Which SNES USB adapter to get?

Post by Ziggy »

There's a few choices on eBay, and I wonder which one to get.

Smart Joy

"The Original"

I'm leaning towards the second one, it just looks better. Any one own one of these?

The Smartjoy is getting a bit rare now but it's the one I have and works fine. I'd reccommend that one.

I also have Smart Joy and I highly recommend it with emulators. The only thing I didn't like about it is it didn't work for me when I was using it for MUGEN.

Hell, thats all I needed to know. If the Smart Joy works and doesn't break after a few weeks, then that's the one I'll get. Thanks for the help guys!

On the subject, any one ever get one of these NES USB controllers?...

They look pretty cool, but every 3rd party controller I ever owned broke very shortly. There was also a 3rd party SNES controller that I bought brand new that didn't work out of the box!

I have one SmartJoy and 2 of the RetroZone USB adapters. Both work flawlessly in every emulator I've used. :D
 (FC, AVFC, NES, SFC x2, SNES, N64, GC x2, Wii x2)*(G&W x7, GB, GBpocket, GBASP, DS-L x2)
(GEN, SS x3, DC x3)*(PCE-Duo)*(Xbox:500GB)*(NGCDZ, NGPC)*(PS1, PStwo, PS3:160GB, PSP.3K)
