| What's a D-pad? Also, I thought you were the one who used gamepads for

It was me. I used the MS Sidewinder gamepad, this one:

However, since my laptop doesn't have a gameport, I decided to buy the 
one of which I gave the link. I still think the MS Sidewinder is a 
better gamepad though, but I found it a bit too expensive to buy a USB-
version as well.

This is basically the same as my Thrustmaster Firestorm Digital 3, but 
then better looking and more expensive (I paid only ?7). It also has two 
extra buttons.

I actually considered buying this one as well, but in the end I decided 
I didn't need the analogue thingies since I only play Super Nintendo 
games on my laptop. I also read quite a few negative reviews about this 
one. You're better off with the Rumblepad 2 Vibration Feedback Gamepad. 
It is a bit more expensive and has vibration and all in it which you 
probably don't need, but it's way more solid than the Dual Action 
gamepad, which is said to break apart after a few months.

| Meh.

| Persia)?

Well, that's something for yourself to think about. Do at least go to a 
store where they sell them so that you can have it in your hands and 
decide for yourself which one feels best. At the MediaMarkt they have 
quite a lot of them. And make sure your gamepad has enough buttons. I 
know 8 buttons is exactly enough for Super Nintendo games, but of course 
other games might need more.
