Nintendo64 and Gamecube controller USB adapter

vincent-

Hi!!!

I'm thinking to buy this USB adapter to use Nintendo 64 and Gamecube pads on the computer. But I don't know if it works under Linux. I think that should use joydev module, but I'm not sure...

Anyone knows if it works?

Thank you in advance.

man, that's a lot for an adapter. I found a 3p wired xbox 360 controller for $10-15 at fry's, that should have all of the buttons you need to play emulated N64 games or whatever you're doing. That would be cheaper than spending $29 on a N64/GC converter.

If you want that adapter, the controller would just be detected as a typical HID controller so yeah, it should work pretty easily.

I have N64 and Gamecube controllers

And..., I think that Gamecube controller is the best gamepad ever.

Your N64 controllers are still holding up? Those sticks suck so bad, I've never had one last more than a few months without becoming a flimsy piece of crap. I bought an N64 at a garage sale last summer and I had to sell it on craigslist 2 days later because I hated that controller so bad, it's just way too awkward. How did I love it so much 10 years ago?

The gamecube controller is nice though

I'd be interested to know if anyone has gotten a decent NES/SNES controller working under linux with those games.

I've had the biggest urge to either get those games working with some emulation thing or MAME or whatever
