/vr/ - Retro Games

Always

DualShock 2 with an USB 1.1 adapter
Not only is it great for emulation but also any older Win9k/Mac computers

>>7086623
My three.

Camping backup gobag is n30 pro.

Nyko is pc.

Bluetooth shit is for android devices.

The n30 can be used on both though and is the only one not in some way damaged as it is the newest. The blue is pushy buttons. The gray is damaged left analog a bit but not enough to keep me from beating cavestory's dead core. Just slightly damaged so I actually use it the most, especially for it's actual buttons being near immortal. Not perfect but sturdy the gray is. The fan is broken also. So, the compact n30 is undamaged but the worst to hold. All three have their flaws. The blue would be the hardest to beat a reflex oriented game though it was fine at first. I've had to fix it once already with glue. It used low quality latex to make the stuff push out but cut through itself.

>>7086648
>the blue's dpad
Forgot to gripe about that.

A Steelseries wireless. Has the same comfortable handling of an Xbox controller but the same button layout as a Playstation Dualshock. Fits every situation

Let's be honest, anything else is a compromise

>>7086637

Logitech F310.

>>7086712
I use this, but wired.
>>7086721
Best third party controller I've ever used.

>>7086745
I have the exact controller (though the gameboy themed one) and all the buttons are ridiculously stiff and the dpad is kind of garbage

>>7086748
yea the dpad isnt so great honestly but its better than the xbox 360 controller i used before

>>7086623

>>7086748
>>7086785
D-Pad and buttons are fine for me. Maybe they have horrible quality control issues and I got lucky.

This served me well for about five years before one single button became mushy, and is still serving me decent enough despite that but it's about time to get a new one and put this away as a "second player controller"

I'm looking to get something that has as good of a d pad as this but with analog sticks.

>>7086623
Mouse and Keyboard, USB Saturn controller, Modded Arcade1UP cab, or Xbox Elite Series 2.
Depends on what I'm playing.

You posted it, but I've taken the hardware+ode/flashcart pill so I actually don't use it anymore.

>>7086623

>>7086935
You use a USB Saturn controller and an Elite Series 2 and you're calling the DS4 dogshit? Braindead

>>7086643
Any reason why a DS2 over a DS3?

>>7087256
I prefer my controllers not to be dog shit that breaks if I so much as cough on it.

Emulation is not retro

Look up when MAME started, lameski.

I currently only have a wired 360 controller. The d-pad is garbage

I have high hopes for this thing if they ever release it

>>7087462
What's the appeal of 6 face buttons? I've never really understood

>>7087312
Maybe you have the retard strength to go along with your brain buddy, because I've never broken a DS4.

>>7087476
It's perfect for fighting games like Street Fighter.

>>7087476
So you can play fighting games with a light/medium/heavy punch/kick control scheme

>>7087478
>I never had problems with it so thing must be good.
People like you shit up the repair industry to no end.

>>7087476
Its not even just fighting games, its just 2 extra buttons that developers can do fuck all with.

>>7087479
worst emulation controller unless you emulate retro computers like me speccy or me amiger

>>7087436
I stopped paying attention at the xbox becoming a 360.

Sue me zoomer.

n30 for my laptop at work when emulating locally or streaming over moonlight. Dpad is okay to me, it's just the face buttons feel too sticky and the shoulder button placement is uncomfortable.

Xbox one at home since the controller is a bit bulkier and I'm worried the analog sticks will get damaged.

I use a chinese phone controller too, I like the layout but the buttons can be a bit stiff.

>>7086721
autism

I have been finding that the Playstation Classic USB gamepads have really good d-pads and responsive buttons for emulation on my PC.

Shill me a good 6 button controller with perfect build quality, with and without analog sticks.

Which controllers have d-pads on par with the Playstation Vita's?

>>7086623
cheap xbox 360 usb clone

Dualshock 3 for PCSX2/RPCS3/Cemu/Ryujinx/Yuzu/Dolphin
8bitdo M30 for everything else excluding arcade games that require analog input

Hori Fighting Commander

>>7087523
stop throwing/crushing your controllers. it's just a game

>>7086789
the buffalo controller is so f*ing good, maybe better than the original. they should make a SNES version but they don't.

>>7088543
What's better about it?

Switch Pro. The D-pad is too sensitive on the ups, but still good for anything.

>>7088543
the dpad actuates better

>calling out autism while being an autistic hipster over controller choice

This thing is small but I paid 20 bucks and the buttons are pretty good.

>>7086742
>>7087449
For me, it's Logitech F710.
Works like charm for years, put some rechargeble batteries and play my retrogames.

>>7088580
I heard this was awful, though?

>>7088652
By who? My only complaint other than the small size is the sticks are kinda shitty, but I mostly play 2D games with it so it's no problem.

>>7088618
Ooh silver Logitech, very nice.

>>7088656
Ooookay...Shitty sticks seems like a rather large failing to me, Anon, but....You the boss.

>>7088675
I don't see a need for sticks when I'm playing platformers and 2D games.
Who the fuck plays a 2D game with an analog stick?

>>7087476
push-to-talk

>>7088703
>push-to-talk

This guy. I'm not a huge fan of how the buttons feel with the dumb clicky microswitches behind them, but the D-stick is just disgustingly good.

>>7087310
DS3 requires special software to work on PC but DS2 adapters typically work on whatever drivers you've got built-in

>>7087476
If a game is hectic enough, I usually shift my controller grip so that I hit the face buttons with my fingers instead of my thumb, like on an arcade machine. Genesis/Saturn style controllers fit this way of playing much better than SNES style controllers.

I bought this a few weeks ago to use on my Pi for PlayStation games, I love it so much I think i'll use it as my main Pi controller.

>>7087449
>>7088618
cringe

>>7089378
Great argument. Besides, this is a thread for showing what you use, not proving what is best, even though the F310 from Logitech is the only controller that you need.

The Gamecube wired Switch controller from PowerA. The d-pad is surprisingly good, beat Mischief Makers twice on it.

>>7090218
Isn't this an admission that the GC controller is the best controller design to date?
Which is really just an admission that the N64 controller was the best of its era.

Someone redpill me on 8BitDo. Are they actually shit? Are their dpads fragile? I see both shills and contrarians and I can't fucking tell what the reality is. I live in spicland so if I get one of these controllers it's gonna be a hefty price.

>>7088013
DS4, from what I'm told. Too bad you need a third party tool to get it to work on PC

>>7090253
Just one person's opinion but I have used many and they've all been awesome. I suspect some people can't RTFM so they think they're shit.

>>7090253
They're kind of meh but a good option if you have nothing else.

>>7090218
>The d-pad is surprisingly good
Do you little toddler hands?

>>7090264
The PowerA Gamecube one has a much bigger D-pad.

>>7090235
It would be the perfect controller if the d-pad was bigger. Even on the PowerA.

>>7090253
They're dogshit. Generally speaking, third party controllers are very poor. Even the meme ones like Hori produce mostly awful controllers.

When you combine the input latency with the fucking retarded layouts, you're left with pretty poor controllers. You can get much better stuff for cheaper, but zoomers need everything to be wireless so they have 20 more batteries to charge a day.

>>7090294
I hate wireless controllers, the batteries on my mouse die often enough to annoy the shit out of me, I can't imagine playing an intense game and having your controller just shut off in the middle of it

>>7090269
my bad i sperg out when i see the gamecube controller being eulogized
didn't read it was another variant

>>7090358
Yeah this one has the extra switch buttons, they basically made the z button bigger and added an extra one.
Besides that and the bigger dpad it's kiiiinda close to the real deal.

>>7089068
looks like a good n64 emulation controller

The old 8bitdo but with the buttons and rubbers replaced with ones from an original snes controller.

these are actually amazing

>>7090415
That looks like a no-frills stripped-down ghetto F310.

I still use my wired 360 controller on my PC, I've had it for almost nine years and it's indestructible. I've fallen asleep on it, dropped it, the dog has stepped on it, etc and it still works perfectly.

>>7086623
this 1 looks kinda good for sega/saturn/64 games maybeeee?

>>7086623
A saturn controller.
>>7086712
Those are terrible. They have a design flaw where the buttons stick. And a bunch of other problems on top.

>>7090501
>Saturn controller for emulation
Really?

>>7090501
the buttons are fine so far my biggest complaint of it is the dpad kind of sucks for playing games like contra where you need to diagonal shoot and move forward at the same time it feels too stiff

>>7087256
the DS4's d-pad is fucking terrible and that's enough to make not wanna use it all together

>>7090587
I beat Puyo Puyo 1 and 2 on the DS4 dpad, so it can't be that bad. And it isn't

>>7088574
?

Wait, those Logitech controllers are good? I thought they were shit for some reason

>>7090525
A lot of people like the saturn controller for its dpad. they're pretty versatile for emulating old games since you have the 3 on 3 layout for six button fighting games and genesis games feel much more appropriate on them. You can still do SNES fairly well too since you can imitate the cross layout fairly well and it has shoulder buttons.

>>7090235
The one and only issue with the Gamecube controller is the shoulder buttons. They work fine for Gamecube games, but they're a bit wonky if you try to use them for any game build for a 360/PS2 controller. It doesn't help that there are only three. It looks like that specific controller adds a fourth, though.

>>7090587
DS4 dpad aint bad. It's definetely an improvement over the older playstation dpads, imo

>>7090624
>Wait, those Logitech controllers are good? I thought they were shit for some reason
They are good, but if memory serves Logitech did sell some shitty controllers circa 2005 or so and got a bad rap, but then they got their act together.

>>7090235
I like the gamecube controller but it only really feels natural for gamecube games imo. the dpad on it is pretty bad, the c-stick is weird and small, it only has one bumper, the triggers have a unique mechanism etc.

>>7090645
>The one and only issue with the Gamecube controller is the shoulder buttons. They work fine for Gamecube games, but they're a bit wonky if you try to use them for any game build for a 360/PS2 controller.

That's more than fair. Admittedly, I don't like the GC's shoulder buttons, they're clunky in that they ought to be more sensitive.

I used to use a DS3 but I don't have it anymore. Should I just get another one?

>>7090671
Just get a DS4 or DS5 at this point jesus

>>7086623

>>7090690

ps2 pad for everything, but we really need 6 button pads with joysticks already

>>7090703
Yes, they're good. Autists and boomers will say otherwise but they're solid controllers.

My Xbox 360 controller. Got it in 2007 and has worked flawlessly since. Not once have I had to get a new one.

>>7087410
>triggers weaken quickly over time
>build quality is awful
>finding a genuine DS3 is like searching for a needle in a haystack
>but it's 10/10 in brand new condition
We're truly the most oppressed race

>>7090415
Could be great for fighting games, might give it a try

>>7090747
DS3 is fuckin great, I can emulate analog sticks using the pressure sensitive d-pad and play Majora's Mask with full analog the way it was meant to be played (on a d-pad LOL)

>>7090350
I've got a switch, having half the controller just randomly disconnect because Nintendo are completely fucking retarded is a real joy.

I still remember getting a 360 controller and wondering why anyone would bother with that shit. My PS3 controller spent most of its lifespan plugged in because the battery couldn't hold a charge for shit, and I don't even own anything newer than that because I'm not retarded.

Wireless will never make sense to me, I don't sit more than 2 meters away, and even if I did, I doubt the signal would reach.

Why do none of these new controllers have turbo buttons? Especially for the fucking Genesis?

>>7090762
Because most of the emulators people are using this shit for have their own turbofire modes?

Mine takes half a second to enable autofire, just need to tap the guide button while I hold down a button. I can even adjust the fire rate on the fly.

>>7090762
the 8bitdo one does

>>7090762
You know turbo buttons used to just pause and unpause games really fast right? They're pointless nowadays when everything can be configured in software.

>>7090762
turbo buttons are a disease and the people who use them should be softly fucked up the ass until they desire my cock more than turbo buttons

>>7090762

Awesome, thanks for the tip.

>>7090749
>pressure sensitive d-pad
are there drivers for windows that support it?

>>7088682
I have this exact hori pad, the nice thing about the sticks is you can get generic 360 replacement sticks, disassemble the controller and pop them on replacing the rough and unpleasant plastic sticks. They fit perfectly and have the full travel.

That said, emulation is GAY and you're a GAYNIGGER if you emulate.

>>7086637
Those types of dpads are terrible, what were they thinking?

>>7090978
They're fine.

>>7086623
I bought an emulationstation thing off amazon a while back, it came with a pair of SNES-like controllers that aren't too bad. I also bought a 6-button Genesis controller, but can't figure out how to configure it properly. i'd like that one a lot more if i could get it to work right.
I have an XBone controller for general pc gaming though

>>7090985
On my pi4 I end up using Batocera.linux because it has the option of using a simple ssh series of commands to manually turn it on.
You can do this in the tui on Retropie as well, only it's going to continue to be unstable for a while, probably the next year, because the hardware is too new.

Might be your problem with the thing you bought on Amazon, it might not have a manual option easy to find.

>>7090978
What's wrong with it?

>>7090971
Then bend over softboy.

>>7090970
I think some version of GlovePIE worked very well
and there might have been some homebrew driver ~2012 I was using, can't remember.

>>7091045
absolutely nothing, PS d-pads are as good or better than Nintendo ones.

>>7091045
I prefer the cross shape dpad

>>7090415
I love these, but you can't buy them anymore.

>>7088580
Does it work on PC?
Does it need something special to play with emulators?

>>7091049
begone faggot, you'll never be a real woman.

Anyone know if pic related is any good? I kinda want one for the dpad and because I fucking love and miss transparent controllers

>>7091103
Yes, works just fine with any emulator I've used.

>>7091168
Do you need any program like the ds4 or whatever is called?

>>7091137
You'll be feeling like a woman when I finish with you.

>>7091173
I had to install some drivers and shit like DS4 and that 360 thing or whatever to make it play nice with other games, but often I use just use Xpadder for anything that doesn't work with it natively.

>>7091162
It's very good and has a great d-pad. The only gripe is the shoulder buttons aren't the best, but useable.

Bluetooth one has a little lag, wired does not. The lag will only matter if you're already good enough at the game to feel something is off. If you've never played a certain game, you won't notice. Talking games where reaction is important obviously.

>>7091162

I got the white saturn one and was hugely disappointed. It feels really cheap compared to the 8bitdo M30, like the buttons rattle in their sockets. Ended up not using it.

>>7091184
So with emulators is just plug and play but with PC games you need to install stuff?, does it have input lag that you may have noticed?

>>7091203
None that I've noticed. It's wired, I can't imagine a wired controller suffering from input delay. If you can find it for 25 or less, it's worth it I think.

>>7087230
Lad

>>7091162
I use the 2.4ghz controller and it's great.

>>7091185
Yeah I kinda want the wired USB one for less lag and more uses. I may end up ordering one if they ship to spicland.
>>7091190
Maybe ya got a bad unit? You should contact the seller for a replacement.
>>7091261
Nice. I've heard amazing things about the d-pad so I was very interested.

Anyone tried out one of these bad boys? I'm curious if the D-pad is any good, ASCII made some alright stuff, and I picked one of these up to play the PS2 port of Seaman.

I don't know man. Honestly.
The ideal controller doesn't exist (6 face buttons, 4 shoulder buttons and a good d-pad).
I have yet to find one that's good for what I need.
For emulating PS1/PS2/N64 you'd need a decent pair of analogs, which already removes 80% of controllers from the list. Then you'd need 4 shoulder buttons. But by far my biggest issue is with the D-Pads. Just being able to pull off a shoryuken isn't enough proof that it works. I needed a controller that can give me consistent diagonals.
Since I started playing umihara kawase I started paying more attention to how the d-pad needs to be.
I've been tempted into getting a DS3 or DS4 but from what I remember, holding any diagonals on their d-pads was a pain in the ass. Then again I could be wrong.
I found that for myself, big old plates instead of individual buttons work the best. Like the sega controllers or similar ones.

>>7092314
The ideal controller doesn't exist because it's fundamentally impossible.

You can't have optimal hand position for both the D-pad AND an analog stick.

6 face buttons and 4 shoulder buttons is also major overkill, nothing comes close to needing that much.

There are plenty of decent 2 trigger, 4/6 face button, 1 d-pad controllers that work great. And there are tons of good dual analog sticks for games that expect analog input. The only exception to this is a couple of PS2 games that use analog face buttons, and some obscure hardware like the fucking Pippin.

You can't have one controller for every game, but you can have 2 controllers that cover 99.9% of games.

>>7087449
same

>>7088618
I have that one, bought two weeks ago. However, sometimes it stops working for 1-2 seconds. Do your joystick have the same issue? Should I return it?

>>7092332
>6 face buttons and 4 shoulder buttons is also major overkill, nothing comes close to needing that much.
N64 needs 6 face buttons and has 3 shoulder butotns

>>7092314
Honestly a saturn controller with select, home, l2, and r2 would be ideal. I know the buttons would be redundant but thats not a bad thing. Diffrrent games would be mote comfortable using the bumpers while others the buttons.

Then I'd just have a separate controller for 3D. Something like the wiiu pro controller setup but modernized, with back paddles and shit.

>>7092332
>6 face buttons and 4 shoulder buttons is overkill.
Oh god not this dumb "nothing will ever use them/ergonomics" argument, ffs play anything with M+K and you'll see more buttons is something controllers are in dire need of and is entire possible with set ups like >>7090717

>>7090978
Why do boomers have to criticize everything?

>>7093136
>>N64 needs 6 face buttons and has 3 shoulder butotns
Only 2 shoulders are ever in use at one time, and 99% of the time L is just mapped the same as Z anyway.

>>7093362
Why stop there, then? Why not have 8 face buttons, 6 menu buttons, and a few fucking shift paddles on the back? More buttons is worthless for any shit you'd actually want to play with a controller, keep pretending like DCSS and flight sims are something you want to play with a controller.

>>7093421
because 6 has worked before and 8 hasn't

>>7093421
>Why stop there
Because 6 face buttons is entirely reasonable and has been done before. There is no reasonable excuse why it shouldn't be done when it doesn't hurt the ergonomics and gives developers more options for mapping.

>>7093465
You can have even more buttons than that, I mean PC games are a thing. Cataclysm DDA uses the entire keyboard richly. Every key does something, and the game is better for it.

I use this for N64 and the controller that came with the PlayStation Classic for everything else. I kinda want to get a Retro-Bit Sega Saturn USB controller, is that worth it? If not, probably just going to scour Raphnet-Tech for USB adapters for controllers I already own.

>>7093490
using many many buttons is just a different style of game, and it's not worse than a two-button action game.

>>7093490
Okay keep coping with being wrong. 6 face buttons on a controller is a good thing.

>>7093507
no i was agreeing with you

>>7086623
The Sega Saturn controller by RetroBit

>>7093492
Yes it's worth it.

>>7086665
I actually have a Buffalo USB controller and the buttons feel even better than the original SNES controller. Slightly more high quality springs and a turbo function.

Xbox one controller and an arcade stick for anything that requires 6 buttons.

>>7090910
Nah I'll just keep enjoying my good controllers.

I got one of these. Actually really nice though the start and select buttons have kind of a softer plastic that I don't like, but I guess is basically mandatory to really capture the shitty NES feel. Backup for non-8bit is a 360 controller thats been going strong for about a decade.

>>7089068
Anon i bought this controller because you keep recommending it.
It hasn't arrived yet but I hope its good. I'm mainly gonna be using it for fighting games.

>>7086789
Based, still have mine I got from eBay back in 09.

>>7093507
The worst thing about using a controller with 6 face buttons is going back to a controller with only 4.
6 face buttons, start and select, and 4 shoulder buttons is the way to go, I've only had a handful of controllers that were like that and I miss them all

>>7087230
>>7091252

>>7086909
This one too

got this after the Xbox One controller I was using started getting really bad stick drift. it's bretty gud

>>7087449
decent and cheap, but be careful with the cord, don't wrap it around the controller for storage or the wires inside will break

>>7086623
keyboard and mouse because iDOS.

Is there anything like the Vita dpad out there? I love the clicky dpad.

>>7090801
I have one. No xinput support nor analog triggers, dinput rumble only (so no rumble at all on most games). And even if you use some wrappers like xoutput, the d-pad is still really uncomfortable and the buttons are really small. Quite a poor controller overall.

>>7095789
Appreciate the advice, but I've never heard of that happening, still all the same I keep my cord in a neat circle like they do in the ads.

>>7087449
How good is its d-pad, honestly

I'm considering picking up either the new Xbox or PS5 controller, on the fence about it.

>>7096062
I will never buy a controller with a hard-wired cable again

>>7096145
it works well enough but it feels loose, idk if that makes sense

>>7087410
>only official DS3 controllers work with the PSP Go!
This hurts real bad.

>>7086623
None. Emulation is not my thing, a bit like a cheap knock off. No thanks.
Ahem
Emulation? Well. That’s damnation.

>>7086712
I bought one of these thinking I would love it, but the d-pads sucks. It's still my go-to controller for visual novels at least.

Fuck you faggot. They should expand to actual computers again. Monopolization is not a good thing. They were too nice. My brother got the laptop for free via a school program.

That anon is correct. I like it, but I can see how others wouldn't.
>>7096184
>I will never buy a controller with a hard-wired cable again
Sounds like an overreaction to a freakish occurrence. Never have I encountered a controller that stopped working because the cord was bent. No, I'm not saying it's good or desirable to bend the cord sharply, but the manufacturers accounted for that.

>>7096145
Loose, but very accurate. As a test I very sloppily entered the Contra code for Contra and it worked. I made no attempt to be extremely accurate with my presses, so it's pretty good.

>>7086623
Xbox 360 because I dont fucking care as long as I can play

i don't have a go-to, but i use an 8-bit do sn30 pro plus for snes and n64 emulation
i use a ps4 controller for playstation emulation

Really like the octal-directional circular d-pad and the analog controls
The circular d-pad also doesn't feel too soft like with other circular d-pads

>>7092332
>You can't have optimal hand position for both the D-pad AND an analog stick
Ahem

The best

>>7097459
Are these for sale yet? It feels like I've been waiting for years.

>>7097472
Soon

>>7097456
what they should of done

>>7086623
I keep passing these up are they really that good? They're hella cheap.

>>7086623
keyboard of course, lol at using a controller still in 2020. controllers with dpads are unergonomic as fuck and you have to use your thumbs for everything. the 90s was stupid.

>>7097519
You can't wall jump with a keyboard

>>7097519
Have fun charging your buster while dash walljumping in Mega Man X, fag.

>>7086789
Do they still make these? I've had one on my Amazon wishlist for years and the prices now are just stupid.

>>7097478
I strongly recommend them if you like really springy rubber. They don't click, even the triggers are conductive rubber pads. Great controller imo

>>7097541
yes you can, I do it all the time in super metroid

>>7097475
t. left-handed person

Do you guys use a USB bluetooth adaptor or a PCI-e for your wireless controllers on PC?
I wanna' make use out of the sexy gyro from the PS4 controller.

I bought one of these and the new d-pad is actually pretty amazing. I was unsure if I was even going to like it, but I love this thing.

>>7090453
But is it Buffalo quality? This seems like a really great MAME controller. Has a nice utilitarian look.

>>7097769
i use my mac's built in bluetooth adapter that mac's have had for decades :)

>>7097785
this one also might be good.... someone RICH should get all these different 6btn pads and compare

>>7097815
I think I had one of those back in like 2005. it's weird how I can't seem to remember. I went through quite a few controllers before Microsoft made the 360 controller the standard for PC gaming. If I did it was probably decent, but if it's worth a lot of money now I wouldn't pay it much for it. there was quite a few Logitech controllers back then that were good but not really great

>>7090253
only the mega drive one is good

>>7097459
want

>>7090690
I'm considering getting one

>>7091261
>>7091162
Got the 2.4Ghz too
All great, except it input Upper-Right many time for no reason.
So, it's shit in the end for me.

Do any of these controllers have decent sticks? Some games require such a high level of precision and using some 20 dollar controller always ends in disaster. I really don't want to shell out the big bucks for an overpriced first party xbox/playstation controller.

>>7087462

Came here to post this. I use retro-bit's regular saturn controller for all the games I can but it really limits my selection a lot. The addition of analogue sticks and shoulder triggers would make it the perfect controller for me imo.

>>7094927
>press the HA button
>but they're all the HA button!!!

I use the N64 controller for everything and it's amazing.

>>7101196
remember adaptoid? dang times have changed, there didn't used to be a whole retro industry, it used to be ghetto hacker shit

>>7101184
Touché

>>7090728
I'm an autistic boomer and I think it's great. It's pretty lagless on PC and I could use my original SNES pad buttons on that shit.

>>7101196
great quality anon, is it official? is not, which third party is it?

>>7087449

Picked up a few of these on sale about 10 years ago, still my favorite dpad of all time.

>>7086637

>>7086623
Step aside, prebs. Big Dick is back in town.

>>7102297
i got the gameport version... can't even use it T_T

what I do remember is it taking TOO MUCH FORCE to actuate the d-pad

>>7102273
That controller looks comfy. I'd use it to beat Haunted Castle.

does it have a good dpad?

>>7086623
DS3 mostly cause I still play my PS3 a lot so it's not a big deal to just plug it into my PC. I'd probably upgrade to the newer ones if my PS3 ever died.

>>7102832
sony controllers are always good

>>7102273
>training children to use video games
Wtf is wrong with people? That's like giving a child a fake Frisbee.

>>7087310
The DS3 is wireless, the USB cable is just for charging. And it's not a USB HID standard controller, it requires some special software.

>>7102297
I used this in the 2000s as my emulation pad. Beat some difficult hacks with it.

One of the best things about these were how common they were in thrift stores. I had four of them that I paid a dollar each for. They are very easy to hack into arcade stick internals too.

>>7086623
NES chinesium controller for NES/Game Boy/Game Boy Color games
Buffalo Super Famicom for SNES and Gameboy Advance
Retro Bit Tribute 64 for N64
And an Xbox One controller for anything that uses two thumbsticks.

just a heads up, the newest iteration of the Xbox controller (the "Xbox Core" controller) is on sale for $40 on amazon. It's a good deal, I couldn't pass it up.

A Super Famicom controller connected through an adapter. I only emulate Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games, since emulation of these platforms have been very accurate for very long, and they're not meant to be displayed on CRTs anyway.

>>7105424
>Still no motion controls
Hurry up and roll in native gyro aim into windows MS you fucking cunts

>>7105709
What games do you use it for?

I got a Steam Controller for $10 that has gyro stuff and I've never figured out a good application for it.

>>7105726
I play a lot of single player shooters and mixed mode games with it RE:Rev 2, GTA, MGS etc. are all really good with it
CEMU and Yuzu also really really benefit from it, gyro for fine control and thumbstick for gross control is actually insanely good for aim and its becoming more common now


Pretty much useless for retro stuff sadly due to lack of support but its a big value add if you also play modern stuff

>>7105757
>CEMU/Yuzu

That does give me some ideas. I might pull my Steam Controller out of my closet and see what I can do with it. I might be able to use it for Dolphin WiiMote pointing/waggling too.

Why are controller buttons A, B, C, X, Y, and Z? What happened to the D, E, and F buttons?

>>7105780
ABC and XYZ are both the start and end of the alphabet, so it5pleasing in that sense to be consistent

>>7092585
>Do your joystick have the same issue?
Happened at first, but it was because I plug the reciever directly to the USB port of my PC. I've then used the suplied extension cord and make sure the reciever was alwasys in sight. Now I barely have that problem, one or two times a week at most. Have this controller since 2015 and still working as charm.


>Should I return it?
If it really bothers you few random disconection after making sure the reciever is always on sight then yes.

>>7090717
Tried searching for this controller in Amazon, but couldn't find it. Where do they sell them??

>>7106365
it was announced before corona, and they've been silent for about a year

>>7105780
sounds like you'd like the neo geo, and that's pretty based.

Usually my 8bitdo SN30 pro. Though lately I've been using my boyfriend's SN30 pro+ a lot.

>>7105424
me

oh man, it isn't $40 anymore. this kinda shit makes me feel better about myself.

>>7086745
>Best third party controller I've ever used.
After I bought the Hori pad that OP posted, when I go back to my Sn30Pro the feeling is that I am using a broken controller. I have exactly that model, with the Start and Select tilted, and it's terrible.

One of these afterglow controllers, though the sticks are giving me weird drift issues and haven't had the best luck fixing it, I'm thinking of switching to a Dualshock but if anyone has suggestions for controllers I'm open for that.

I think my X-Box 360 controller is dying. I just put these admittedly old but freshly charged batteries in it and it doesn't want to turn on.
I've had this controller for a long time but I don't think I really got that many hours out of it.

>>7086665
retard, here. what is this? i don't know what kind of plug this is and the reverse image search isn't helping.

>>7094907
Thanks bro, will check out ASAP

>>7107960
>i don't know what kind of plug this is
It the bastard version that you plug into a Wiimote.

>>7107983
Cheers, I haven't owned a console since sixth gen.

>>7102297
Finished Ocarina of Time with this bad boy on Project64.
Good times.

>>7086623
also my go-to MapleStory controller

>>7088882
This for anything that's not N64, can't go wrong with that battery life. For n64, GC's the way to go
