Joypad Poll

I thought this might be a good idea, for seeing how important joypad support is for fan games. I prefer using a joypad, because you get to Mario as intended. That doesn't mean I hate the fangames that use keyboard and/or mouse combintions. I'm thinking of imtroducing some multiplayer aspects to the fan games I'm designing, but am intrested to know how many people have equipment like the above.

Also, mention if you have more than one. I HAD two joypads, which were good for multiplayer games.

I currrently have a two joyticks, one game pad and a steering wheel.

pad and joystick (arcade FIGHTAN GAEM kind, not the lame flight-sim kind), though i wonder if this counts as a gaming trackball:



anyway use joy2key for those picky games, better than nothing

What games do you find the trackball useful for?

Logitech gamepad

Haven't got any games on here that I can't play on the keyboard, although I've got a couple of joypads around.

second keyboard for multiplayer action

i should really just get a gaming keyboard that'll take all combinations of keys :/

I certainly see how a seconfd keyboard would be handy in Mario War situation, although there is that huge ability to cheat.

Wii Remote + Nun-chuck configured for the PC.


The best way to do gaming, all on one controller!

sounds like AIDS

Keyboard + Mouse only.

i have an old-ass joypad that i use for nothing except as a media control.


it works well

360 Controller

the all-purpose gamepad

none in particular but it's more pleasant than a mouse for fpses (better ergonomics though aiming takes some getting used to), i could try a trackball game in mame with it but playing rampart or whatever doesn't exactly thrill me
