Ttown, you've been very helpful

Damn, sucks you don't have a controller already. That's the most expensive part if youre buying new.

If you are keeping it simple with NES, SNES, Genesis and maybe some arcade roms, then this is the best controller I have played with hands down: Buffalo SNES controller It's the most responsive controller I have played with and that includes a ps3 controller.

If you are going to add psone games or any other system that uses more buttons than that buffalo SNES controller has, then get either a ps3 controller or possibly try a 8Bitdo NES30 which are very popular. I have never tried the NES30 controller so I cant recommend it from personal use, but it is a popular choice in most forums and gets great reviews.

If you don't want to spend that money, check local pawn shops or Goodwill too. You can usually find cheap PS3 or 360 controllers there.

Make sure the micro sd card doesn't already come with an adapter to fit it in the sd card reader on your computer. My Samsung did and I didn't need a separate reader.

Emuparadise and Coolrom are popular ones. For ease of transfer later on, create a separate folder for each console and drop the downloaded roms in the correct folder. So create an NES folder and place all NES roms in there. And so on for each console to keep them separated. This way, when it comes time to transfer the roms over, you can open the NES folder and highlight every NES rom and just copy & paste them to the NES emulator without SNES or other console games being mixed in.

My bad, misunderstood. Most Roms will DL as zip files and you don't have to open them. So when you DL a nes ROM, it will show up in your downloads as a zip file. That's it - that's your ROM. You don't have to open it and you'll end up just copy & pasting the zip file into the emulator.

Edit: so create an NES folder somewhere and place all of your NES Roms, which will all be zip files if you DL them individually, into that one folder so you can just copy & paste in the emulator all at once when that time comes.

Ok one more stupid question

Let's say I'm good with what I've downloaded and I transfer everything to the RP3. Am I locked with what I have or can I go back at anytime and add more games if I think of more?

Oops didn't mean to down vote. Lol

That's awesome. Thanks again

cool list of sports game. I'll take it. Thanks for sharing

You up and running?

In game you have a delay? I haven't noticed that and I have two. I did notice a delay in 360 controllers, but not these.

Did you accidentally map the controller incorrectly to have the buttons enverted? Not sure on this either but it should be however you mapped it when you first logged in. One of the option menus had a reconfigure option and you can remap your controller. Maybe do that and try again.
