pc joypad?

[Bensons]

Has anyone got a cheapish usb joypad (console style) that they'd recomend for me to use with MAME?

Cheers.

play.com had a £6.99 usb 2 adapter which allows you to hook 2 ps1\2 pads to ur pc! works a dream

Aye ill 2nd that, the ps2 adapter from play was excellent, ps2 pads are cool

or if you want to go for the authentic arcade look....

Buy 2 cheap ass digital PC usb pads (£4.99 at PC world)
Source an old twin joystick arcade panel off ebay
Open up the two PC pads (so you just have the circuit boards with usb cable attached)
Then simply solder jump cables from the contact points on the PC pad circuit board to the microswitches on the arcade panel. Its very easy to do and works perfectly.

ps2 pads again pretty good for mame

might as well go the whole hog and build a cab if you going dirtygirls route as thats practically the hardest part
