Granted I have a little crappy $10 joystick, it naturally isn't very compatible for my gaming needs. It works ok for regular nintendo and gba, but as the systems get more advanced it gets a little more worthless to me. Even for playstation and n64, the directional pad doesn't work well at all. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good joysticks. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Try finding one of these <a href='http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?page=products/details&contentid=6951&countryid=9&languageid=1' target='_blank'>http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?page=pro...=9&languageid=1</a> in whatever store you may shop at for yah gaming needs. Also search online at modsites and hte likes, for simple coverters that alowe you to hook up an playstation contral to it, then it to you're PC.

Make sure before you buy one of those convertors that it is compatible with your OS!!

www.lik-sang.com is good if you need converters

Thanks for the help everyone.
