/vr/ - Retro Games

Playing DC games with a 360 controller imparts the same sense of comfy.

Although I wish the Wingman SD had a VMU port like the Total Control 3.

>>8677351
disgusting
not to mention dead zones and sensitivity are all kinds of fucked between the controllers

>>8677327
>>8677351
Do zoomers really?

>>8677327
>>8677351
what the fuck are you faggots doing? if you were gonna do this, why didnt you just emulate at this point? ruining the entire point of playing an original console, ESPECIALLY the fucking dreamcast

>>8677382
DC controller is dogshit
Controllers are too used in the second-hand market
Low availability of official controllers for old systems

>>8677356
>>8677373
>>8677382
Shut the fuck up.

>>8677509

>>8677535
Why, faggot?

>>8677382
I only really use these for arcade sticks since I play a lot of arcade ports on saturn/dc/ps1

>>8677327
>>8677351
Oh nice. I want these so I can use me arcade stick on PS2 and 'cast.
One thing I don't miss about oldschool gaming is these stupid proprietary controller ports

>>8677382
DC controller is ass, and this let's you use modern fight sticks on it as well.
worship more plastic retard

>>8677382
The point is to use a controller you don't like? Why would I use the dual shock 2 ever again when I can plug one of those in and use the dual shock 3 wirelessly? it's way more convenient. Yes I could use a bluetooth adapter but those are all chinkshit and it only works in OPL

I use mine to play shooting games with my arcade stick. Feels great

>>8677932
>dual shock 3
It's literally worse than dualshock 1 and 2.

>>8677719
>>8677890
>>8677943
I just ordered a Mayflash F500 v2 for PS4 and PC, you guys think it will also work with PS2 and Dreamcast with one of those adapters?

>>8677949
>worse than dualshock 1 and 2
Explain. Are the triggers triggering you?

>>8677949
the DC one is both xinput and dinput so I know it will for that.

>>8677949
I'm sure it will. The stick I use with mine on PS2 and PS1 is a Hori RAP N which works with both PS4 and PC

>>8677953
It's lightweight, fragile, and overall feels like shit. I've owned every PlayStation controller except the dual analog and Sixaxis + DS3 were bottom of the barrel. I only use DS4 to play PS3 games.

>>8677956
>>8677962
That's great news, although I guess it really won't be fair when my buddy comes over to play 3rd strike and I have a stick while he's stuck with the cruddy DC pad lol. I'll look into these.

>>8677429
Just buy the retrofighters DC controller you dumb faggot.

>>8677327
Anyone thinking about getting this should wait a bit. They have a far better design coming out soon

>just buy another bad proprietary controller instead of an adapter for one of the superior controllers you already own
Retard logic.

>>8677972
Bless you anon.

>>8677949
>It's literally worse than dualshock 1 and 2.
Very true. Dualshock 1 and 2 are the best controllers. Sony shouldn't have fucked with perfection. I've spent so much time with PS2 controllers in my hands that even the difference in weight of a dualshock 3 feels awful to me. Also fuck the home button.

>>8677953
The L2+R2 buttons shouldn't do that, it feels wrong.

>>8677968
>lightweight
And? You want it to weight as much as the duke?
>fragile
The fuck are you doing with yours? Both of mine that came with the console are still working fine after 10+ years of use and even a few accidental drops.
>feels like shit
Subjective and vague.
I'll give you real negatives about it: The triggers could've been concave instead of convex. The analog material gets sticky over time and will eventually rupture, spinning around on the analog plastic like a wheel. The stick itself will also be chipped away from being scraped against the edges of the analog well. This problem, however, is present in previous dualshock controllers too so it's a universal problem.
It has a better d-pad than the DS2, the triggers don't get stuck into the wells like the DS2, and it can pair up with any bluetooth dongle along with the proper drivers.

>>8677327
Comfy until you need to use pressure sensitive buttons. Retard.

>>8677992
I want it to feel like a $50 piece of equipment. A brand new DS3 feels like shit right out of the box.
See, the Dualshock 1 was perfect for PS1 and the 2 for PS2, but something about the kinds of games I played on PS3 (shooters and open world games that rely heavily on the convex analog sticks and make frequent use of the convex triggers) made me realize that the Dualshock 3 was not well-equipped for PS3 games. I know I'm in the majority when I say that, outside of the dpad, the 360 controller trounced the Dualshock 3. Sony fixed everything with the Dualshock 4 though.
And call me crazy but I liked the analog buttons of the DS2.

>>8678013
I didn't burn or grind up my original controllers, anon. They are still easily plugged in.

>>8678029
>I want it to feel like a $50 piece of equipment.
A $50 piece of equipment from 2006 will probably have better designed internals than a $50 piece of equipment from 1999. That's how technology improves, anon. but I'm holding my legit DS2 and DS3 controllers in my hands right now and they weight about the same to me. Are you sure you weren't fooled by the cable on the DS2 adding to the weight?
>the 360 controller trounced the Dualshock 3
Not with those AA battery packs and clicky face buttons it didn't.
The DS3 isn't the perfect design that title goes to the SCPH-1180 but it's far from being worse than its predecessors. If it had concave analogs/triggers and alternative buttons to R3/L3 it'd be even better. If the DS4 didn't have useless zoomer shit like touchpads, microphones, share buttons and that obnoxious lightbar it'd be the undisputed king, but sadly it isn't.

>>8677327
I used this when I played .hack IMOQ on my PS2 back in 2020. Being able to use my DS3 was nice, but next time I'm just going to use the DS2.

Now, I actually have a DS2 that has a cord that's not fucked.

>>8677968
lightweight is good

How am I supposed to play games with pressure sensitive buttons? Checkmate.

Brook converters support pressure sensitive buttons if you use a Dualshock 3. Dualshock 4 doesn't have those.

>>8678224
>if you use a Dualshock 3
yeah... I'd rather just use a DS2 there buddy.

>>8678243
sure. your statement was false anyway.

>>8677327
Do you know what's fucked? 6 out of 8 of my PS2 controllers don't work anymore and all have the same problem. The carbon pads go bad on the face buttons and dpad.

>>8678432
There are alot that goes wrong with PS2's. Most all of these things can be fixed, but you have to be willing and able to fix them.

>>8678432
>i keep scrubbing the carbon of the contacts on my controllers and they keep stop working
Funny that

>>8678441
I've looked into fixing them but all the ones I opened have the green ribbon hard soldered to the board and apparently the replacement ribbons are hit and miss anyway. Some people have had success with conductive paints/pens etc but apparently it doesn't always last and can mess up pressure sensitivity.

>>8678062
>touchpads, microphones, share buttons and that obnoxious lightbar
There's no microphone in the Dualshock 4. So you care about the looks or something? Because none of this affects usage. You can't see the word "share" or the light bar when you're looking at a TV. I do feel comfy analog sticks, proper triggers though, and an improved dpad though.
To each their own, but I own one Dualshock 3 and I would never buy another one when DS4 exists.

>>8678013
Which is 24 noted games out of over a thousand that use it, half of which have ports to later gens or PC. So you're screwed on only a dozen of games.

>>8678570
Right, it's a speaker, not a mic. Don't know what for, though.
>So you care about the looks or something?
I care about the waste of battery power and space that could've been used for more buttons, or at the very least less components that you don't need, and will probably break down sooner than the actual buttons. I do agree that it has a grean d-pad though.

>>8679285
>grean
great
fuck

>>8677949
>It's literally worse than dualshock 1 and 2.
If I really want a digital R2/L2 button I'll switch to my regular DS2. Any other differences are negligible

>me who buys a cheap chink knockoff for 10 dollars that has no pressure sensitive buttons

Are there any good third party PS2 controllers that do have the pressure sensitive buttons?

>>8679285
>Right, it's a speaker, not a mic. Don't know what for, though.
Speakers are for making sound. The more you know.

>>8677327
Aren't there some PS2 games which utilize the analog face buttons, triggers, and D-pad? I don't think PS2 games could take advantage of the advances in rumble features of the new controller. How's the ergonomics?

I've been wanting to save up for those adapters.

>>8677351
great for using retrobit Saturn controllers on Dreamcast for fighters

>>8680798
Money is of no object to you, piece of paper anon. Don't tell lies on the internet

>>8680798
>Aren't there some PS2 games which utilize the analog face buttons, triggers, and D-pad?

The real question is are there any good ones besides MGS?

>>8680953
There aren't many which used it in general but The Bouncer uses the feature prominently.

>>8680953
I think the Grand Theft Auto games are pretty good.

>>8680798
Careful anon, the new XBox controllers use BLE which these adapters don't support.

They work wired, however.

>>8680887
I feel like the input is a little stiff.

MadCatz's Xbox 360 FightPads make a good alternative.

People act like a bunch of snobs like not playing with the original controller is some kind of transgression, but I'm glad that this company keeps making stuff like this. I needed a PS3 controller and found that it was impossible to find a new one that wasn't counterfeit a normal price. I ended up buying the brook adapter and overall it was pretty great, but it had problems with Star Ocean for some reason. Really I just wish that these stupid ass console manufacturers would stop making everything proprietary. Maybe it's not as big of a deal in Japan or somewhere where people don't treat things like animals, but I don't even want to touch most used controllers.

>>8681257
>if ur not poor baby ur snob
kwab. You know, maybe if you'd stop being such an insufferable sniveling little bitch people would respond differently to you.

>>8680893
I wish that were the case. All this inflation and world related economic issues has put a real strain on my finances/budget.

>>8680953
I have a PS2 version of DOA2:Hardcore which took a bit for me to realize that it did utilize the pressure sensitivity to adjust attacks.

>>8681163
I have that USB dongle for Xbone controllers, but it is for Windows 10 which I do not have. I am hoping someone finds a GNU/Linux workaround.

>>8683449

That dongle looks too "smart". I wish it were just a BLE to USB gamepad translator or something. I would use that under Linux, too, and maybe it could be plugged into the Brooks adapter.

I just (yesterday) GDEMUed my original dreamcast finally. My original controllers, which I never mistreated, feel awful. I have one of the series X controllers and wish I could use it wirelessly. I also have the PS5 controller but I want the button labels to match (and the PS5 controller is already paired to the PS2 adapter).

I ordered a 15 foot USB-A to USB-C cable instead. Have to tell dogs and kids not to trip over it.
