Playing Super Mario with an xbox controller is awesome.

open project 64, start your game, click options, click configure controller plugin, if you have the right driver installed theres a little drop down menu bar that says "none", click it and it should have the controller listed on it. if theres nothing there then you dont have the right driver/plugin for that controller. once you get that make sure the contoller plugged in box is checked and you can set up your controls from there.

Yeah I got that far. The dropdown says PS3sixaxis or something like that. I click on that and try to change the controls to the buttons on my PS3 remote but it won't let me. I checked out a few of youtube videos to see what was up, turns out I need to download a couple of things first. Probably do that later today, gonna be sweet.

you have to buy an adapter for the wirless controlers. I spend 20$ for a wired one. But its worth it i can play any game for any system before "xbox360,ps3,wii" including DS handheld, og xbox & ps2

where did you save the file/ application that was downloaded? you may have to run it before the load option appears

Some times its good to go with the company that actually makes the 2 electronics you are trying to cross.

I plugged in the Xbox controller.....
Windows has detected a new device...
Searching for latest drivers....
divers installed " Xbox controller ready for use"...<< actually knows what it is

lol...

And now my PS3 remote won't even stay on

Yeah I already ran it.. Maybe I should try to reboot again and it will pop up.

The application doesn't open now.. lol.. I'm gonna start all this over again.

it has to be wired... "no detachable cable" those are wireless with chargers

I have a wired one from the first xbox. It might be a stupid question, but do the first xbox controls have the USB port? I'm not a xbox player ha.

I don't think so they kinda look like the old doublebarrel shotgun plugs

 

[KidneyStoner420]

I love my NES, SNES, and Saturn emulators.
I went with the old school nintendo controller for the laptop though. Then i just run an HDMI to the TV

Yeah, I found mine and it has the shotgun feature. Damn, back to trying to get my ps3 remote to work.

Nope. Yeah, I downloaded the 64 bit (which is the one I need). I'll probably just go buy an xbox controller tomorrow.
