/vr/ - Retro Games

I had this shit as a kid, but I never tried to use it since I had no fucking clue how it woul even work.

I had a madcatz I won from a magazine for the PS1 back in the day, it looked vaguely like this one but it was green and less curvey.

Shit was actually really nice, had toggles to make the analogs mapped to the dpad so you could always use them. Was fucking wonderful for crash bandicoot 1.

>>470145

>>470145
Bought a pair of these last christmas when I was looking to get back into emulating retro games. Absolute pieces of crap- the analogs feel sloppy, D-pads seem sort of "loose" and the D-pad on one of them already busted after about half a dozen side-scrollers. Well, I guess you get what you pay for- they only cost 25€ for the two of them. Too bad all the quality replicas of retro controllers are always sold out in every store in my country.

>>470307
That looks like a really angry insect.

>>470195
I had the stripped down version of that controller with no extra functionality. I almost preferred it to the original controller since it had a longer cord and clickier buttons, but the analog sticks felt a bit awkward, which sucked since Ape Escape is my favorite game.

Meanwhile I actually prefer this thing to the original GC controller. It just feels so great.

Are there any brand you recommend?
HORI, Madcatz, etc. ?
Some you recommend avoiding?

>>470356
Fuck me, that controller was awful.

I have this cool Spider Man PS2 controller. It looks like shit but it feels so nice, and the dpad is godlike. Plus it lights up in the dark. Only downside are the shitty shoulder buttons. But the official controller's shoulder buttons suck too, so it's kind of okay.

Is the SCPH-1180 worth paying 15 bucks for?

How much is one of these worth?
I want one but the cheapest I can find it on eBay is $75.

>>470201
SERIOUSLY THOUGH ARE THOSE FUCKING BUBBLE LEVELS ON THE SIDES

>>470437

It's pretty nice, but I wouldn't pay $75 for it, especially considering you'll probably want to replace the buttons.

>>470451
holy fuck, I think so.

>>470451
Oh fuck, I just noticed that. I guess those are there so you can play games at a right angle or some shit.

>>470451
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?`

>>470371
hori usually makes great controllers. sometimes it improves on the original

This abortion of a controller

Capcom fighting pad solider. Scored it a few months ago with a sega lot.

Second row, first pad.

>>470545
I saw the Turbotouch controller at Savers today.. Looked pretty bad to use.. wasn't gonna pay $5 for it though.

>>470508
Thank you.

>>470550
Not terrible... but the pads do go out. We had to use it the other night because I only have one official Genesis 3-button pad, and all my 6 buttons wouldn't work with Golden Axe II, even after the mode button.

Well, it's for the PS2, but I'm still trying to figure out how his monstrosity is supposed to be used. Aside from committing Sudoku.

>>470545
Holy shit, I've had all of those pads except for the Turbo Touch 360. That pic brought a lot of memories to the surface.

>>470581
I first thing I thought when I saw that is that you hold it up, like playing a flute

>>470594
Saturn

>>470601
The mental image is too hilarious

>>470431
them analog sticks look gay

I wish I had one of these.

>>470621
Jesus castro, what the hell is that thing!?

Microsoft Strategic Commander

Worked for RTS games... The upper section slid around as a 360-axis on one plain. Owned one, traded it to a starcraft friend. Quite odd.

>>470642
Race controller. Analoged steering axis, brakes, and gas. Kinda neat, but very limited on games.

Never has a controller felt so awful. The worst part was the A button that hurt your thumb after a while, it felt so awful to hold, the shoulder buttons hurt your fingers, and the D-Pad was awful.

>>470431
there was a racketboy thread on that controller
http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19126

it had a third mode where it can emulate flight sticks. it's useful for flight sims and space combat games

"... WHAT THE FUCK IS --

Oh. It's the fuckin Wu-Tang Clan.

WHY DO I WANT IT?"

and then there's this bundle of joy, we thought it would be as good as a Wavebird, and it was cheaper to boot! I still regret that decision to this day.

>>470686
>SCPH-1180


The ability to emulate Sony's own PlayStation Analog Joystick by pressing the "Analog" button a second time to reveal a green LED (this was commonly referred to as "Flightstick Mode") provided a less expensive alternative to the FlightStick Analog Joystick and retailed for an average of US$35 compared to the Flightstick's retail price of US$70.
MechWarrior 2, Ace Combat 2, Descent Maximum, and Colony Wars were among the short list of twenty seven PlayStation Flightstick compatible games.

>>470535
that is fucking badaasss

Guys, let's stop with the Gamecube/PS2 controllers.

>>470716
...aaaaaaand there's this guy

my personal favorite

>>470716
>hide thread, move on in life.

>>470758
FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE!

>>470758
that looks bitchin

>>470356
Maybe it's just that I have the canadian EB Games version, the that thing sucked. The Sticks felt weird, the shoulder buttons felt overly chunky and unresponsive and the plastic just felt cheap to me

It's still 1 of 4 of my gamecube controllers, I really need to replace it already

>>470760
FUCK FUCK....FUCK

One trackball controller, bigger than most consoles.

>Can buy one for $20 in (hashed/mangled) box right now

>Still don't fucking want it.

>>470758
>>470760
>>470782

>>470581
It's just one of many
>Well we need to give this game a collectors item to come packaged in it, let's put a sword
>but that doesn't make sense it needs to have something to do with the game!
>But the game has swords
>I don't care, it needs to be vidya. put unusable buttons on it that do nothing but ruin it and make it look ugly

I think there was a resident evil/silent hill chainsaw "controller" that this did too
Just give me a fucking sword and chainsaw jesus

>>470815
>intel

>>470815
>looks like a long blue turd

>>470760
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

>everyone of these threads
Loved it.

play me

>>470815
Looks like a toilet seat

Is that a toilet seat?

Was this made so you can vidya while taking a shit?

>>470839
... What have you been eating?

>>470846
Your mom's pussy, what about it?

>>470851
that looks enjoyable

I also had this. It's not as bad as it looks.

>>470848
The looks like it'd be kind of neat for non-action games or rpgs

>>470815
>these controllers

Mandatory.

>>470758
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

>>470864
It was useful for RPGs and some puzzle games. I tried playing Parappa on it once, sucked horribly when you're mind and hand are use to the normal button set up.

Is your controller an F117?

I don't think so, kiddo

>>470871
How many games even required enough typing to warrant buying this monster?

>>470903
Phantasy Star Online.

>>470903
PSO.

>>470903
Just Phantasy Star Online Ep1&2, but because I loved the fuck out of the game, I had bought it.

>>470815
fleshlight(.)com/male-toys/male-gspot/rude-boy/

>>470884
Wait, if you held it on your right hand, all the buttons would be labeled upside-down, according to that picture at least.

>>470909
>Walk into EB Games
>See the N-Gage
>See Sonic
>See Rayman
>Want it so bad but never spend the money on it
I'm so glad I dodged that bullet. Aren't they trying to remake it nowadays?

>>470906
>>470910
>>470912
So one? Well okay
I always really regret never getting a gamecube when it was new and still not having one why is getting one so hard for me, PSO must have been pretty bitchin

>>470909
I had the N-Gage QD, it wasn't so bad actually. Just had like 4 games worth playing. Unfortunately somebody stole it from me in high school. I have no idea why someone would want to steal an N-Gage.

Then two years later something called the iPhone came out and we all forgot about Symbian-based phones.

>>470939
Sort of like a game-service or something on phones, and some phones which lend themselves to gaming, I think

>>470952
It was also the only reason to buy one of these.

I owned both the dial-up and broadband

>>470815
Looks like my neck pillow.

These were actually really comfortable, and they worked as well as a normal n64 controller. My family still has 3 that we've had in place of Nintendo's controller for at least 10 years, and they work great.

>>470871
I know PSO uses that, I was wondering can I get a USB plug to connect a GC controller to a PC and work on PSO2?

Am I the only one who has this controller?
>inb4 not retro

It's actually really comfy, the joysticks work well and the Dpad is godlike, and the shoulder buttons are basically the same as sony's

Unfortunately the buttons aren't pressure sensitive and they require a bit more force to push, but you forget about it 5 minutes into a game.

>>471016
Those were the only N64 controllers Walmart carried for quite a while

>>470895
oh god the way those buttons are alligned is making me cringe

>>471035
everyone says that Logitech makes shit dpads (like what they say about the F710) but they really are very fucking good

>>471010
Me and my friends had a few of these
You ever been to a lan party and play 16 player mario kart?

Because I think Myself and 15 (actually 16, we still had to fucking take turns because of one guy) are the only ones in the world to have done so

>>471064
I remember Warp Pipe and 'playing' some matches 'online'.

I really only remember getting disconnected after every other race, if I was lucky, I'd be on to finish a match.

>>471034
I don't know about USB but I have a PS/2 to NGC cable.

>>471064
We had these after-school "gaming clubs" while I was growing up because in a poor neighborhood not nearly everyone had a console. I remember having tournaments with other clubs from nearby neighborhoods with either XBoxes or GameCubes, usually with 16 players, either individually or in teams of 4.

>>471054
Agreed, I have one of the controllers in the pic and I use it for everything, the dpad is nearly saturn-tier. Pretty sure it has pressure sensitive buttons (I used to play MGS3 with it all the time) and it works on the PS1 without issues

>>471035
nope you're not

>>471142
That's for people with one hand.

>>470662
It's always the >>470192 race controllers being weird and extravagant. All those huge, one purpose steering wheels, WTF. I mean, I can understand wanting a joystick for racing games for the increased precision over a gamepad type device, but that's at least a multi-tasker.

the barracuda 2 was similar to this controller >>470431
and had the same features. (goodwill is an excellent place for retro games and accessories. I found a ton of shit there)

>>471170
Now I feel even more sorry for the disabled

they'd be better off with
>>470848

>>471259
Except what I posted only works for the all the pre-analog stick games.

>>471259
Imagine trying to play Doom on this thing.

>>471282
What is the logic behind that key placement

Why is U just by itself
Why why why

>>470815
Even this one looks better.

>>471390
i believe it's a one-handed keyboard marketed for people with disabilities

>>471054
I don't know about controllers, but they do make shitty headphones.

>>471390
Because it was calculated to have such a particular occurrence that it's just right to share a finger with the space key, with a longer extension requirement.

>>471390
It's almost by itself, "I" is with him.

From what I've heard it's actually comfy as hell.

Behold the king.

>>470145
wu tang clan ain't nothin to fuck wit

>>470405

When it's well made, that type of d-pad is the best. Goes both ways though, the ones that aren't well made are almost unusable.

>>470594

>>471685
I own one. It's not comfy as hell, but it's not uncomfortable either. It's just a little odd to hold.

And no, it's not squishy.

The Wico Command Control. This was the shiznit in the Atari days.

>>471839

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPkLLvkNxTA&list=PL17E14E77E3DF361C

>>471035
i have this one and its actually pretty good. wireless is good but i find the stick a little stiff even after its broken in.
>>471131
I have that one too and i hate it. The D pad isnt quite centered so pressing right falsely registers up.

Perusing this thread makes me want to get a good one-handed controller. I've done it with some NES games on Wii emulators, but never with PC. Any recommendations? I'd especially like one that allowed for movement (dpad/stick) and buttons simultaneously.

>>472313
Might just be yours, I've had no problems with mine and I play tons of shmups where it would be readily apparent

So many chumps here , no wonder of the current state of the world.

Suck MY tiny HARD COCK YOU DUM SHITS!!!!

>>470451
>>470483
>>470492
>>470502
Not even close. I took a pic of mine. This controller is awesome once you get used to it as your thumbs never leave the analog sticks. I wish they kept making these.

>>471390
But U and I are together.

:3

>>473076
What I did was get the Playstation Move Navigation Controller and hook it up using motioninjoy. Works pretty well for most things.

>>471272

>>470746
This thing is fuckin awesome. I played with it in an exposition once

This piece of shit right here. Cheap as fuck but reliable and sturdy.

>>474589
It looks disgusting.

>>473514
If these are not bubble levels, then what the hell are they? Just ornaments?

Any retro PC gamer will certainly remember seeing adverts for this one. I had a Gravis Gamepad at some point, but I only really used it for Jazz Jackrabbit. Other side scrollers (i.e. Commander Keen) just felt more natural on a keyboard.

>>475558
sorry, forgot pic

>>475559
Gravis also made the Grip Pad, which I thought was a good controller.
You could also buy a multi-tap style thing to have 4 controllers plugged in at once.

>>475559
Oh, I used to have one. I also had a Gravis Gamepad Pro(pic related). It was pretty nice that you could screw a stick in the D-pad to make it into a joystick, too.

>>475559
>>475579

I kind of wish I kept these, or that I had a present day usb version.

Actually, could I get a recommendation for a controller to use for SNES/Genesis to PS1/N64 emulation?

>>471035
Mine wore out and the left shoulder buttons stopped working a few years ago. Yesterday I find it in my closet, open it up, and take an eraser to the contacts on the circuit board. Fucker worked perfectly afterwards.

I am so happy.

>>475582
So many hours of PlayStation emulation with ePSXe and that fucker.

>>470145
is that a fucking wu-tang clan control, op?

>>475627
>or that I had a present day usb version.
http://www.amazon.com/k/dp/B00000K4TQ/

>>475627
PlaySEGA had a really nice USB controller going.
I don't know if you can still get them or not.

>>475713
They're shit.

>>471390
Because nobody likes U.

>>475627
I just use my PS3 controller, which also there's a better alternative to that MotionInJoy now too.

>>475690
Came with the Limited Edition of Taste The Pain/Shoalin Style.
As you may have noticed, it ain't nothin' to fuck with.

Bump?

>>475559
YUUUUUUP

>>473514
>>475106
Oh man I'm jealous of that blue one. I just have the green one and it looks terrible compared to that.

>>473514

>>480807
What the hell is this, a game guide holder?

>>483889
It's a Logitech NetPlay PS2 Controller and thats a keyboard slot.

>>483896
I had one for the DC.
Was pretty ballin, helped me meet my wife <3

>>475559
Product placement ftw

>>471035
I have two of em, also I meant to ask in the controller emulation thread but does anyone know if this controller works with the ps3's usb controller adapter on the computer? I need a comfortable controller for my emulators and would love to use this one.

>>488051
Do you have any friends with the cable?

I'd say you should ask them to try it honestly.

>>470405
I had a gamecube one like that. Came with a Venom controller too, they had this huge spider logo on the A button.

Funny story, if you plugged the Venom controller into any controller port but the 2P port, the console would lose power. I have no fucking clue how that shit worked.

>>470621
that's actually really cool.
I want to play burnout with one of those sometime

I had a Super Advantage, whereabouts unknown. It originally belonged to my uncle but then he gave it to me, and I may have given it back to him.

Anyways, that thing was pretty cool even if it wasn't exactly perfect. I found out much later it was supposed to be for Fighting Games, but I used it for Star Fox and it felt pretty awesome. It felt a little more like I was actually piloting the ship compared to the regular controller, even if I played worse using it.

Cool controller, maybe I'll pick one up if my uncle doesn't have it still.

>>475106
they look like speakers to me

>>488630
True, I will ask a few of my friends and see if they have one. Thanks for the reply.

>>471685
my favorite controller yet. got a soft spot for DQ. after a few moves i lost the cord for it... looks nice on top of my game shelf tho

>>470851
It's upside-down, but it doesn't really matter. That shit is atrocious.

Don't mind me, I'm only one of the best controllers ever made...

>>471839
This shit is seriously awesome. I use it more than my normal joysticks, but not as much as my Master System controllers.

>>475559
just got hard
thank you, anon

>>475582
>buy 2 of these
>connector has slot for another controller
>included book says 2 controllers together support only 1 button on each
>mfw full mapping on each controller and play kirby's dream course with lil bro for hours fuck your instructions gravis

This piece of shit right here. After my dad broke my atomic purple controller, he got me this. Helped a ton, with its sticking analog and hard buttons.

Confession mode?
Accidentally, i came all over it on one of my youth faps. Nothing else was harmed but this s.o.b.

Serves you right, you controller abortion.
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I REGRET NOTHING

>>490649
That shape/layout is the best though. Nintendo should have went with that in the first place.

>>470145
This controller is for the Olympian 2600, which is a pong console. They joystick in non-centering.

>>490649
It looks like they tried to make the N64 controller good

>>490735
>>490649
I always preferred the original controller design. I seriously don't know why the hate over it. I thought it was way better than the PSX/Dualshock.

But maybe, if Nintendo had sticked to that shape, and the build quality was good (the interact build quality was awful)... I think it could be amazing.

>>470315
I had this, uncomfortable as fuck, when I played with friends, the loser would have to use this fucker.

>>470431
I want one of these so bad. I'd do it.

I have this slightly customised third-party PS3 controller that I got with an EB Games voucher. The original sticks sucked ass so I replaced them with third-party 360 ones. D-pad kicks ass, new sticks kick ass, face buttons work fine and the shoulders kinda suck. Triggers claimed to be analog but they're digital.

>>490853
From the front

>>490857
And the old sticks (left) and new sticks (right)

>>470535
I know someone who has this. It's extremely uncomfortable to hold, and I hate it. Also, the controller doesn't go in properly so it's easy to yank out.

>>488781
I wish they were that useful they are just little design tubes. It does have the cool ability of letting you program different key sets so you could change around where the buttons were located.

I had this fucking thing for my playstation 1, the Evolution Motion Sensitive Control System.

I don't know what the fuck I was thinking.

>>473514
It isn't too hard to mod modern controllers to have buttons on the grips, it's pretty common for pro (lol) console FPS competitors.

>>470807
The RE4 chainsaw controller was fucking neato, don't you badmouth it.

>>470651
So it's like an analog stick mouse?

>>470201
>That actually looks like a good design for a modern game console.

>>470437
>MFW I used to have like 4 of these all with skins for different games, I also had 5 dreamcasts, all with different see through colored plastic and like 8 different colored controllers, and allmost every game ever made, even had a buncha Japanese games I could never play cause I don't speak the fucking language.
My Dad sold it to his drug dealer when I was like 16.
I still hate him for that.

>>470746
>OH LOOK ANOTHER CONTROLLER I BOUGHT WITH MY OWN MONEY MY DAD SOLD FOR DRUGS!
>I fucking hate that old man.

bampu

>>470703
I actually think I did better on Super Smash bros. with that controller instead of the original

>>470613
Is that a controller, or an 80s cellphone?

I have this controller, but it's missing the keyboard. I use it often with fighting games since the analog is better than the DualShock one and also I can print off movelists and paste it in the empty space where the keyboard would go to

>>470621
How the hell are you supposed to play Final Fantasy VII, with that thing!?
You need the damned D-Pad, to play it, and it's right next to the buttons,

>>470670
I bought a controller very similar to that, if not that controller, years back.
Piece of shit died within a year.

>>471282
>>471390
You, it looks like it would be pretty nice to use for a game like Crusader: No Remorse.

>>494372

HOLY SHIT I JUST FUCKING GOT THIS ONE TODAY!

>>470535
>mfw this was designed by that abortion doctor who just got arrested

>>494431
Now that's the spirit! It's one thing that has been so great about PC games, using whatever type of controller could work for certain games, whatever history it has.

>>494431
Now that's the spirit! It's one thing that has been so great about PC games, using whatever type of controller appears sensible for certain games, whatever history it has.

What's the best SNES to USB adapter for an original controller? I want to get something that isn't going to have lag or input issues.

>>491679
Is that a controller or medical equipment?

Who honestly uses this

>>496981
I thought it was actually pretty useful, but now that I'm an adult I have to use the Hookshot instead.

>>497049

Any intel about this joystick?

>>500523
is this what a vagina looks like

>>500536
what

>>471012
Those are so comfy.

>>500523
It's not a joystick. It's a miseryleaf.

>>491745
it was pretty awesome as a novelty, but tbh as a controller? was kinda garbage

>>488791
I found one of those at a garage sale.
I'm not sure if it's just the one I have, or if they were all like this, but Jesus that stick is stiff. It doesn't move in the slightest.
