How to Control Super Mario 64 on PC

"Super Mario 64" is the Nintendo 64 game that brought Nintendo's long-running "Super Mario" series into the third dimension and revolutionized platform gaming in the process. The title ditches the traditional side-scrolling "Super Mario" action in favor of wide-open three-dimensional landscapes filled with challenges and puzzles. "Super Mario 64" was never released on PC but can be played on a computer via emulator. If you've got the game up and running, the next step is how to control the action without Nintendo's distinctive N64 joypad.
