NES Controllers:

  1. Am I allowed to use an aftermarket controller but still play on an allowed console/emulator? I'm assuming yes, as it's on an allowed console/emulator

Retro-Bit USB Adapter (ties in with the first question because I will be using an aftermarket controller): 2. I'm planning on buying a Retro-Bit USB Adapter (here: https://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=158) and I would like to know if I have to download a software to make the buttons on my controller press certain keys on the keyboard that are binded in the emulator settings, or, press the buttons on the controller to bind the controller to the emulator. The second way doesn't seem right to me because in Niftski's 8-4 IL TWR, he had both the controller and the keyboard controlling Mario, which doesn't make any sense to me either, because on controllers with a USB port, you have to assign the buttons on the controller in the emulator settings.

Thanks! :D

  1. You can play with literally ANY controller you can even think of

  2. Niftski uses a program to bind controller presses to keys just to keep his keyboard binds when switching (it's JoyToKey btw), but you won't need to. You can just bind the inputs directly in the emu

Nah, I'd rather use the program. But thanks anyway! :)
