Here's my profile for the project 64 emulator. This uses default controls. Includes emulator shortcuts in the command set & has a default config.
Other than that, nothing special. You'll probably want to use the built in support for analog control. Also, I realise that project 64 has great built in support with one exception, it doesn't separate the Z axis for the triggers (when using MS drivers).
Apr 06, 2015 Assignment of mouse and keyboard functions to Xbox 360 gamepad controls in WoJ Emulator 1.6 Sorry guys, this video was recorded when my teeth were on reconstruction.
Which would give you problems in games when you need to use the left & right triggers simultaneously. Here's a nifty little trick some people may not know. I remember playing GOLDENEYE 007 on the 64. It had a setup option that would allow a player to use 2 64 controllers (one in each hand) to play with analog control for movement/look. That was kinda weird & I'm not sure if other games had this. But project 64 will allow you setup a single controller as player 1 & player 2 simultaneously. So you could play certain games ( I'm not mentioning any roms here:lol: ) with your 360 controller & have analog control on both sticks.
Now that is pretty damn cool!
After six years of less than stellar performance my Logitech Wingman joystick has suddenly become invisible to my computer. I reinstalled it, still does not appear on the controllers list. The red light on it is out, switching to other USB ports makes no difference. I guess it just died in the night.
Since I was never particularly impressed with it especially on games with corners, Lady Bug, Ms. Pac, etc., as it never reliably steered where you pressed, I'd like to know what others here who play games on the computer, the old style games using emulators, have had happy game playing success with. One can get really fancy with ones that actually match joystick and buttons like you remember from standing in front of a game back in the day. Are they worth having? I'd like to stick with something small like the Logitech controller versus the Hotrod or the big black one whose name I can't think of, starts with a X, and has two joysticks and a truck load of buttons. That is overkill for the space I have to work with.
Thanks for any helpful thoughts everyone. You must be thinking of the. They're certainly fine joysticks, and are the best option if you're looking for controllers for a MAME cabinet (now that HanaHo doesn't seem to be around anymore), but most of them are too large to be practical for desktop gaming. After trying a few different options over the years, I've finally settled on using a PlayStation 2 controller connected to a USB adapter. It gives me more than enough buttons for the games that I play, it's a good solid controller, and it certainly wasn't expensive to buy: about $12 for the controller and $5 for the adapter.
I'll get myself a proper PC-compatible arcade joystick eventually, since certain games are better with a joystick than with a gamepad (for reasons I've explained ), but for casual use, my current setup suits my purposes.

Thanks for that, though I have no idea where to go to buy a Playstation 2 controller, or an adapter. Even if I find them, how does the ps2 controller communicate with the computer? I have never used a joystick that didn't have an installation disc. Does that come with a ps2 controller? Please excuse my ignorance about the new style controllers as the 7800 is the newest console that I own and the Logitech came from Future Shop six years ago after simply asking them for a decent joystick to use on my computer to play old style games.
The clerk was no older than the games I wished to be able to play on the computer.sigh.getting old, so old. I use a PS3 controller too (well its a PS3 not a PS2 but they are basically the same). Here is some info: I'm not sure if I used that guys driver.
