Any quality controller should work fine for you...as long as it works with Windows, it should work with an emulator. I've always been partial to Logitech pads, because they always seem to just "fit right." Microsoft does offer an XBOX 306 style USB controller that's pretty nice too.

do u have to configure it in each emulator...?

From my experience with emulators, yes. Each emulator is it's own program, therefore you'll have to set it up within each one...but it's usually an easy process. Most emulators I've seen, when you're setting them up, walk you through the process by asking you to press up, then down, then right, then left, then whatever button you want to be "A" or "B" or "X" or "Y"...so you just follow along, pressing the buttons and in a few seconds PRESTO!!! you're setup and on your way to slaying Bowser or hacking up bushes with your Zelda sword

On a side note, emulation is the only form of piracy I fully support, and that's only because you can't get the systems OR the games new anymore anyway...and buying used does not put money in the pockets of the original designers/developers, so they're "dead products." Nintendo, as far as I know, will never make another dollar off of an original NES system sale or someone buying a Paperboy cartridge off eBay...

But anyways... There I go, ramble ramble... Have fun playin old school classics!!

Weird... Do your gamepads work with "normal" windows games? Or have you only tried them with the emulators? Might be that you need to download a driver or some controller software from the manufacturer, because if Windows doesn't recognize the controller first and foremost, then any game or other program won't either. Gotta make Windows happy before you can make the games happy Lemme know if you find out or know if Windows is "seeing" your controller and the brand/model of your controller(s) and I'll see what I can do further...
