I use a ps2 joypad to play on emulators and the controls have always felt exactly right, because they are, infact even better because i can use analog for shmups and whatnot so i don't know what josh is on about. As for them being boring, that doesn't even make sense.

You play shmups with analog? What's that like? I play everything with an arcade stick so I guess when I use it with emulation it's almost like using an NES Advantage.

 I'm not a bad enough dude, but I am an edgy little shit. I'll do what I can. |

The only shmup I can play with analog is Gradius V. It just doesn't feel the same to me anymore.

It got me into shmups. I don't know what made me want to try it, but I am grateful that it did.

For everyone talking about funky controls I suggest this.
The only thing I don't like about emulators is that I have a hard time playing any game for a significant amount of time, I always end up loading up the next one to see what it is. It seems like on the actual hardware I play a game longer.

I play all my games with the Logitech Dual-Action (Except for anything that benefits more from keyboard/mouse controls, and consoles). It's a cheap and durable gamepad that's great for NES, SNES, PSX, etc.
EDIT: No, "cheap" and "durable" aren't nessecarily opposite.

Can you get a double one of those? i've got the same kind of thing only it has two playstation sockets.
I think when you've got so much choice at first it's hard to settle on one thing. With emulators you have a choice of pretty much every game ever made for that console.
Emulation offers many advantages, not just that it's 100% cheaper but i also don't have to deal with ebay douchebags and i can be switching between playing dodonpachi and working and listening to music all on the same unit, with the tv on in the background.

GBA emulators are nice because you don't have to look at a small screen. Though you could use a Gameboy Player I guess.
I always play with either the keyboard or a controller shaped like the PS2 controller. Not great for fighting games, but I just suck at those anyway.

Like I've mentioned before, mapping the A & B buttons to the far right of the keyboard and the D pad to the far left and holding the keyboard like a giant controller is always entertaining. I beat Japanese SMB2 that way.

I suppose if you do that with a laptop it'll be like a giant gba sp.

That is true, same thing goes with my iPod. I can't seem to listen to a whole album anymore just because it's too easy to switch albums. I think technology is giving me ADD.

My problem is the opposite. I have a lot of something suddenly available to me and I'll spend all of my time on just one. I have actually paid for games that I have yet to play.

Uncharted II is still sitting on my shelf unopened from when it first came out. I have had the time I just chose to play other things instead. Once FF XIII is done its on to God of War III, then back to FF IV: The after years. Then I may pop it open.
