This thread is no retro related.

[Anonymous No.3569704]

These actually do look pretty okay if I really played N64 a lot I might consider ordering one to check out.

Also this thread is certainly on-topic. New games on retro platforms are allowed so certainly new replacement parts for the consoles themselves can be presumed to be within the rules. I don't really understand why the retro police sperg out like this.

What you should actually be doing is accusing OP of being a shill because I think that IS against the rules.

[Anonymous No.3570202]

>>3569815
Define "better control". If this comparison is to be believed, it should be identical to the default stick's control but clearly it's much more durable which was their goal. If you want a "more sensitive" stick then one that goes way the fuck beyond the limits of the software at its extremes will require less movement to get there because only a small area near neutral will actually register as analog motion. This is a negative to most people though as it's generally considered preferable for the entire range of motion for the stick to be understandable by the hardware.

[Anonymous No.3570204]

[Anonymous No.3570898]

>>3570810
The main problem with the N64 thumbstick is that it was one of the first devices of its kind on the market for consumer video game systems (except for maybe the Saturn, but nobody looked at Sega as competition for Nintendo at the time)

They just sort of had to do their own thing with developing and designing an analog interface from scratch that could be mass-produced. It worked out but the materials and construction were flawed and durability was a problem. Nowadays thumbsticks are everywhere and the construction is down to a science at this point, having been refined for decades.

Let's also not forget the old fucks who argue that "4th and 5th gen aren't ACTUALLY retro, the 90s ruined videogames"

[Anonymous No.3572189]

>>3570202
I think an intact and new stick (regardless of material) is more sensitive by default.

Once an N64 stick grinds itself down real bad, it'll sit loose and some directions will simply be less responsive and precise, I end up having to compensate for the degradation by other gross motor movements, not ideal when speed and precision is vital.

With a stick made of steel, this should theoretically not be an issue and it should have it's base crispness and accuracy indefinitely (the N64 stick is actually a pretty good one when it's not worn down).

[Anonymous No.3572197]

>>3570219
Consider picking one up along with a Mario Party game, shit's gud when the stick is fresh.

I figure this is more for replacing completely ruined sticks than replacing sticks entirely though, as some basic preventative maintainance (grease) goes a long way to stop it from grinding itself to dust.

>>3570584
I figure a basic rubber pad or rubberized finish with the circular ridges removed/covered would make it much easier on the thumb.

The most comfortable stick I have has a divot on top, the entire thing is smooth and has a rubberized coating, I get a great grip with full comfort and no sore thumb tip.

That's a shame because I've always thought the GC stick is way nicer feeling than the N64. And the GC pad in general is lovely to hold.

>>3573483
Super Monkey Ball was a GameCube game that was designed with the GameCube controller in mind. It's not being emulated either.

Yeah, there is noticeable dead zone when using a GameCube controller on the Wii Virtual Console. It's a lot less pronounced with N64 games though. Personally, I would use a Classic Controller Pro for VC as there seems to be much less deadzone and the analog stick feels much tighter and more responsive. Better D-Pad too, although there's also the official NES and SNES Classic Controllers for the other platforms on the Wii Virtual Console such as the NES, SNES, Genesis, etc.

>>3570787
That's not necessarily a bad thing. If anything, it shows that they knew what micro code was being used for each game and that the emulation quality may vary from game to game. You just can't inject .wads into any random N64 Virtual Console game and expect good results.

>>3574058
>so putting a gamecube stick in a 64 controller is bad?
yeah

>Is the Hori mini pad equally bad in that regard?
no. hori mini pad is the best 3rd party controller currently available for n64, but it's still considerably more sensitive (larger deadzone) than the OEM controller and has fewer angle steps, so it's not as precise.

it's more or less fine for pretty much every game other than racing games, shooters, or games that primarily use d-pad.

another decent option is the raphnet gamecube to n64 adapter. it's mapped very accurately and works significantly better for most n64 games than using a gcn controller on virtual console. most notable downsides are having to use the c-stick and huge awkward shoulder buttons. and obviously it's still not as precise as the OEM n64 controller.

the oem n64 controller had such great functionality. it's a shame the physical design was so shit.

wait so, is it the adapter fault?


also, so are saying overall the n64 is the most sensitive, recoiling, dead zone'd, smooth moving, and angle stepped Analog joystick ever created?

and the industry just move on to ps1 design concept in a trade off of usability for durability?

>You have a dim TV.
It looks like that on both my capture card and my TV, without changing any settings between the N64 and VC. N64 is always bright and colorful. VC is dark and washed out. No difference in settings.

If my TV and capture card were dim, my N64 would be dim too, not just VC.

I'm the one who took the screenshot. I took that picture from the original Wii VC. I can make more comparison images if you'd like.

See that screenshot up there? I changed nothing between the two other than the console. The video settings on each are exactly the same.

This time use uncompressed .pngs for a more accurate image. What cables are you using for N64 and Wii?

I would use the same for both, whether it be RGB, YPbPr, S-Video, Composite, etc.

The stick isn't the main concern. It is the bowl and the 2 black parts that spin the sensors. Those are the ones that wear out

The VC has always been "dark" and this should not be new information for anybody after 10 fucking years.

N64 games on the VC also output at 480i instead of 240p and as of 2016, cannot be forced to 240p with hacks, polygons are drawn at double the internal resolution, and there is no VI filter.

The more you know

it's new information to the guy who is arguing with me about it.

[Anonymous No.3578190]

>>3578173
That's what I'm saying. 480p is clearly better for N64 games since the polygons are much sharper with less aliasing. The lack of the N64's primary and secondary blur also helps.

Maybe somewhere down the road someone will modify the N64 emulators on the Wii VC to restore the proper color palette and eliminate deadzone on the GCN controllers.

>>3578178
No, it's not. I've known that the N64 VC is darker than original hardware for quite some time now.

>eliminate deadzone on the GCN controllers.
It's not just the deadzone that sucks. It's having to use the c-stick for the camera, and the analog shoulder buttons for Z and R inputs.

Playing N64 games on any of the controllers for VC is a garbage experience for a multitude of reasons.

[Anonymous No.3578361]

>>3578359
The C-Stick and shoulders buttons are fine. Just get rid of the deadzone on the analog stick and shoulders buttons and you're good to go.

>C-Stick and shoulders buttons are fine
It's common for people who haven't used the c-buttons recently to believe this. I swear the only people think SM64 has a bad camera is because they played it with a gamecube controller.

So do you, or don't you like the shoulder buttons?

I always thought Super Mario 64 had a bad camera, even when use the C Buttons on an official N64 controller. The camera was just primitive and is very dated. OoT used SM64 as a base engine and improved immensely on the camera mechanics.

How did OOT improve upon SM64's camera? All it does is give you less control.

The only control it gives you is pressing Z to focus the camera the direction Link is facing, which you can also do in SM64 by pressing R.

The camera in Mario 64 is pretty bad in general. I guess it was great for the time, but I just played through 40 stars yesterday with my friend and there were many areas where I couldn't get the camera to show me where I was going. This was on an N64 controller btw.

Damn, you must really suck at video games. I've never had a problem with the camera in that game at all.

To get the camera to follow behind mario you press R, then C-down to zoom out. How do people find this complicated?

I know about that trick but it got stuck a few times in the pyramid and in another level I'm forgetting.

Regardless, it's bad game design to make the player have to do button combos to normalize the camera. I don't think they could have done any better in 1996 though. It's an amazingly ahead of it's time game.

Why? Because you have to think about more things at one time than just controlling your character?

It's not an immediately intuitive camera, there's a learning curve, but it's not like it's inconsistent or random. It does the same thing every time if you do the same inputs. Most people are just too retarded and lazy to learn how to use it properly.

I prefer consistent cinematic-esque camera angles over follow-cams or analog-cams any day. It means you have to calculate angling your movement properly with the joystick as opposed to literally holding forward the whole game. It also makes gameplay look cooler.
