i cant seem to configure my microsoft sidewinder properly to work correctly with any emu's except project 64.
the others work to some extent but i get confused trying to set them up, i have tried several emulators for n64 and i can only use proj 64 , this works with many games but id like to use some of the other 64 emulators i have
is there an adapter too use an actual n64 controller on th pc?
