I've only got a little experience with 3.x. I mean to say it wasn't as polished as Microsoft's solution would be an understatement, but it seemed to work well. For anyone who hasn't done it, installing it is a real adventure. Instead of a step-by-step installer like you'd expect from just about any other piece of software, you have to read through lots of steps in the manual, each of which involves running some commands, knowing exactly what type of hard drive controller you have, etc. There was a lot of going in and out of various tools, making configuration files, and so on. I guess classic Unix operating systems were like this too?

He's apparently started buying cheap "audiophile" power cables from Amazon just for the novelty/ridiculousness:

It's by 8bitdo, which is a good sign. For whatever it's worth, I have an 8bitdo SNES-alike controller and it's absolute top quality. My hands literally cannot tell it apart from an original Nintendo-made controller.

For my purposes, I'd prefer if it was wired USB instead of bluetooth, but it still works perfectly as it is. I can't even detect any lag from the wireless when playing Mario or Street Fighter II, and I swear I can feel the lag from wireless mice, and no I'm NOT just imagining it.

welp that's getting ordered soon

and yeah, 8bitdo makes very very good controllers. I own a few SF30s and they're incredibly good quality, 1:1 SNES controllers. I can't recommend them enough.

e. Oh, it looks like they don't sell the 1:1 controllers anymore at least on Amazon, that sucks. I don't really like the redesign's look, but I'm sure the hardware is still great.

e2. I take that back, I like the color scheme / look of this one: https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Sn30-Bluetooth-Gamepad-Classic-Nintendo/dp/B0734MTKWQ/ref=sr_1_54?keywords=sf30&qid=1573544136&sr=8-54&th=1

8bitdo stuff is pretty choice. I use the original nespro30 with the clip on my phone for RetroArch.

My only complaint about the newer one is that it can't wake up the switch, so I end up using the Pro controller half the time anyway.

To link it back, if you retrogame, I've heard that the 8bitdo Bluetooth adaptors for the retro consoles are pretty choice, as is the GC adaptor for Switch.

Yes to the adapter. I have a customised DS4 that I like so it is nice to have a good "player one" controller; sadly it only synchs to one controller at a time.

I've already sent him a message asking if he wants anything specific considering his current thing with Worms. Also have an Amiga collector in Western Australia who has literal shipping containers of Amigas interested.

(As for wrestling, Retrorecipes would take him easily)

I got this as a birthday present when I was 8, and man I don't remember it being that bad, but it was bad. Used a serial to 3.5mm audio port to transfer photos. Resolution of 160x120. You could save a whopping 6 images at a time. Took like 15 seconds to transfer each image. The software that came with it was the best part for kid me. Here's the LGR video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfFeCfp_xPk

oh hey in high school I had the unbranded version of this, exactly the same specs-wise, just silver and bricklike instead of cartoon colored and whimsical

it was incredible to me because it cost like $40, like maybe five years after Sony Mavicas (640x480 on a 3.5" floppy) were going for $700
