Great for PS1 racers (although some had wonky compatibility/calibration depending on how much they cared about it) but it'll destroy your wrists if you play Wipeout games with it
Unnecessary
The only real way to play Namco racers.
>>12574387They're necessary if you want analog controls without deadzones in many racers. GT1 and 2 infamously have terrible big dead zones when using a Dual Shock/Dual Analog, but with a NegCon you can manually configure dead zones to taste>>12574393Funnily enough, the NegCon is actually a cheat in RR games, RRT4 at least, as it provides expanded turning range compared to normal controllers. For example, you can take many turns without forcing a drift which otherwise wouldn't be possible with a normal controller.

>>12574403fascinating wordplay my dear anon
>>12574403>>12574453Wait until you learn how Namco named this one...
>>12574393>The only real way to play Namco racers.This controller also makes the Wipeout games play vastly better. Especially the first one.
I like how cheap it was on ebay japan
>>12574382is there a way to use one of these on a PC?i bought a cheap usb/ps1 pad converter and duckstation didn't recognize it
I do emulate the NigCon with a Steam Controller's gyro.
>>12574586Use mednafen. That should work with it.
>>12574387>UnnecessaryThere's a reason why most of the top Ridge Racer 4 speedrunners use it
>>12574403
>>12574730the original or the new one?
>>12574382Anyone actually own a gen 1 NegCon?I've seen some people online claim that it's supposedly better built, but there's fuck all images comparing the guts any of the three variants (gen 1 with rounded shoulder buttons, gen 2 with rectangular shoulder buttons, gen 3 with black casing).
>>12574970I have two Gen 1 neGcons but I heard Gen 2 is the best due to the shoulder buttons, whereas Gen 3 is the most cost reduced. The only thing it has going for it is the color and being a minor collectable. Both of my Gen 1s were made in Korea, for what its worth.>>12574384You can set the turn radius so a full left or right turn doesn't require a 90 degree twist. You want just enough of a radius to where you can fine tune a turn but not to where any sharp turns require a full twist.
>>12574919The original, of course.
>>12574382>>12574476Didn't namco also released the arcade stick or the gun-con45?
>>12574476A modern one is coming out soon
It is the god machine controller for wipeout fyi. You will smash all your lap times and your wrists.
>>12576470It works with some of the Gran Turismo titles doesn't it?
>>12576510It does.
>>12575945I hope this is good and I also hope I can get an adapter for it to work on my ps1.
>>12574382>Discuss>Doesn't discussWhy are children like this?
Some racing games turn when I set the deadzone to 1mm so I suspect my negcon has something wonky internally but I dare not risk opening it up to find out. It isn't every game though - like ridge racer (and rev) will behave properly with a 1mm deadzone but rage racer won't centre out unless I set to 3mm for example.
>>12574382Innovative and a great way to enjoy racing games on Playstation. Wish there were more Ridge Racer games.
I've never liked how the need for speed games worked with the negcon.
Supposedly wipeout fusion supports the negcon but i've not tried it as that would mean replaying fusion and i'm not sure I can bring myself to do so.
if a modern one were made i would buy it in a heartbeat.
>>12576794Praytell.
>>12577154How come Hori or whoever never made one? Low demand?
>>12574382Which buttons work as select, r2 and l2?
>>12577298Analogue sticks are pretty good now, and for someone who wants something more premium they can just get wheel, it's a niche middleground.
>>12577298>How come Hori or whoever never made one? Low demand?They did have their own hot take on a racing controller, that was designed to imitate the feel of an RC car transmitter. I don;t think it was released outside of Japan?
>>12577450Performance had this for the N64 and PS1.
