Well I have a Unicorn. His name is Greg. He's in Canada right now.

Nevermind. I figured it out.

>>5846435
Consoles that old used infrared like a television remote which is about as bad as it gets for gaming peripherals.

>>5846435
Look into 8bitdo controllers, those are bluetooth and pretty well built. Use the stick with my famicom and snes30 on my super famicom witht their bluetooth dongles and it works okay for me.

>>5846435
The guy who makes the gscart also makes Megadrive controllers that use a 24hz connection that are really low latency, 8bitdo has something similar but a bit slower. Bluetooth on retro consoles is just shit desu (although not as bad as infared lmao)

>>5846568
I have a Sega CDX too. They're rare, but they exist, idiot.

>>5846568
These are more expensive than rare.

>>5846435
Just use an extension cable

>>5847217
I used to rent one as a kid. That Dracula Game sucked total ass.

>>5846435
Retro cordless controllers are garbage. They're easily interfered with and have all kinds of input delay problems.

>>5846435
PMd you the fix ;^)

>>5846435
Fuck off faggot reddit scum

>Youtube told me retro cordless controllers are garbage. It also told me they're easily interfered with and have all kinds of input delay problems.
Too bad you're too retarded to learn the facts for yourself

>>5848342
>my perception isn't developed enough to notice the severe lag that comes from using Bluetooth

>>5846562
imagine being this curmudgeon

>>5848518
imagine being this

>>5846435
Good joke man. Even in the best of conditions wireless creates significant lag and you're really thinking of using them for action games in older consoles.

>>5848342
No, I'm basing that on the cordless controllers that I had as a kid for my NES and SNES, which were cool in theory but actually sucked a lot in practice and led to lots of dropped inputs.

>>5848507
We're not talking about modern bluetooth controllers, we're talking about retro controllers which used RF and IR.

>>5848571
So are you LARPing as a 13yo youtuber who bought a few old broken controllers to rants about or LAPRing as someone who was a kid in the 80's? Enquiring minds want to know.

>>5848757
Wow, you're a fucking retard.

>>5846829
you mean krikzz, the everdrive guy.

I had this growing up and I remember enjoying it but there could be absolutely no fucking thing between the gamepad and the receiver. There's turbo just for B and A dunno why and a slow button that paused the game intermittently, more of a novelty than useful.
I think acclaim or konami wireless snes gamepads would be a safer bet though

>>5848757
Did you have good experiences with RF and IR controllers as a kid? You're not even trying to build discussion, you're just attacking me baselessly. We're here to discuss retro games, so share your experiences with cordless controllers on retro controllers or kindly fuck off.

>>5848842
**on retro CONSOLES
whoops

I owned original wireless controllers for both snes and genesis back in the day.
absolute garbage.

>>5848842
>bullshits
>gets called out
>b-b-but you're just attacking me baselessly
Top kek kid. Why don't you share your experience? Instead of just parroting bullshit you heard from other fuctards. I've shared my experience. I know you're bullshitting because I have dozens of old wireless controllers and know that many work very well. But you just assume everyone here is a lying little faggot like yourself so you totally miss that contribution.

Opinions on these things have been so conflicted for decades. I'm convinced it has to be a mix of QC, and some local signal interference that's just unknown to the average user.

>>5850130
>Why don't you share your experience?
I fucking did. All the cordless controllers I used as a kid were dogshit and finicky. What more do you want? Just because my experience is different from yours, I'm lying? Fucking hell, /vr/ has gone to shit recently.

>posted 05/20/2002

>>5846568
I have one to. I dunno why you think they are unicorn tier.

>>5846805
I had some for PS1 and they never cut out, even through a blanket. Nothing requires it to be as dim and narrow as a TV wand. The FCC doesn't care because it's not leaving the room.

>>5850374
>All the cordless controllers I used as a kid
Wiimotes aren't retro kiddo. Or are you a 13yo youtuber doing kids react tier shit? You still haven't said which you are.
Do you remember that one time some stupid kid said "Retro cordless controllers are garbage. They're easily interfered with and have all kinds of input delay problems"? Because "All the cordless controllers" he used as a kid (probably a few wiimotes )were shit. And when someone called his bullshit he cried and said they weren't "sharing their experience" even though he just made a stupid generalization based on his lack of experience. That was pretty ironic and funny, wasn't it.

>>5850845
>>>/v/
Quit shitting up the board, you paranoid schizo.

>>5850845
As an onlooker I agree with him. That guy just gave his experience with retro wireless controllers, there is no reason to doubt what he's saying or to talk about "13yo youtubers". You even say yourself that "many work very well", implying that plenty don't. You also say you have "dozens" of retro wireless controllers - noone on this planet has dozens of wireless retro controllers. The only way what you say could be true is if those controllers were incredibly expensive and the technology didn't reduce in price over time.

>>5850958
That guy "gave his experience", which is nothing or almost nothing, as if it were a universal fact. And it's not true. There;s every reason to doubt someone like that. What there's not reason to do is circle jerk the faggot and white knight for him. At least not one that doesn't involve you being a faggot. Which you obviously are because you project like a child and have less capacity to reason than a warm dead fish. There are many ways I could say I have dozens of wireless retro controllers fucktard. One of them is simply that it happens to be true. Thank God summer is almost over.

Post a pic, then.

Take your meds.

Whats up OP, Ive owned these for 5 years.

They fucking suck! lol

Maybe if someone knew how to replace the IR parts inside to be something better it would be sick(if thats even possible), but as they are now they lose connection easily. latency is whatever unless youre playing something that requires hella precision.

Can you guys stop pissing on each others legs in here? /vr/ is supposed to be chill.

>>5851419
I might just do that. But first I'm gonna let you seethe, beg, and cry. Nothing personal, kid. I just really enjoy whipping stupid underage shitposters into a frenzy and then humiliating them. If you've been here more than a summer you should have seen this. If not, lol, this is gonna be fun.

>>5851448
>do drugs so you can "think" like i do
No thanks kiddo

he's saying you're off your rocker

So you admit you literally have meds you're not taking?

You really are paranoid.
>fail at reading comprehension
Nope, that was you for apparently interpreting "take your meds" as referring to recreational drugs.

op I fell for the wireless meme as well and immediately regretted it after trying wired on a CRT again. the response time is incomparable. you could always do what I did which was buy extension cables for all your consoles.

>>5853307
Dudelet, you made the same mistake in both posts. How new are you that you think your pic is going to fool anyone? And you're projecting like a mofo about recreational drugs. Maybe take a break until the bath salts wear off.

>>5854267
Take your meds, schizo.

So how many more days are left on the ebay shipping tracker, anon?

>>5855546
Not an eBaybie kiddo

>>5856115
Don't worry, anon, I've got your back. I'll be sure to keep this thread alive until you can buy up "dozens" of retro wireless controllers and post a pic of them.

>>5856805
Thanks kiddo. But knowing you're stewing, seething, and projecting is really all I need from you.

>>5857108
Glad you confirmed that you're lying and never intended on delivering. Thanks, that's all I needed.

>>5857491
>seething

Glad to know wireless controllers are still for semen slurping faggots.
