I'm sure I'm not the only one that isn't trying to play super metroid on an xbox controller.

After a few goes at it, I was able to beat the game with 100% in an hour and a half. With a SNES controller, I can beat it with 100% in just over an hour. There is a silver Xbox 360 controller that has a better D-Pad than the others, but I agree with most people on this thread in that the original controllers can't be beat.

Also, I'm lucky enough to have retained most controllers from when I was a kid. Also, ask around! I've gotten many controllers by taking dead systems off of peoples hands. Stores won't take the dead systems, whereas I'll happily throw a few bucks for one. I took a dead SNES and had a guy make this for me:

Yep, that's mine! I want to do one for all my favorite systems, then put a little computer with Hyperspin for each one. One day....

How well does that perform on a Cab though?

Ron and trublu you US boys find entire cabs on the side of the road or for $20 in yard sales. :P

Lol I did just pick up two cabs and control panel for 99. Stay tuned I have a retro controller encoder in the works.

That's still impressive. My best time was 1:28 and that was years ago on the real deal. I gave up on speed running using the xbox controller, although there seems to be a LOT of really awesome tricks discovered since I did it.

You are lucky. I'm from New Orleans. I lost my precious collection in 2005.

That is beautiful.

Please write a very detailed how-to.

Lastly, I also agree originals can't be beat. But I certainly stand by the Wii Classic is a surprisingly good alternative, and I like the fact that they are still in production.
