Default PC/Megadrive controller!!!!!!

Is there such a controller which is based on the mega drive pad but is compatible with a pc and therefore usable with the emulators and roms?

Any controller that you can hook up to the computer is compatible with emulators and ROMs. I use a PC controller that looks sort of like this, and it works fine:

That looks like a ghetto PS2 controller to me.

Lol, yes pretty much is, but like DarthBrady said, it's for the computer. They just copied the PS2.

Mine doesn't look exactally like that, but something close. Mine's a little fatter.

I didn't have any use for ny XBox 360 controller, mainly because I haven't bothered to play on it yet. But I've learned that the XBox 360 controller is about the most comfortable joystick U can find for emulation ....

Independent thinking is hard work and not worth the time.

True beauty lies within. It's why so many people are downright ugly.

At least its not something too obvious, like an N64 or Gamecube knockoff.

Do they sell those, or did you find a way to attach it to your computer?

My guess is it's some sort of adapter that lets you use it. I know they have adapters for other controllers like that.
