Need a new controller for my original N64 cos the joysticks on my old controllers all feel like shit. If this is shit, then what do you recommend? Not so keen on the traditional trident design
I think it’s great at replicating the N64 layout in a modern form factor, though I still haven’t quite adjusted yet to having two Z-buttons behind L and R. The face buttons are perfect and look great in their original colors.
It's bad for FPS games where you need to use both the d-pad and analog stick at the same time.
>>12919015The stick on these is wildly sensitive, I found them practically unusable for racing games.
>>12919207I've had a similar experience. It's great a lot of the time, but games like F-Zero, not good.
>>12919015>8shitdoLollmao even
>>12919015replace the joysticks
>>12919119No sane person does this, so moot point.
>>12919431no sane person plays sin and punishment
>>12919015havent used this one, but definitely dont get the retrofighters controller. cheap and flimsy. some people online are glazing the chromatic controller, but it might just be hype.
I like mine. Though the fact that the c buttons are mapped as analog stick axises can make things kind of weird if you try using it as a general 6 button controller instead of exclusively using it for N64. The alternate input mode maps the c buttons as actual seperate buttons but I think it's only intended for use on a nintendo switch and it's really fussy trying to get it to connect to a PC in that mode and stay connected.
>>12919119name twenty (20) FPSs that require this
>>12919623that probably has to do with the fact that most n64 emulators will map the c buttons to the right stick by default.
>>12919015No it's objectively bad because it doesn't match the benchmarks of the original analog stick every game was developed for. You'll get utterly bizarre genetic mutations in some games like being able turn a car on two wheels in body harvest, or being able to run faster than the game was designed for.You can roll the dice and try to find a controller in good condition and lubricate it once a month.Or you can buy one of the steel stick options that are available now there about 150 a piece. Alternatively you can get a controller in good condition and just get a steel bowl with it. The controller will still wear down eventually but you'll greatly increase its durability.
>>12919015Sticks in the wrong spot.
>>12919985>or being able to run faster than the game was designed for.How does this even happen?Every analog stick has a minimum and a maximum X and Y axis value it can send to the game, usually represented as -1 and 1.Are you saying the official N64 stick doesn't actually reach the maximum value? So only third party controllers can do this?
>>12920000I'm not a tech guy, someone on here explained that the games framerate? Or the games programming is tied in with the controller. I've even seen games where i can't even turn left.
i have this oneits good
>>12920037made by retro fighters
>>12920037It sucks you lose degrees of precision movement as well as having shitty benchmarks third party controller from the nineties beat
>>12920037>>12920041>been out of production for fucking years
>>12920068Canuck online retailers like PNPGames still seem to have some in stock. Not sure whether to grab that or the new "Pro" model though.
>>12919119So nothing that's on the N64 then.
>>12920096I’m pretty sure close to every shooter in the console at least has it as an option. Disregarding FPS, it’s absolutely essential for Bangai-O and clearly the intended way to play.
>>12920068ebay has them
>>12920037>covered in grimebitch you live like this?
>>12919985>You can roll the dice and try to find a controller in good condition and lubricate it once a month.OP hereI took your advice and followed a youtube tutorial to lubricate my current joystick. It was pretty clean and in good condition, but bone dry.Lube made the ride feel nicer.Thanks anon.
>>12921789>Lube made the ride feel nicer.>Thanks anon./vr/ love story
>>12919015i like it but i think the stick is much more sensitive that the original hardware. at least it felt like it when i played goldeneye
>>12919094shouldn't z button be left bumper? Then you have weird inverse of right bumper being normal and left bumper assigned to being trigger
>>12924683>shouldn't z button be left bumper?anon that should be the L shoulder button
>>12924683>>12924852The problem with the N64’s trident controller layout is that since most games were designed to be played with the two rightmost prongs, the Z-trigger became the de facto L button, despite the fact that the controller still had a dedicated L button. So it gets to be a bit confusing on a modern controller with a pair of bumpers and triggers on each side.
>>12925475Z is R2/L2. what is hard about that?
>>12926057kino. soul. ludo.
>>12919015N64 had the perfect layout:>Nintendo/Sony's 4-button diamond.>Nintendo's A and B combo.>SEGA's double rows.All into a single layout, I wish it became the standard.
>>12927458>N64 had the perfect layout:More like it had everything, but also everything was suboptimal.
>>12927458I wouldn’t say it’s perfect nor optimal, but I can see what Nintendo was going for in trying to ease people into playing 3D games for the first time.
