Lucky for me, I’ve done a lot of DIY work on controllers and gaming equipment in the past so I have managed to cut a Post-it note to a size just slightly bigger than the original plastic piece and put it in. That little bend prevents the joystick from sliding anywhere easily and can become frustrating, especially in the middle of a party game. The ring is just small enough that when using it during normal play, it got caught on a part inside the controller and bent the ring a little bit. Now the only problem I did come across while playing with this controller was the plastic ring under the joystick to catch food scraps and such. The flap to lock in an expansion is still there, so you could potentially put a memory card or rumble pack in the back if you felt like it but there’s no clarification as to whether they’re compatible. One “flaw” I could say about the controller is no ability to connect any controller expansion packs to the back.
After about a few days of use, it is still holding up just as it was when I took it out of the package. The buttons and joystick seem very durable and able to take much abuse over time. I felt no lag time between my actions on the controller and the subsequent action in the game itself. The functionality of the controller is superb.
It did come supplied with a small disc (I would assume it’s the drivers for certain systems) but I didn’t need it in the end. The best aspect about this controller though, is that it’s a simple ‘plug in and play’ accessory. It even has a small plastic ring right under the joystick so if you are eating while gaming food scraps will not get caught in the sockets. The joystick is (again) exactly the same as a standard controller with similar resistance however there seems to be no “dead zone” where the joystick can move around without triggering anything, a nice improvement from the original. The buttons function well but can be a little on the tight side to push, something a bit of use will sort out. The buttons have the same placements, look and feel as the original too making it blissfully familiar. The casing of the controller is exactly the same as an official Nintendo one so no need to adjust your grip (if you have one). While I haven’t had the chance to test Retro-Bit‘s wireless offerings yet, their wired controllers have served me perfectly in my short gaming sessions so I’m quite intrigued to check their DC option out.For those of you who had a Nintendo 64 as a kid, using this controller should make you feel right at home. It is safe to assume that Retro-Bit chose not to modify the Genesis and Saturn controllers because of their excellent design and critical acclaim the same could not be said about the Dreamcast controller, unfortunately, as it had its fair share of flaws, pushing power users (especially 2D fighters enthusiasts) to look into more ergonomic options like the ASCII Pad FT. The minimum absolute value of the SDL analog joystick axis to move the N64 controller axis value from 0. Wired & Wireless options will have you making a tough decision, but with a 6-button layout, redesigned Dpad, & new analog stick, you won’t regret either choice. I then map out the Retrolink GC controller. We bring you the #SEGA #Dreamcast controller with features made just for you!
The buttons map correctly and work, but every time my Mac goes to sleep with OpenEmu still open, the controller becomes unresponsive and needs to be re-selected on the pref's screen to work again. The controller is set for release in late 2020. I bought the 'NO DELAY ARCADE INPUT PCB' (chinese part) from ebay for my custom joystick, it registers as a Retrolink N64 (for some reason).
