Reddit mentions of Hyperkin "GN6" Premium USB Controller for PC/ Mac

>it dosent work well for me in certian emulators

I have a separate set of controllers that I use for emulation purposes. Examples:

• N64 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008L3UUPS
  
  
• Sega Genesis - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KX75UT6

The ones I got on Amazon appear to be sold out, but here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KX75UT6/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The adapters that were linked are an option. Never used one myself though so don't know if there are issues.

Other options would be this Saturn replica pad.

Or this Genesis replica. These should also work fine.

Hyperkin controller, not a Retron 5. $16 or so.

So far i got my LaunchBox installed and working, BigBox License will be bought eventually.

Gamepads, i got the Xbox 360 pad, but i don't really want to use it for retro gaming, that just doesn't hit the right feels for me.
Instead i got these two 8bitdo Pads here.
Love the SNES one, the NES looking one with the sticks i don't really use but i like the novelty of it.

Just ordered this NES looking 8bitdo pad
i would prefer if it the button layout was identical with the NES (2 buttons instead of 4), but wireless takes priority and the 8bitdo quality seems really good so far.

I also ordered a SEGA Genesis pad from Hyperkin, from what i read this is the best quality mockup that is available in my region.
I've seen one or two others that might not suck but aren't available and i've seen a few more that are obvious trash.

What i'm really looking forward to are the SEGA/retro-bit wireless controllers they showed at CES 2018.
I know retro-bit quality has always been hit and miss (especially the PC USB pads seem to be trash level), but they are licensed by SEGA now, i'm confident they will put their A-Game forward here. But no idea when those will be released or if they will even make it to Shops in Germany.

...
as far as Emulators go, i'll use whatever makes the ROM start.
I'm really not happy right now that some Emulators (i'm looking at you BizHawk 2.2.1) need BIOS files that are not supplied to start certain games, just makes stuff pointlessly complicated and the next Emulator starts the same ROM without bitching.
The nice thing is that i can tell LaunchBox which Emulator to use for which ROM, but at some point i would like to be confident when i click on one of the thousands of Icons in LaunchBox that the game will actually start instead of it being always a gamble.


...
i also started a little bit of rom hacking (romhacking.net), like taking the PAL Super Probotector SNES ROM (a.k.a Contra III) and changing it to NTSC for 60FPS and re-enabling the cheats that the JAP version of Contra III originally had.
Now i got bunny eared robots and 30 lives to actually play this game the way i want.
The 50FPS PAL versions feel a lot more sluggish in direct comparison.
Thankfully there are few games like Super Probotector with changes worth keeping in the PAL versions, so i default to the NTSC versions most of the time.

oh, and maybe i should mention the PC i'm playing on, so here is the build-log -> https://imgur.com/a/FBDEo

i'm also thinking about building a retro PC for some Win9x gaming with some old parts (Voodoo3 2000, Creative Audigy 2ZS) i still got sitting around, but i kinda got stuck on this whole Emulation thing the past few weeks.
So the 3Dfx / EAX capable Win9x build with CRT Monitor will have to wait a bit longer.

I feel dirty playing NES or SNES games on it but it gets the job done. Also the d-pad isn't as good as the original Genesis controller.

Ok, buy a couple retro genesis controllers off amazon. Download a genesis emulator for PC and download a road rash ROM. You should be able to configure the controllers with the emulators, all you gotta do now is connect it to your TV using an HDMI cable. Yes you’ll be playing on PC, but the experience should be virtually the same after you set it all up.

$11 for a controller

Your point isn't exactly correct. You don't need a PC for each person - local multiplayer isn't something that is completely unheard of on the PC - go to this link and enter "PC" as the system for a small taste of what is available - note that this just covers co-op games.

You can still set up a PC to be hooked up to your TV, connected to wireless controllers, and to play a multiplayer game together. For the most part, it doesn't require much setup, as modern PC games tend to auto-detect controllers. Add the benefit of the PC being able to emulate almost all of the classic systems (the Xbox and Xbox 360 being very notable exceptions), the potential of using custom USB controllers (such as N64 Controllers, NES Controllers, or SEGA Genesis controllers), and the cost of a PC comparable to the XB1 and the PS4 (about the same price), it can act as a very potent, cost-effective multiplayer machine.
