Does what it is supposed to do.. [Posted on 2008-06-19] Plug it in - Win XP installed without a flaw - little configuration in ZSNES - and away we go.
Beware of bugs [Posted on 2008-06-22] i bought this controller to make gaming more fun, and was disappointed for two reasons.
1. the "Blaster" or "Blow Stuff Up" type games i like really don't operate well with this controller. i should have purchased a Joystick, or a Gamepad. Lesson learned.
2. THIS IS IMPORTANT: I BELIEVE THAT THIS GAMEPAD INFECTED MY COMPUTER. about a week or so after i plugged it in, my computer became noticeably SLOWER. i didn't know why, and it bothered me. i have two programs to protect my computer with no problems. then i heard a podcast interview of a government guy about Cyber Security. he noted an investigation into cheap digital picture frames made in China and sold all over this country. it seems that these picture frames, which rotated photos uploaded from your computer, were infected, no were actually MANUFACTURED, with a secret program which "took over" your computer and made it do things you never wanted them to do. like attack web-servers, or hack sensitive sites here or anywhere around the world. your computer becomes a "ZOMBIE", working in concert with thousands of other "zombie computers" to do malicious things. a slower computer was one of the warning signs. i had never heard of that, but it made sense. i removed the controller from my computer and will never use it again. i used my Windows Vista System Restore and haven't had any problems since. here's what i advise: beware any cheap gadgets made in china. think twice before you plug it in to your computer. i know china makes everything now, but if its a NEW product, and it hasn't been on the market long enough that i hasn't been thoroughly tested by others, and if its so cheap that its hard to see how anyone is making a good profit on it, except if the product has its own HIDDEN agenda, I WOULD STAY AWAY!!!
Logitech Controller [Posted on 2008-06-26] I bought one of these to try it out, and I loved it so much. No driver needed, and it worked well.
Then I bought one for my girlfriend, one for my brother, and another for myself (for multiplayer games). For some reason, two of them just stopped working. I don't know what happened.
Does not work with GameTap [Posted on 2008-06-29] Not Active X apparently, so it's not "that simple" as the marketing copy claims. I'll have to find another use for it.
Works great, excellent value! [Posted on 2008-07-21] I've had this controller for a few months and I am very satisfied with it. I use it to play emulated Sega Genesis, NES, and SNES games on my Macbook Pro and I have had no problems so far. The controller feels sturdy and very comfortable in my hands. Highly recommended.
