The Retrolink SNES USB Controller says that it works without drivers or anything, but then doesn't seem to work with any of my SNES emulators. Here's a link to it.
i tried it with snes9x and another one and neither seemed to work. When I plug it in, my computer doesn't recognize the device and troubleshooting the device obviously does nothing.

Guess the answer is that it was broken or is simply magical. But really it was just broken i guess.
- Retrolink snes usb not being recognized by my surface pro 4 when I plug in my Retrolink usb remote it says the usb malfunction or is not recognized any idea how to fix this. This thread is locked.
- Retrolink usb controller shows unknown device in device manager. Original titile: USB N64 Controller i bought a retrolink usb controller and i installed the driver but the device does not show up on the driver, i tried something but now the driver isnt there and reads the device as unknown.
Maybe I'll take it apart to see if anything specific was broken.

Tom PratsTom PratsThis might help a lot.
What you need: Oracle Virtual Box and a Windows XP disk.
Plug in SNES controller or controller that is currently not compatible with Windows 7 or 8. Install Oracle Virtual Box and XP inside it (if you don't know how to do this, there are instructions on youtube:
). Once done Windows 7 or 8 will somehow get the driver from XP and now you will be able to use a controller that was once incompatible.
