(As well as the other reviews for this product. I have also never owned a SNES although I had enough friends who had/has one to get a feel of the controller, though I haven't handled an official one in nearly 10 years.If memory serves, this controller feels at least 99% identical to an official one, though I can't comment too much on the authenticity or do a direct comparisson, although there's enough feedback elsewhere praising it's authenticity including a Youtube video review where a guy spends a good part of it picking up this one and the official SNES controller and playing with the buttons commenting that they feel identical. #Snes emulator mac osx 10.12.6 Pc#Having previously used generic PC USB controllers in the veign of a PS2 controller, you never get the feel of an official SNES controller even if you have the basic button layout. I bought this controller because I, like most other reviewers use SNES Emulators a lot and wanted a more authentic SNES experience. #Snes emulator mac osx 10.12.6 free#It only took two days for standard free delivery, too. #Snes emulator mac osx 10.12.6 Bluetooth#There are Bluetooth versions of this controller that will do the same thing, but they cost well over twice as much. ![]() It can also be similarly configured to emulate your Megadrive, NES, Master System, PC Engine, GBA controllers. All I had to do to get it running was open the Preferences window in Open EMU and map the controls to the Buffalo controller, which took all of 10 seconds. I tested the Buffalo controller on a Mac running OSX El Capitan. If you're a casual/regular gamer who loved the SNES/16-bit days and you want to experience that again, this is a great device. ![]() Just one caveat then: If you're a dyed-in-the-wool SNES purist who insists on 100% authenticity then steer clear. For the price of a few pints at the pub this is a purchase and a half! all that muscle memory is there just waiting to let rip again. The ability to edge your way with pixel perfection around a Mario Kart track, or weave through a space minefield whilst powering up a super shot in R-Type III. Contra III, which is a mess on keyboard and no mistake, is just superb with this controller the difference is like night and day. Street Fighter II (and Turbo, and Alpha 2) play sublimely. This controller brings all those glorious SNES days back! Finally I can last more than five seconds on Super Ghouls & Ghosts (12 seconds now!), but what's really interesting is that my feeble 'can't play console games with a keyboard' brain is properly freed up to appreciate those awesome SNES graphics and sounds again. ![]() The downside to emulation of course, is using a keyboard instead of a joypad, which makes playing console games a pain in the backside as a result I've never really had much fun playing emulated SNES games (apart from RPG's and Bomberman). I appreciate emulation (been using it on and off since 2002) for giving me the chance to play games I was never able to find then and couldn't afford now. The face and shoulder buttons are great they're just the right thickness and feel like they do on an old SNES joypad, and the Start & Select buttons have that SNES fleshy-plasticy feel down to a tee! however don't let those things get in the way, this replica is accurate when playing games!įinding diagonals are no problem, you'll be performing hadoukens and spinning-bird kicks with ease. Also the cable is not as long as on a traditional SNES controller, maybe slightly over 2 feet long. The D-pad is slightly more raised, and it's a little bit clicky! its lighter too, and the plastic perhaps cheaper. This replica from Buffalo although really, really good, is not quite spot on. I still get to play on SNES consoles and I'm familiar with the weight and feel of an official control pad. ![]()
