Writing a NES game day 6, a new controller

Hello here, as I was able to move the Mario character that I have on screen to the left and to the right, I wanted to know if it works the same way with a NES controller. You know, making the experience as close to the real thing as possible for future testing.

I wanted a NES USB controller, but I live in Argentina and getting some things is kind of complicated so the closest thing that I could buy was a SNESlike controller but It will do (there is no option).

It is a cheap thing that I would not use for hardcore gaming but again, it will do what we need here.

At first I thought that it was not working but FCEUX needs you to configure all the buttons in order to work.

After that, everyting was smooth and working so I will be testing this with the new controller (and why not use it for Final Fantasy?)
