I bought one of these off of the RetroZone website and it arrived in a fairly short period of time. It was sent to my brother's house, so I'm only just getting a chance to try it out now. I must say, it definitely performs well.

I've tested it to work with three different controllers. An original Nintendo 64 gray controller, an InterAct Superpad 64 Plus, and a Performance SuperPad 64. The official N64 joypad seems to work the best out of the bunch, but the others are supported and operate well. It's just the left and right look that seems slightly buggy. Perhaps I'd just need to reset the controllers, since I used the Nintendo one first. Since I don't have any intentions of using those anyway, it doesn't matter too much. The official pad fits in nice and snug, receives a signal from each button, analog stick feels good (may need to adjust the deadzone a bit more), and finally allows me to play N64 games the way they should be played. Bye-bye keyboard gaming!

I also didn't even realize it before having the product in my hand, but it's designed to resemble a miniature Nintendo 64. Very cool.

thanks for reporting, Wreck! and glad you can finally use the N64 controller for emulation
how's the rumble and mempak beta support tool?

[Wreck]

I haven't actually downloaded the beta materials from the website. I don't have any use for the Mempak for emulation, and don't own a Rumble Pak, either. It might be nice to check out at some point, however.

One thing that really sucks about this, but I think it applies to the keyboard as well, is that you can't aim diagonally. What I mean is, if you bring up the sight and attempt to look up and to the right, it won't move. You can only look in one direction, not a combination. I don't know if it is a "too many buttons used at once" kind of thing, or something deeper.

Other than that, it really is working great. It makes it feel a heck of a lot more like the console. Sometimes I forget that I'm supposed to use the controller, and catch myself using the keyboard when the game first begins.

That sounds quite bad. It shouldn't happen, in my opinion. It never happened to me with any controller adapter, not even with KB. I suggest you start diagnosing it with the Game Controllers control in control panel. See if both axes can be read at the same time.
