The adaptoid is the absolute best and most complete N64 controller adapter available for PC... if you can get hold of one, that is.
Apart from Direct-X support, it has it's own access library which sees use in a specific input plugin for n64 emulators so controllers are accessed directly (including PAKs of any kind), and also offers additional functionality like a "dexdrive-like" drag'n'drop game note manager from within windows explorer for your controller paks. |

Myself and numerous others (including wreck and subdrag) ordered adaptoids from the site which was "selling" them (ztnet), which has now disappeared along with many people's money. Ebay is probably the only place you'll find them now (and expect to pay a LOT for one). The N64/PSX adapter does the job well enough, I've used one for years plus they're pretty cheap.
The drawback with the N64/PSX adapter is it won’t work with all n64 pads: only 2 of my 5 official pads work. It's pot luck if your pad(s) will work. |

I might have to just order one of those. It's pretty obvious that our Adaptoids won't be arriving in this lifetime (or in any other), so I might as well go for something that I know I'll actually get. I have two official grey controllers, and two other third-party ones. Hopefully, it'd work with one of those.

I have one of those, from before I got the adaptoids, and only nintendo controllers have a chance of working well.
third party ones never worked for me, and not all official controllers work nor the working ones work all the time.
One thing I experienced with mine is that it seems to work better if you give it a good "heat up". Leave it allways connected and it will probably not cause so much trouble. |
