My mom gave me $20 that she owed me and I decided to go shopping for a USB Xbox controller. Well, as it turns out, they costed $19.96 at the cheapest. And after our 6% sales tax, I wouldn't have enough. So we (I had my sis' new boyfriend with me) looked at all the controllers they had. The ones designed specifically for PC was only $0.90 cheaper, so I still didn't have enough. In our last run through, we found USB off-brand PS3 controllers for $11.something (it is a Snakebyte). So I got it. Upon arriving home, I plugged it into our computer. Windows automatically detected it and installed the correct drivers for it. The first thing I done was played this 18 Wheels of Steel game. The main purpose that I got the controller was for emulation. You know how hard it is to play SNES games using a keyboard? It's near impossible. But after configuring the emulator and mapping the buttons, it worked out fine. Now if there were only a way to prevent the computer from going to sleep during emulation (like temporarily disabling sleep in control panel, but that'd be too easy). So tell me: what do you guys emulate, if anything; and what do you like using as the controller?
