Just get a controller attachment
>>736256285Only if you are a disgusting fat fingered fuck.
There's some Illuminati like movement that is trying to take buttons away from every electronic appliance on earth.Even cars are but touch screens now, surprises me that they were unable to turn steering wheels into some disgusting touch screen
>>736256452touchscreen controls are never justifiable
>>736256551>tfw no physical back button>no physical home button either>at least for now volume and power are still physical>for now
>>736256452This. Touchscreen buttons work fine for slower games like jrpgs or puzzles or stuff. Also turn on haptic feedback and it'll feel better too
>>736256442Which one is good? And how do you not fumble around with it awkwardly and needing to attach it or carry it separately all the time?
>>736256551Shhh don't give them ideas.
>>736256285>most phones have bluetooth>most wireless controllers are bluetooth>????>profit how is this hard?
>>736257930Same questions then>>736257206
>>736258083...anon you can do it with both the xbox an ps controllers, it actually isnt hard... unless you got like a ten year old phone or somethin
>>736256551I don't understand this at all. What's the benefit to the companies? Aren't complicated touch screens more expensive to produce and install than simple digital buttons with on/off states?
...because I sympathize with laziness, sometimes.
>>736258737>Aren't complicated touch screens more expensive to produce and install than simple digital buttons with on/off states?Probably not as they chose this path and companies are always profit oriented. Buying a batch of slightly larger screens is probably cheaper than buying shorter screens + a batch of physical buttons + programming your soldering bots to solder said buttons on the pcbs and whatnot.
>>736258952But >>736257206
>>736256285retards trying to make touch screen devices into gaming machines have always been retardedthe only thing they're good for is bejeweled type simple puzzle games that work well on a touch screenanyone who wants to play anything more complex on their phones is a fucking retard
>>736259127You make sacrifices and compromise, numbnuts.
>>736258737surprisingly, no, the touchscreen in 90% of cases is actually cheaper then the different manufacturing process it takes to make and maintain physical buttons. reliability as well since physical buttons do have a 'life span' of sorts and will ware and drift over time, touch screens now are either 100% fine or 100% dead with no inbetween.
>put emulator on phone>plug appropriate controller to phone>now you're just playing whatever console you're emulating but on a small screenIs this too hard for you OP?
>>736258273>xbox an ps controllersso you put your phone on a table or on your legs?that sounds like shit, why even use a phone theni rather play on my vita or 3ds
>>736257206M-Con or GameSir Pocket Taco.
>>736259381yeah this i just hold the controller with two hands and the phone with my third middle hand
>>736259512Phone holders exist for both xbox and ps controllers
good morning gamesirs
in the sea of shit that is /v/, threads like these restore my faith in anon. helping without full spoon feeding with a generous coat of fucking with op, never change anons
>>736259595>imagine being this retarded
>>736258737I think it's just easier to program one screen than hardwire buttons.
>>736259612And how the fuck do you carry that in your pockets with your phone then?
>>736259512Because vita and 3ds can't play every game like phones can
>>736259831>>736259306
>>736259831Jeez I don't know anon.
>>736256285Or you can just use a Steam Deck.
>>736256285>touchscreen controls>portrait
>>736256285Excuse me but how the fuck do you even play MKDS with those controls? You literally can't drift let alone snake
>>736260187Ever heard of the claw grip?
>>736260073I can do landscape but portrait makes the buttons way too small and impossible to use. I don't know how people can do it

>>736260753It's convenient and incognito, keeping you from looking like a sperg in public.

>>736260809The fuck is wrong with you? ps2 is like baseline entry for phone emulation. its harder to get most nintendo shit past 64 to work then anything ps1/2/3. five minutes on google can get you setup for ps2
>>736260981>dont get a wireless one because they need to chargethe wired one suck your phones battery, get wireless. its an extra thing to charge but overall you get more playtime
I managed to get pretty far in Balloon Fight using just my touchscreen controls. In the past input lag was a problem, but now it's so small that the majority of games can be completed. Even if that isn't the case, you can still easily transfer a save from mobile to PC and continue that way.
>>736261105>suck your phone batterythis is the emulator, not the controller, unfortunatelythey have pass through charging anyways, and portable power bricks are pretty cheap, if you are taking it in a bag its trivial to bring oneif you have a wired one and low battery, you can just charge the phone through it, but if you have a wireless one and both the controller and phone have low battery you're SOL
>>736259595>He doesn't have a third N64 controller handLMAOing at your life
>his phone doesn't have physical buttons on it to play vidya withHeh, nothin' personnel kid
>>736261434What can it play? Java shit?
>>736260701>>learning morse in class for telegraphsThere's no way.
>>736261648Pretty sure I had snes roms on this thing. Or maybe it was one of the other models.
>>736260918Why do care about public?
>>736261648Doom RPGDare you to name even one phone game better.
>>736261979Way. When I was a kid we lived in a very remote an isolated mountain town. We only had single wire transmission for decades cause they couldnt get the equipment needed for the compound cables for phones until decades after. So the only primary school we had still taught morse even after i had left for the work force.
>>736259595way to out yourself as a dicklet
Ideal solution is a controller that can break into 2 and attach on either side of your phone or reattach as a whole and stay as a regular controller.

>>736256442I dont understand why no company make a package of phone/tablet + controller and exclusive games of AAA developers
>>736272186What do you think Chinese handhelds are exactly? That entire market is exactly that. The reason they are not big is because >Android sucks ass compared to Linux for emulators as they're consistently out of date and have Android overhead to deal with.>Input lag on DS and 3DS makes touch-screen heavy games unplayable.>For higher end machines you need bespoke drivers to do stuff like Switch or Gamehub at any remotely usable capacity.>Thermal throttling can happen or you need cooling solutions when you're doing stuff on higher end systems.>Battery life is horrific past PS1 sometimes only being 2-3 hours before you need to charge.>Cost is ridiculous to start moving past PS2 and GC to the point you're paying a minimum of $300 and that doesn't even guarantee you native stable framerates let alone upscales which are usually necessary to not have the game look terrible on those devices.>When you get to Wii U and up you're literally paying $600-1000 for some of these devices.>Quality control is pure trash as seen with AYN, Retroid, and Miyoo. Magic X, Anbernic, and TrimUI are the only ones who seem to have any quality control at all and virtually none of the high end guys offer warranties.On top of you needing to tinker and set up to make sure everything runs how you want it. Smartphone emulation is mostly a meme. The important devices are Linux-based since they don't have garbage emulator support, and the few that are decent on Android are bruteforcing its issues away and cost more than Steam Decks at times.
>>736257206I use MCON, if you're patient you should just wait for clones or when they slim it down.
>>736273045Slimming it down sounds good
>>736256285Don’t they have like connectable ps3 handheld controls to your smartphone. And sunglasses where you can put your phone on, so you can walk around outside without holding your phone. Coming soon probably, it doesn’t look that stupid and it’s way more comfy.
Why is it unacceptable to, for example, play Pokemon fire red on your switch while sitting at an outdoor cafe table but completely acceptable if you sat at that same cafe table playing the same pokemon fire red but on your phone?
>can playFalse. They can emulate, which is to say, inaccurately simulate a game. It's like playing a shitty chinkshit bootleg. Emulators are trash for poorfaggots and retards who cant afford to play on original hardware.
>>736273273nobody in real life cares about anyone they encounter in public use headphones and don't make a scenequenten is gay as fuck
>>736273273Because no one would fucking know what you do on your phone unless they were within extreme proximity, whereas unless you have all black joycons for your switch to mask it as a tablet in a best case scenario, you are without a doubt outing yourself as a fucking child inside a grown up body. You know this, everyone knows this, and unless you're the kind of person who just doesn't give a fuck and does what they want, you are absolutely just being disingenuous by asking that question.

>>736273895TATE mode, think of vertical shmups or vertical arcade games in general like PAC-MAN or Donkey Kong.
