Hello everyone, I'm not sure what category this question would fall under, so I just placed it as Tom's Guide. Anyway, I recently was watching some old N64 video games gameplay, so I feel like playing old titles again. I've looked into the ROMs and stuff etc, so looking on Amazon, I've found this N64 controller that is compatible to the PC. Now does this thing work for N64 roms? I really don't know about this whole ROM thing, but yeah heres the link to it.

Solution
From what ROMS I have played on for the N64 you were allowed to set your own controls. pretty much just plug it in and once windows recognizes it, start binding the controls to whatever you want. I have done this with an xbox 360 controller.

Pretty much all game controllers adhere to two standards, directinput (older winxp standard) and Xinput (newer x360 standard) This way the emulator can be programed to just these two standards and work with a variety of different controllers. Most emulators will allow you to rebind keys, so even if it's not perfect you can usually get it there.
