Paid Members FLips Posted March 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2011 I've just ordered a wired 360 pad and the N64 emulator I just tried runs perfect so I can have me some WCW/NWO Revenge action, how easy is it to configure the controls? anyone tried and had any problems?  The D-PAD isn't amazing, rather small actually. It works though and does a fair job. To configure it is really simple, and works a treat with Project64 (assuming that's the N64 Emu you got). I play NWO Revenge with it, and No Mercy among other things.  It's in the options in the program toolbar and the 360 pad just shows up from the list of pads to pick from. Choose it, and then at the side of it there will be a button that says "define" or something. It will then say "press input for left" and so on. The way I have it set out is like this -  N64 --- Xbox Analogue Stick --- Analogue Stick C-Buttons --- Right Analogue Stick Start --- Start A --- A B --- X D-Pad --- D-Pad Z --- Y Left Trigger --- Left Trigger Right Trigger --- Right Trigger  You have to plug the pad in before you start the emulator however, or it may not recognise it's plugged in.

You need something called Daemon Tools to fake their being a disc in your pc. It's free and pretty easy to use. You also need a load of BIOS files to run it properly. They're all easily findable but more complicated than running stuff from cartridges. The games are also a little harder to get as there was a lot of bad rom dumps when I tried. I can't remember if it needed XPadder too, which meant that the Emulator can't use control pads so you use Xpadder to configure buttons to your keyboard. So for example you use Xpadder to make your WSDA keys left, right, up and down on your control pad, then in the ps1 emulator make WASD left and right and so on. So when you press a button on the pad, it makes it think you're pressing the keyboard, and then ps1 thinks you've pressed a button. It's all a lot harder than it sounds, but if you did download a PS1 emulator and needed help, PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted March 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 Has no one thought of going on ebay and buying a sega game gear for much cheaper then? The Game Gear was 8 bit Master System technology not 16 bit Mega Drive. They also have awful battery life, aren't incredibly portable, only play one game at a time and will only play original cartridges so I'm not sure it's a comparable substitute. What about the Nomad? That was portable Megadrive technology, but let you plug in a control pad for player 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gaffer Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 The Nomad never saw the light of day in PAL regions though and didn't go anywhere fast in other regions either. As far as I know it's region free, though. It's fugly as fuck, too. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireBrand Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Quick question while we're talking about retro games, can anyone recommend me a good usb joypad for my Pc what I'll be able to use for playing old Rom's I have on my computer? I've got hundreds of MasterSystem,Megadrive,Snes games but my hand keeps cramping up having to use the keyboard.  http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Xbox-360-Accesso...-%28Xbox-360%29  We've just got two of these at work for lunchtime MAME on a pc and they're absolutely superb.  Wired 360 pads work too, and might be more useful to you if you prefer the stick to the d-pad, or if you ever feel like getting a Playstation/Dreamcast/MAME/N64 emulator or whatever. They're plug and play too.   Thank you all you guys a question I keep forgetting to ask and it has been answerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've set it up using the configuration you put and it worked perfect when playing Mario Kart 64 & Goldeneye but its failed on all the wrestling games.  When I get to the option menu on WCW/NWO Revenge ( and all the others, World Tour, No Mercy etc ) I cannot scroll through the options like Exhibition, create a wrestler etc. I press up or down on my analouge stick but its not moving, like I say it works fine on the other games I've tried so far.  Any ideas?

Different games have different control layouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladstones Bitch Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ahh I hadnt configured the D-Pad when I done the rest of the buttons, bit of a dunce out moment from me I was wondering why the D-Pad wasn't working. Â Cheers for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted March 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 Man, this thread has got me stupidly excited, blatantly want to get my hands on one of the above bad boys. I think I'm actually tempted to go for the megadrive one, looks less fucky abouty and sounds like a shit load of games are available, I just want me some road rash and skitchin. Â To the poster who said they got a massive memory card with 1000 extra games on, where on earth did you get it from, did it come with the console, if so where from and how much? Sorry if this has been answered, I'm on my phone and it's being a nob whilst I try to read posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Might as well go here, as it's handheld-based: Are HMV's 3DS pre-orders the same online and in-store? I like the console + Rayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
