Anyone here purchasing/collecting retro-inspired controllers like the 8bitdo SFC30, M30, FC30, or inexpensive replicas solely for the purpose of reliving the nostalgic experience of playing retro games on their original consoles?
Surely I ain't alone right? What other controller brands do you guys like or want to share. Feel free to share your favorite controller brands or any recommendations you have ๐
@ComeHereOrIHookYou I have the first generation of 8bitdo controller of the old NES styled pad. Unfortunately a button does not work correctly anymore. What I use nowadays are 3 gamepads, one of them the SNES "inspired" Buffalo Classic USB Gamepad. I want to up the game soon with additional gamepads too. Especially the Genesis/Mega Drive styled one. Let's not forget the N64 pad with its unique button placement. For arcade games I play with an arcade stick. A trackball will follow too, for arcade games that are usually played with one. And maybe an Atari 2600 style old stick too. And I need Wii controllers too... oh well, its a chaos then.
But having so many controllers makes it complicated. Especially whenever I unplug and plugin a controller, it is then registered in different order. That's a nightmare! At least using RetroArch, this is a bit problematic.
I just took a look with the Buffalo Classic USB and certainly it is an interesting SNES inspired controller, to think it has a built in turbo button too.
Agreed having multiple controllers is a pain, especially I have to plug them in and out from time to time.
Mapping controllers on Retroarch is indeed a pain as well, especially trying to map N64 controls.
Last week I bought a N64 inspired controller from SAFFUN, tried mapping it on Retroarch. After a good 10 minutes, I gave up and went with Mupen64plus with Rosalie's Mupen GUI
