Is there gamepad support?

Yes, but it has plenty of bugs on Generations. I had to buy the Xbox controller for PC. When using a generic controller, Sonic strifes to the left uncontrollably.

I haven't played every game but I know that adventure 1 & 2 , generations, and both racing games support gamepads

Yes, there is for most of the games.And the others can be played with a gamepad with software like Xpadder.

There maybe a chance you could, my recommendation is go to saitek website go to the support tab and ask them if they have a software download that would allow you to map the controls for the game you want before you buy it. This way you don't have a paperweight that you paid for.

Usually no . Only if the two players will get too far away from each other then the screen will split vertically.Still one player can use the gamepad but as controller only because in multiplayer mode the gamepad screen won't show the game scene.

These people say: Yes -- http://xforcepc.com/store/index.php/catalog/product_compare/index/ I'm still searching for more info though, because I had a gamepad that worked fine when Mac was 32-bit but now OS 10.7.5 is 64-bit and that gamepad driver no work anymore. I'll see what I can find out from CH and maybe more from link provided.

It's read as a generic input, so any emulator allowing button mapping (which should be all of them) should be compatible.. I used it specifically with dolphin, but should work elsewhere. I don't support emulation, and the only games I emulate are isos I rip off my own discs to play over the Internet Internet with friends.

No, unfortunately. To prove that, you can just look at the back of the game box. It tells you at the bottom the controllers that can be used for the game.

it worked for me with most emulators i played on mac. specifically there was a super nintendo one... forgot the name of it, but it worked splendidly on that. never got it to work with any playstation emus. also look into gamepad companion

I've heard of JoyToKey (google it), I'm not familiar with actually using it, but I believe it's a way to enable a controller to emulate a mouse and keyboard

I know this is old but what I have to say could help some people, there is a Minecraft mod that adds gamepad support, and it's really simple to figure out how to install it if you're tech savvy. I tried using this peripheral with the mod, and the controller worked flawlessly. It also feels very natural with the game.

No you don't. You can choice what controll use: the wii remote or the controll pro for a single player, anyway you can use the gamepad for a single player too.

As with most pc games these days, either will do. I've found having a game controller helpful in general, but not usually necessary. Good luck.

Not necessarily. I didn't buy a pro controller til later down the road. And its mainly for guest when they want to play with me. Other than that, I use my gamepad for everything.

Only when connected by USB. It doesn't work with all games and obviously the TouchPad won't work either.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit. Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

Yes that is correct. Be aware though that for some reason it may make your connection a little finicky dependent upon the device. For example USB drives may get weird errors, but a game pad controller will work fine. I am uncertain as to why that is.

Not that I know of. Usually games have an option for the circle pad pro in the control options (MGS 3 did), but Smash did not.

You can use gamepad, pro controller, wii remote (with or without wheel), or classic controller (and pro).
