The blessings of gamepad => PC conversion

Purchased Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones recently and was really pissed off about the jittery free-looking with my keyboard-mouse-setup.

Picked up a dirt cheap PS2 => PC converter and gameplay/free-looking is butta smooth bliss.

Also the finnicky button setup which I forced myself to get used to with the previous 2 POP-installments were easily forgotten.


Tried it with NFS-MW, but with racing I think I prefer short, digital, keyboard input.


Anyways, I'm probably pretty late to the table, but do yourself a favor, when playing platform-esque games on PC, and use a gamepad.

Wow, nice...i think.

Are you purposefully being cryptic with that million @ thps 2, though? :icon9:

Just buy a Xbox 360 wired control. They are USB and plug right in.

Only problem is they dont work on everything. I have one :D

But i also have an original xbox pad and a USB connector as well, and that works a charm on anything.
