I use a Dualshock 2 controller connected to my comp with a USB adapter thingy. I have the D-pads be the same, Start be the same, the analog stick be the left analog, the C buttons be the right analog, A= X, B= O, LR are the same, Z is L2. For Zelda games, I move C up to Triangle because I would accidently hit it in place of an item and awaken Navi. Plus, C up is also first-person, and Triangle is first-person in MGS, so it's muscle memory.

I like the n64 analog stick over the playstation ones, they're too loose and my thumb slips off them. The 64 controller does have kind of a cheap hollow feel though.

I dunno how the saturn doesn't have enough good games, considering you can get a saturn pretty cheap I think it's worth it, even if all you buy is Nights, panzer dragoon 1 and 2 and astal. . .

3DO, and PS1. I have a few PS1 games, but I have no urge to really do much collecting for it.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel about handhelds. The only way I can play them is if I use the Super Game Boy, GC Game Boy Player, or I play them on an emulator. I do have a Nintendo DS, but that thing is so very rarely used. I pretty much only use it one time a year. (AWA, to fight all the noobs on Jump Ultimate Stars.)

Neo Geo Pocket Color and Wonderswan Color I do still want. NGPC has SvC:MotM, Last Blade and a few others, while WSC has Pocket Fighters and Guilty Gear Petit 1 & 2.

I've been getting rid of almost all my older handheld stuff because it can all be emulated perfectly on the PSP. Not only that, but the screen is bigger and brighter AND has the option of TV-out ( I have the 2000 model), which addresses the other point you raise. It is so much more convenient (and portable) to carry everything around on a memory stick, and you can still enjoy all those games that are well designed for portable play. Game Gear, NGPC, and Lynx games were never as enjoyable on their original systems as they are on the PSP.

There is an adapter that enables you to use Playstation controllers with dreamcast. There is a Saturn controller adapter also.

Tandy VIS is the only system I am not interested in. For 1 real game its not worth it.
The next systems I am trying to get are the Colecovision, Odessey 2, and the nuon.

I have no desire to collect any pre crash consoles, this will go against popular opinion but I have no interest in the NES or SNES apart from Zelda and Super Metroid there are no game I want for them that I can't get on the SMS and SMD.
