How's the dpad on that thing?

>>8902975
They put holes in the dpad so your thumb could breathe. Innovative design.

>> No.8903126

>>8902983
They're speed holes. The "slow" switch plugs the holes in case you want it to move at a more normal speed.

I can't imagine playing 2nd Impact and 3rd Strike without their controllers.

The ASCII dpad looks really cool but feels kinda mushy, I used to love it though. Now I prefer the Hori dpad from the same era.

>>8904534
Mushy? No problems with mine here. Yours was just worn out.

>> No.8904591

>>8904589
I have several controllers with that dpad. Maybe mushy isn't the right way to describe it, maybe floaty would be better. Either way, I just prefer the Hori dpad.

>> No.8904594

I must know: it is ASCII (two i) or ASC2 with roman numerals?

>> No.8904627

>>8904594
It's two Is. The company started with publishing a magazine called ASCII, which was named after the encoding standard.

Thanks anon, but
>named after the encoding standard
Our shitty western european "computer science" teacher in high school said it was ASC2. Man what a bastard, fooling us like that.

Does anyone else manufacture non-conventional controllers these days?

>> No.8906641

Pretty sure Hori is the only second-party controller manufacturer that's left, both ASCII and Hudson have ceased to exist.

For me it's ProgramPad, the CLEAR choice for the PSX expert.

I meant more like the original ones, the new ones don't really seem to do anything experimental at all.

While I still prefer the Saturn pad on the overall, it is just attempting parries where those Ascii Pad FT shines because I think its loose and airy feeling d-pad is snappy enough to attempt those frame-specific actions. I would imagine it could be alright with shooting games, but the standard Dreamcast d-pad and other more preferred controllers are sufficient for me in that type of game.

Were Namco's controllers any good? I just love these weird gamepads and would like to collect them provided they worked on more than one game.

The neGcon is great for racers, it's also compatible with Tekken but it's absolutely terrible to play a fighting game with. It's not recommended for games not built with it in mind as the two red buttons do not register.

The only way to play Ridge Racer.
