    I got it working once. But it took a huge amount of effort.

    I've been doing some google-ing and apparently there's a driver disc with the wired controllers? I never got 1 anyway maybe that's the problem apparently the drivers are on windows update though monkeyfudge did u get it working on the pc or specifically with mame?

    I think it was Lego Star Wars that I was trying to get it working with.

    I ended up have to use some 3rd party software to do it.

    Both the wired, and wireless controllers are supposed to work automatically with Vista when that comes out in a month or so.

    Currently, it's just the wired though. With the play and charge kit, XP sees the controller but can't find drivers for it.

    The wireless controllers will also work if you have on of these adapters:

    Used a wired one on my laptop before, no real problems, used with a PSone emulator.
