the n64 controller was like the model t of game controllers man i.e. insanely unergonomic and alien by modern conventions of human-machine interactions

doesn’t matter, it’s still a DE-9 connector, and if you look at the actual ports you’ll see that they have 9 pins on them quote:well poo poo wait a sec that's the pin for the button; how the hell did my button work you sure you’re not thinking of it reversed, and that’s not the pin for the B paddle (and the one above it for the A paddle)?

I could reach z and the stick from the left side of the n64 controller and it is perfect in every way

there's a few variations on that loop, they all appear to be caused by the update packagers being syphilitic gibbons that add loving pants on head stupid pre-install checks that fail in entirely novel ways with absolutely no error handling of course none of this is caught, because there's no need for QA, we'll just have the devs test it themselves

either the next cumulative update will fix it, or no cumulative update will ever apply again, because it's looking for some bullshit that doesn't exist and isn't actually required for the install to proceed
