    Just a quick note on this episode: We actually had a section in this episode about the Retro Receiver from 8bitdo that allows you to use bluetooth controllers on your NES. Since that would have made this episode nearly 40 minutes, which lets face it -- is way too long for a video about controller adapters. It's also fairly new product that people might be interested in watching a video about we decided to split that segment into its own episode which we'll release next week.

    • @GamerOutdated
      @GamerOutdated 8 років тому +9

      They have :P you just plug the usb cable and bang wired! I personally like wireless controllers simply because prevent people around my house from trip over the cord, another great advantage it's the fact that you don't need to replace the controller if the cable is broken.
      But i do think wired controllers do still have their place on the market, specially for competitive gaming (fighting games ect)

    I bought one of the Raphnet adapters to use a SNES controller with my Gamecube a few years ago. Much, MUCH cheaper that the Hori Gameboy Player controller. Plus, playing GBA games on a TV with a Super Nintendo controller feels sooooo right. It's like the last 20 years never happened.

      Agreed... I was watching this, hoping to find that some low-profile seller had an adaptor for play on a PS2 or original XBox. With an extended hard drive and CoinOps on an XBox, all it's waiting for is a decent D-pad and six-button layout! :-/

    • @ReigningSemtex
      @ReigningSemtex 8 років тому +3

      +Ruaidhri O'Baoill your right there's no cheap and easy way to do that I have thought about doing that recently, ps2 to xbox adapters were readily available so I ended up using a wireless ps2 controller for coinops with some success but I really want to use my Saturn controller. I think the only way to do it is by daisy chaining a couple of adapters (and I worry about the response times) I have a Saturn to dreamcast adapter so all I need is a dreamcast to xbox adapter and I can hopefully get this glorious 6 button controller working with some quality arcade games 😊

    • @Lakster37
      @Lakster37 8 років тому +5

      Look up one of Adam Koralik's videos. He got a Dreamcast -> Xbox set-up working (I think he ended up daisy chaining through a PS2 adapter), though the adapters he used are rather expensive. Also, you might see with Raphnet if there would be some way to get his Saturn -> USB to work with the original Xbox. From my understanding, it's controller port is just a modified version of USB, so it might be able to.

    • @ReigningSemtex
      @ReigningSemtex 8 років тому +3

      +Lakster37 thank you. I have watched quite a few of Adams uploads but hadn't seen the one you mentioned so I'll have a look. I had wondered that myself because I recently bought a mayflash Saturn to usb adapter (for gpd xd) and I remember you could make an adapter to use usb drives on the original xbox I just wasn't sure it would work with controllers. If this works it would be so freaking cool

    • @Fattydeposit
      @Fattydeposit 8 років тому +3

      The Saturn controllers are all wonderful. Ultimately the Snes school of button placement became the standard but the 2nd gen Saturn pad - with its smooth as butter ergonomics, ultra low weight, 6 main face buttons AND Snes-type shoulder buttons - was always my favourite. The 'claw technique' gets a bad rap but many technical action games would have to be dumbed down to be playable on today's default controllers. Alien Soldier on a SNES or PS1 pad? Good luck trying to exert half as much control finesse without three lined-up face buttons resting naturally under three perfectly aligned finger tips. A claw hander will wipe the floor with you any day.

  • @Jayrod64

    I actually just bought an 8bitdo Adapter specifically to use the 8bitdo SNES30, a Bluetooth replica of the SNES controller, on my Wii U. It says the adapter is for the NES Classic Edition, but as far as I'm aware, it uses the Classic Controller plug, meaning it should most likely work perfectly.

    Holy crap, I'm gonna have to pick up that Gamecube to N64 controller adapter. The GC controller is one of the best ever made IMO, and the much improved stoutness of the stick alone would fix a lot of issues I have going back to some N64 titles these days. Great video, guys, I think it will do well!

      The mode button is not really an input button though. It was purely there to switch the 6-button controller into 3-button mode for certain games that were incompatible with it. (Like Forgotten Worlds and Golden Axe II.) I don't imagine the Genesis adapter would even register that button press.

    That's so wild, maybe cause it was my first real system growing up that I owned, but I am of the opposite opinion. I love the N64 controller. Yes, the D-Pad is situated in such a way that you have to choose between the joystick and it when holding it, but I actually can't even think of a game off the top of my head that required you to use both. And that suited me just fine, because the joystick was perfect for just about all of the games you would want to play. I've heard more people prefer the GameCube controller, something that I will never understand, but to each their own I guess!

    I've been using the Raphnet N64 -> Gamecube adapter for a few weeks now and it's worked great, but with a minor hiccup. I've noticed I cannot be too far out of the line of sight with my Wavebird otherwise it starts to read the input incorrectly. This isn't a problem with the actual Gamecube or the adapter for the Wii u, but for whatever reason it exists with this adapter. The wired controllers of course work perfectly and I have no problem using them, but the convenience of a sophisticated wireless controller for the N64 is optimal.
    Anyways great video as always. I'm glad you guys are getting these things out in the open so that people can get them and have great alternatives to the original controllers.

It was really neat using it again, and I actually didn't have any problems this time.

    I'd like to say that the Raphnet N64 controller adapter is almost if not completely perfect in everything I've thrown at it. Everyone who reviews the Hori Pad Mini neglects to mention that it's pretty bad for shooting games as the stick is too sensitive to aim properly but with the raphnet adapter everything works like a charm in Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and any other games! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good alternative to the original controller who liked the GCN controller like I did!
    Special thanks to MyLifeInGaming for first introducing me to the adapter and for making the N64 a whole new experience with this controller adapter! Great work guys!

    I ordered 2 of their plugs that connect directly to the Wii GC ports to avoid lag. Aside from Sega, Atari and Retroarch games, the Wii Classic controller is the best controller to use for Nintendo's systems. But these Raphnet plugs are gonna make emulation feel like the real thing.

    I remember seeing the first Playstation to PC USB converter back in 2001, and I bought it immediately. They weren't in widespread distribution, so I had to get them from some Hong Kong website. I have worn out, lost, or damaged a few over time, but I still like using them.
    Also, there are so many barely used Dualshock controllers at a low price.

    I might be off in wanting this, but I would love to see an adapter for the original Xbox that lets you use a 360, Xbox1, or even a PS4 controller on the original Xbox. For as solid as the S is, I really don't like the placement of the start/back, and B/W buttons on the side in contrast to the 360's use of bumpers.

    • @mylifeingaming
      @mylifeingaming  8 років тому +1

      [Try4ce] I really like the Wii U Pro Controller. I wouldn't use it for 2D games much though, because of the Dpad location (which is OK, just not as good as other options). Though to be honest, when given the option to use the GamePad, I tend to do that. I enjoy the screen, and find it pretty much just as comfortable as the Pro Controller. The only issue with the GamePad is that sometimes it can feel like a longer reach from the face buttons to the right stick. I prefer sticks to be on the same level, like on Wii U and DualShocks, rather than the staggered sticks like on Xbox (which is OK, but I do prefer even sticks). Overall I really like the Pro Controller, but I personally don't feel like it's much better than the GamePad or anything (sacrificing the screen functionality is too much, I think!).

    I got the 'SNES controller to Wiimote adapter' from Raphnet-tech and it is AMAZING!
    It lets me not only use an SNES controller on my wiiU with any game that accepts the original wii pro controller, but it also lets you set the thumbpad to register as the left analog stick for games that otherwise wouldn't have let you do that. I can play the newest Smash Bros with the thumbpad and that's exactly what I bought it for. I know several people will call this sacrilege, but I hate it when games play in 2D but only allow you to use analog sticks, and Smash is one of those games for me. This adaptor fixed this and I couldn't be happier. Also it's pretty cool to be able to play nearly all my new/modern wiiU games with an SNES controller.

    Someone's probably already noted this, but if you want twin stick controls in Goldeneye and Perfect dark, just use two controllers.
    No, really - it splits look/strafe/move between the two sticks, in a very 'modern' fashion, across the two controllers.

    This video brings up a topic that I'm sure many of us have had, or shall I say...felt.
    That is, how using a controller that wasn't originally in mind for use during the games development, tends to bug me big time.
    Such as using a SNES controller on a Genesis, or reverse.
    There is just something about having the matching feeling of a controller with that system...especially when it comes to more retro systems where games tended to be exclusive to that console.
    I'm surprised that no one has made a video discussing this and going further into why people feel that way...minus nostalgia, even when the switched controller functions just fine in a technical sense.

While I have a PC I often boot up my Mega Drive for a quick Super Street Fighter II arcade run and I always wanted to use my usb arcade stick with it. I mean, these things are bulky and expensive enough as it is and vintage arcade sticks tend to be even more expensive and much more fragile. I already got a raphnet adapter to use my Mega Drive pads on the Gamecube and Wii since I own both and my wii still has the GC controller ports.

    Daisy Chaining adapters can have great results. Want to use a wireless PS3 or PS4 controller on your GameCube or Wii? Get a Gemini/Game Elements PS2 to Xbox/GameCube adapter, and plug a Brook PS3/PS4 to PS2 adapter into it, and voila! Works fantastic and there is, no noticeable lag, even with two adapters joined together. The sensitivity and precision of Sony's analog sticks always felt a tad better than Nintendo or Microsoft, to me.
