Use with PC platforms

Windows

XInput wrapping

Acting as native DirectInput controller, it's possible to use any of the generic wrappers. See the controller article for those.

Hardware

Raphnet-tech Virtual Boy controller to USB circuit

No drivers required. Implements a standard USB HID device.

Compatible with Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.

Adapter has two configurations for the right D-Pad. Default: Right D-Pad as buttons. Holding the (sᴛᴀʀᴛ button when connecting the controller lets the right D-Pad control a pair of analog axis.

Bliss-Box Gamer-Pro

Directly compatible with PC. No driver needed, just plug and play.

Steam

Can be recognized as Xbox 360 controller but after manual assignment. Controller cannot be found in Supported Controller Database, so Steam recognizes it as standard DirectInput device.
