The Automator posted:Wouldn’t it be super trivial to just have a “fix drift” button on the system level that just reads how much the stick is “moving” and compensate? At least for ps5, it seems to recognize each controller as it’s own thing, seems to be a super easy thing to band aid if they chose to. That's pretty close to what the PS2 controllers did AFAIK, the system would change the deadzone on the controller automatically. There's a video somewhere showing how it works.

I understand it will probably introduce a little input lag and stuff, but for 99% of people it won’t really matter much, and it would save $70 every time a dual sense acts stupid. Just had one with a right stick drifting myself, relegating it to permanent mister duty

I guess it's legit then. Seems absolutely stupid the big 3 won't use them, especially if the 3D Saturn pad (and Dreamcast) had it. I'd think people would pay the extra coinage but unless it's utter trash (had that with their regular Saturn pad), I might consider it as my 3D Saturn controller. Maybe other ways too.

Oh they do offer it as an option it's just for the really expensive Sony controller and an overpriced upgrade over the already very expensive controller  .

That honestly sounds worse. Awareness of the problem AND nickel & diming people to have them fix it themselves.

I booted up Shining Force 3 after not playing for 6 months or so and forgot I named the main blonde prince guy "Boners." [Boners: Yes, I'm Boners.] Played through Policenauts and loved it. I wish that one sack of poo poo didn't tell everybody "hey no one else translate Princess Crown cuz I will" and then do nothing but say "almost done!" for 10 years and then disappear. What a loving schmuck. What a terrible fetish. I want to play Princess Crown in English. Also, the Bulk Slash fan translation is pretty nuts and I love that game. Lunacy was weird. Baroque is stressful but cool.

I'm only into Stage 2 but this game is really, really cool. Story-wise I have no loving clue what's going on; it kind of reminds me of Astro Boy? Regardless, it's a blast to play and it's very unique. I've been wanting to jump into this thread for awhile, and it seems like I picked a good time to do so!

I'm glad more people are getting to experience it through the thread, as it is still criminally unknown for a Treasure release (Mischief Makers ended up better known out of their late 90s platformer releases). If anyone can understand the story let me know, it's been over 20 years for me and I still don't fully get the whole thing.

I was going to get a satiator but it took ages to actually release and I didn’t care very much about leaving the cd drive in, just gave it to my friend with a non working one that still used burned cds. Fenrir and satiator are both great options, tho.

I'd like an authentic feeling controller for emulated Saturn games, though I realize it's more akin to the original Saturn controller and not the round 3D controller. Are the shoulder buttons analog?

Definitely interested in hearing your thoughts, those controllers interest me and I'm into hall effect sticks, but I haven't seen many impressions on em online and they're always out of stock when I think of buying. I feel like I can never have too many controllers with my MiSTer.

This game doesn't gently caress around. I'm on the last level but I only have one life left, and if my performance in the previous levels is any indication I definitely won't be beating this game without becoming superhuman in the final stretch. It's been an incredibly fun experience though, and is the kind of game that these Game Clubs are great for. I'm going to go back and play Baroque as well.

I got a cheapo saturn controller (as well as a game) from my local gamestore after trading some stuff in, and I slapped a sticker on it before realizing that it doesn’t work great for shmups (tho it works fine for games like Magic Knight Rayearth?) like, sustained multiple button inputs will eventually cause it to lock up, which is rly frustrating. my other controller (well, the one that isn’t a saturn mouse), an original JP controller, is slightly hosed and will like, input button presses I didn’t register if the wire bends in such a way, so it’s like, tradeoffs depending on the kind of game I’m playing lol

WARNING: A CONTROLLER FIRST IMPRESSION IS APPROACHING FAST The Retro-Bit Saturn Pro Controller came this morning to my home and as I promised, I tried it on some shmups. I'm not good at them but I tried. Menus: The controller correctly responded to my inputs which beat their wired one by default. Darius: I didn't have any issue with the controls. Any problems were due to my lousy play. Radient Silvergun: I found it to be pleasant, very snappy. No issues. Parodius: A bit slow but that's PAL for you. Worked as expected I also tried it with Ape Escape (The manual has a layout for PS3) and the sticks did the job as expected. They remind me of the Vita in that way.

Ok Shosayant (& anyone else): 3D control 1st impressions: First, the directions say the LED on the controller will change color to red or blue depending on being in standard or 3D control. This is a lie. The LED (green) will move from player one to player two instead. Also the left stick is the one used here. The games: Manx: This took some time as the shoulder buttons didn't do anything in the default config. I changed the layout to be the second option (A/C brake, B Accel.) and that allowed me to drive. The bike was responsive to the analog stick (which I realize is more based on the Joycon) though my unfamilarity with the game led me to hit the walls frequently and finish in 4th. Nights: A bit rougher than I was expecting, the stick did work though the movement felt sluggish. Maybe I was doing something wrong or due to running a JP Saturn in NA? May require further investigating. Burning Rangers: Doesn't help when the first command in the tutorial is to press R and it doesn't work (ZR did). Turning off and on the console ended up with me skipping the tutorial and fumbling my way thru the main game. Not a good start but the stick works.

My notes on the Retrobit dual stick in RetroArch: getting it working 100% requires messing with some settings. First off: if you are using this controller with the USB dongle, do not bother with the Start+B nonsense: that only switches between Xinput and Dinput. Not helpful for this. Instead, you have to mess with both RetroArch core options, AND with the input options. The following is for beetle: First off, Quick menu -> Core options -> Input, set "Analog stick deadzone" to 0%. Second, Quick menu -> Controls -> Port 1 controls, set "Device type" to "3d control pad", and also set "Analog to digital" to None. With these changes, Manx TT works fabulously.
