So i’ve been playing genesis games on my pc with this emulator. Its pretty sweet except I can’t seem to find a good usb controller to buy Using the keyboard sucks to play classics like nhl95 and mortal kombat. I’m looking on ebay but all of them seem to be ps2 replica remotes for the pc. Anybody know if they sell adapters to make genesis remotes work on pc’s, or if someone sells a usb genesis style controller. ---
