One that won't run me $36 clams? Or modding it myself?

Is there a joybox-type thang I can get? I mean, I could use a ps2 or gamecube controller, those are comon enough. But this is for oldskool emulation; I really don't want to be using a clunky controller fer that.

Or alternatively, any ready-made PC controllers that are just bitchin? I seem to remember my brother getting a sega-genesis style controller that was all white n sexy like that.

I got my PS2-to-USB gamepad converter for $10 at RadioShack. Actually, my mom got it for $10 at RadioShack after I begged her to buy it for me. That's how long ago it was that I got it, and it still works perfectly.

I'm thinking about getting one of those converters that has 4 Xbox ports in converter for MAME Ninja Turtles when friends come over. Has anyone else ever used one of these, and does anyone know if Windows accepts each controller as a seperate controller or as one, because that could cause problems eventually.

I thought about getting the PS2 one (still might, since I haven't bought anything yet), but most of my friends play Xbox so that would end up being cheaper in the long run.

Actually, now that I think about it, I could just go the 360 controller route. It's a tad bit more expensive, but that controller just feels good. It works really, really well with Crazy Climber.
