This controller has a switch for both Xinput and DirectInput API's which not only helps it be compatible with all the Retro systems, it also is compatible for modern PC games as well.

Dual analog and all of that. Takes a beating too. Best value for your money I feel and have been using them for years.

Thanks for the tips everyone!

I just ordered a 360 wireless from Ebay.  It was $22 shipped.

The seller has no-questions return policy so if it doesn't work out I will try the  F310.

I think you need a specialized wireless receiver for xbox controllers.

Let us know if you get it to work.

Yeah the actual Wireless controllers for the 360 do not usually work right on PC if you try to use the USB/charger to connect to the PC. You need the wired 360 controller for PC, which is a little more expensive.

There's probably a way to get it to work on the PC, but I haven't tried it too much.

Jordanv78 : If I am not mistaken, the charge cables do not allow you to connect to PC like PS3/4 do.

I think you would need something like this:

Vanelan : Yeah, that's what I was saying. It doesn't work using the charge kit. I've tried it before. Just haven't tried it again in a few years.

The ps3 controller works well. I don't mean to bash on xbox users or anything, even though I like both PlayStation and xbox, the ps3 controller works better for vizzed because the d pad is amazing for all the emulators. The 360 controllers d pad isnt the best and wont work well with game boy games snes games etc. But if I where you, Id use whatever you find that fits you.

jimbrown257 : I have an x box controller as well and I think it is a great all around controller that can be modified to fit with most controllers, even awkward (not to say bad. I love the n64 controller) Nintendo controllers.
