lol wut?

The first thing Keith mentioned was using an emulator on the Wii. Hacking, at least homebrew, is implied.

Raphnet has adaptor circuits available to build your own adaptor from TG/PCE controller to USB:

He also does a circuit for adapting various controllers to the Wiimote accessory connector:
http://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/brd_extenmote/index.php
I wonder if he would be willing to include TG/PCE support into the latter one if requested.

On the Wii Virtual Console, I either use a Classic Controller Pro, or the NES Classic controller for TG/PCE games. I also got a Hori Digital controller for GameCube.

The GameCube's stock d-pad beats the Xbox 360's d-pad by a big margin.
The PS2's d-pad is OK. But the original PS1 controller has better feeling buttons (as long as you don't get an ALPS manufactured one, marked with 'A'), since it lacks the pressure sensitive layer of the PS2's Dualshock buttons.

I bought my Turbo setup several years after I had everything emulated on the Wii.  And I actually really like the Wii classic controller.  Rondo of Blood plays like a dream on the Wii.  But I still wanted original hardware, because to me there's something about playing on the original hardware.  It's like this was what the developers intended, even though I know it would be more accurate to say this is all the developers had to work with.

In other news, the Gamecube D-pad is indeed awful, because it's about half the size it should be.  I used to use a PS2-to-GC controller cable, but there was a little bit of input lag so it really wasn't much better.  That Hori GB Player controller looks amazing though.  I'm sure I'll end up hunting one down, because I won't have the good judgment not to.

While I haven’t used it, the NES Classic pad should work phenomenally. I use the Wii TVC stick on my SNES Classic with no problems.

I use the Raphnet adapter for GameCube to play GB/GBC/GBA games, it's great and relatively lag free compared to some cheap ones I got years earlier.

Good to hear about that. I got his N64/GC to USB adaptor and it works just fine as it should.

there's absolutely no real reason to own anything, especially if it doesn't do anything extra for you.

the reason I own stuff is due to my particular brain - if I have everything available to me, I won't interact with any of it for long. This is just a thing I know about myself! I like being able to go and browse my collection like it's a game shop, look at the covers and manuals, and figure out what I want to play that way.

But for most people, honestly, there's no point in owning a bunch of physical objects that just take up space.

I need to do this to my Wii. It just sits there gathering dust. I agree I will have to do something about the controller. A controller adaptor might do the trick.

Yes. Mod your Wii. That’s the proper way for it to collect dust.

I love the PSX controller and pad, but that's because I've been using it for 20 years and I am used to how it hurts my f*cking thumb so I just don't feel it anymore.

Its not same, even when using an everdrive. There is something very satisfying about sliding a huey in, and sliding the power switch on and having the intro immediately start.

My Xbox is loaded up, The Wii is loaded up, my PC is loaded up, and the Turbo Duo is loaded up with an Everdrive. No point in artificially limiting yourself really when the other stuff is relatively free. :p 

And yeah while I'm a fan of shoving in a hucard.. I've been doing that for decades and now some of them are getting flaky. I'm fine leaving in the ED.  :D

1st party Gamecube games - there isn't a better controller.

But try playing Legend of Zelda with that tiny d-pad. It is impossible...

I would be happy with Saturn (Japanese style) controllers for Wii/Pi emulation.
