It hard to play Xinput games with Dinput, you need to have programs for that.

>> No.5274035

>>5273327
>There is literally no reason
Besides that xinput provides an actual control standard on PC, so future games don't require configuration to play? While being backwards compatible with directinput?

I know this whole board is "old good, new bad" but I didn't think that applied to controller apis too.

It is nothing like the X1. The X1 has an actual click from how they positioned the membrane and contacts. No other dpad comes close to that feel. Let alone that my shield controller was used only a few times because it feels cheap, like a ps4 controller.

Garbage plastic and sticks but all I care about is that D-Pad and six face buttons because there's nothing like it.
This is the only reason I'm holding back on buying a fighting commander series, as long as the D-Pad delivers I'm going to get one, especially since it has a proper cable.

They're coming out with one of those as well, with bluetooth retro receivers. I'm gonna wait and see. Unless 8bitdo is somehow involved working with retro-bit like that N64 controller I'm not going to be too enthusiastic.
