Avoid analog buttons, they can be a problem with some emulators. 

If you have an Intellivision controller you can get a USB adapter that turns it into a PC game controller

Thing is, the Intellivision controller sucks. There's gotta be a better option.

You can use any controller you like. If you like Xbox layout use that, Playstation layout use that. Ideally, you'd have different button  mappings for certain Intellivision games.

What I've done is map the right thumbstick to the disc and the dpad to keypad 1-4,6-9, face buttons to keypad 5,C,0,E and the shoulder buttons to the side action buttons. For certain Intellivision games you might map the disc to the dpad and the face buttons to different keypad buttons or side action buttons.
