Works like a charm on Win 7 64-bit. I'm buying another one!

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2012

Verified Purchase

I have a store bought HP Pavilion desktop that came with Windows 7 Home 64-bit. I love playing the older retro games but have never found a truly suitable controller for doing so. Sure, there are numerous USB gamepads out there, as well as the ability to use an Xbox 360 or PS3 controller in Windows. Personally though, I think the d-pad on 360 controller is bad. It feels mushy and imprecise. The overall grip position of the 360 controller when using the d-pad just doesn't feel right. The PS3 controller d-pad is better (and with a better overall feel), but it still just doesn't feel as good as it could for retro gaming. Not to mention getting it to work with Windows isn't a simple plug-n-play. It might not be rocket science getting it to work, but still.

Enter the Wii Classic Controller. I cannot imagine a better controller for these old games! I know you can buy replica USB controllers that look like 8- and 16-bit controllers but they lack analog stick(s) for N64 games. I jumped at the chance to order this adapter online. I was a little worried at the reviews stating that there are driver issues, incompatibility issues with Windows 7 64-bit, etc. But it's cheap enough that I figured it was worth a chance, and I could always return it if it didn't work out.

I just plugged it in a couple hours ago. Never downloaded any drivers, nor installed any from the mini CD that comes with it. Just plugged it in, let Windows do its own thing, and voila! Two different platforms (8 and 16) work fantastic. The feel of the Wii Classic Controller for these old games in spot on. I'm buying another one, as well as another Wii Classic Controller Pro to put in closet in case anything happens to mine. Getting both for roughly thirty bucks is cheaper than many USB game pads and this combo works and feels a million times better.

If you're tired of USB gamepads and/or current-gen console pads not quite cutting it for retro games, get this. Even if you have to buy a Wii Classic Controller to go with it, it's worth it and you won't look back.

Simply Does Not Work For Me

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2012

Verified Purchase

I purchased this accessory hoping for a more authentic gaming experience for the various video game console emulators installed on my notebook PC but have been sorely disappointed by its performance. After installing the drivers from the supplied minidisc and plugging in the product and my classic controller I thought I'd be able to start playing, but when I booted up an emulator the software (ROM) was running noticeably slower than usual and from the time it took from the press of a button on my classic controller to see a response on the screen was unacceptably slow and led me to make an obvious assertion: clearly there was a problem between the Mayflash USB device and my PC interfacing each other. I then tried every option I know of to fix problems relating to game hardware including updating DirectX files to simply un-installing and re-installing the drivers, which actually gave me some more unexpected grief; My PC gave error messages that read as follows:

"Unable to execute file 'C:Program Files (x86)\Mayflash Wii Classic Controller Box\Remove.exe' Create Process Failed; Code 2 The system cannot find the file specified"

and similarly:

"Unable to execute file 'C:Program Files (x86)\Mayflash Wii Classic Controller Box\Rescan.exe' Create Process Failed; Code 2 The system cannot find the file specified"

After some more time un=installing and re-installing the drivers* I was able to get this thing to work but after 10 or so minutes of brutally slow gameplay my PC gave me the classic blue screen of death error message!! My notebook's specs are as follows: Compaq Presario CQ56 notebook PC. Inside is a 64-bit Intel Celeron processor running at 2.20 GHz with 2 GB of RAM all running Windows 7 as the OS. It may be that this product simply is not friends with this type of computer because I've read many great reviews that eventually led me to purchase this accessory. Unfortunately I have had zero luck with it. I have even sent Mayflash's entire staff an e-mail concerning my experiences and have not heard back from them in over two weeks! I am sorry to bring down the customer satisfaction rating of what otherwise appears to be a quality product, but I have to let everyone that might be thinking of purchasing this thing to consider my experience and think twice.

*I have heard some fellow gamers suggest that I shouldn't install the drivers for this accessory as they are not required for "Plug and Play" gameplay that is the convention when most gamepads are plugged into any modern PC and they might be the source of my troubles, but if I fail to install them I get a little notification on my task bar that reads "cannot detect USB device"...The PC will not even detect this product if I don't install the drivers.

Very Satisfied, but Only After Reconfiguration

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2012

Verified Purchase

Some problems:

- It isn't recognized by the old USB standard (it only worked with USB 2.0 ports).
- For the best configuration, the included drivers must be installed (Windows XP).

When I got this device, I tested it without the drivers and was satisfied until I noticed some of my games did not work well (or at all) with the d-pad, while other games did. There is a built-in function for switching between d-pad configurations, but it just wasn't doing what I expected it to. The driver disc (included) solved the problem. It was easy to install. Then I just opened the control panel window from my start menu, and underneath "Game Controllers" the option was available for this device. I clicked on "properties" and I could see a button at the bottom for "Controller Mode" where I pressed it and selected "Digital" from the list and finally pressed OK. Next, I found the tab at the top of the window labeled "Button Re-mapping" which has the option to switch the analog sticks around (Axis Remap). By changing "Left X" and "Left Y" for "Right X" and "Right Y" -- I successfully created the configuration I wanted. Yes, it was kind of a pain to figure this out but at least I won't have to switch between d-pad configurations anymore, and it works well with all of my games.

Verwende Windows 8.1 x64 und hat sofort funktioniert. Außerdem verwende ich den Adapter noch in der virtuellen Umgebung unter Vista 32 bit im WMWare Player und dort wird der Treiber auch sofort installiert und es kann schon losgehen.

Beide Ports werden erkannt und die dort angeschlossenen Classic Controller funktionieren auch.

Das Gerät ist empfehlenswert.

P.S.
Mit ist aufgefallen, dass sich das Gerät nach einer Schlafphase des PCs nicht mehr anmeldet. Da muss man das Gerät aus- und wieder einstecken.

Funktioniert, aber nach einer Weile gibt es ständig "Phantominputs"...

Der Adapter funktioniert und lässt sich leicht installieren, für eine Weile funktionierte er auch ordentlich.

Leider registriert der Adapter inzwischen jedoch regelmäßig Input wenn kein Knopf gedrückt wird, nicht so oft, dass er nicht mehr benutzbar ist, aber oft genug um ihn zu einer schlechten Wahl zu machen...
