    Just found my memory stick with ROMS for MAME and copied them into the Dir folder. 62 working games from Shinobi to flying shark, 1941, commando, golden axe, bubble bubble etc etc class!
    Need a joy stick that wont break the bank (will realisticly not be used too much or for very long) but needs to be fairly good for those flying games. Is there one out there?
    Thanks

    Had one years ago but it didnt react fast enough for avoiding shots in Flying shark in particular (resulted in the joystick being forced too hard and breaking:( ),
    Thats why I was looking for a recommendation for a good one that someone out there is actually using and works well on the pc.Ta

    Worth the money :) Also you could start getting into street fighter 4, nothing wrong with that :P

    You could use a PS3 or 360 pad but to be honest they work well with 3D games but are **** for old 2D games.

    For old arcade games on MAME I use a PS2 joypad to PC converter e.g. this one. I think it works great.

    Can you buy any of these converters in a shop?
