Your #1 source for cheap plastic crap :-P I dont' think it will last though =/ You could also try to order from TigerDirect or DealExtreme, but it will take awhile to get the joysick because they ship from China

What controller? Might be able to take it apart and replace the rubber contact pad for cheap.

I got a chinese el cheapo saturn style controller. It was awesome when it worked. The right side of the plastic t underneath broke off! I tried duct tape but it bends too much and I still can't go right. The piece that broke off still is there under the duct tape so I guess I could glue it back on but that would break again I think. Any ideas? Maybe a splint of some kind?

take a water bottle cap and cut it up into pieces. then glue each piece ontop of each other till you have the right size and then glue it to the controler. then heat the glue and scrape off the excess glue and it is brand new!!

That is brilliant!
I hope it works. I am heading to a bar to watch crappy college football, then it's arts and crafts time.
Pics to follow

I hope so too but it will have to wait.
I will be back next week and can give it a shot then. I hate using the keyboard so hopefully I can finagle something together.

shweet. alternately you cna get a wired xbox 360 controller and install adriver for it and use that. its good for 4 button games or less (Street fighter gets confusing because you have to use the trigger buttons)

sega would be a pain too and they cost too much for something i only do occasionally. They are comfortable and I want one some day but hopefully I can fix my pos.

i use a wireless xbox 360 controller on mameui. alternately you can take apart a controller and just line up the buttons how you want and then make a case for it. (hard but awesome because its custom) although it will look like shit.
