Joypads or "PiPads"

[rich_tech]

Can anyone recommend me a decent joypad for gaming on the pi (I am thinking non-xbox360 related here)

 

I am having masses of fun with my Pi and its emulation at the moment, though I am finding that using an xbox 360 joypad is a drag as its overly complicated for the older games, anyone recommend me some old arcade style joypads ?

 

Thanks,

 

Richard

You can get some classic styled ones on ebay, modeled after NES and SNES controllers?

Cheers I will be ordering myself a couple of SNES pads on payday.

 

Loving the power of the Pi 3 here so far, emulating dreamcast stuff is pretty outstanding for such a small computer. Soulcalibur 2 on that platform was one of my favourites, and I am also partial to the original Shinobi on MAME, seems I am now able to play every game I ever had or enjoyed in my childhood and store them on a single computer the size of a credit card, just need to get me a massive micro SD card to store it all.

The 8bitdo bluetooth ones are supposed to be excellent (sfc30 / nes30)

I use a Saitek P150 with my Pi running the full RetroPie distro. D-Pad, 6 button + 1 on each shoulder. They're old though so getting a new one might be hard, plus it's wired.
