Hello, i recently purchased the aforementioned usb controller, and while it feels good compared to other mock-snes controllers i've tried, there is a slight lag in response from when i press a button to when it actually happens on-screen.
I d rather not have a mess of systems and cartridges out for my kids to tear up and to constantly have to switch around at their whims, a deck-of-cards-sized console with everything loaded on a single sd card seems much more appealing. Snes9x is one of the best snes emulators out there. Source, i own both the retrolink and tomee. It looks like genesis, games with the list price. The snes usb controller is specifically designed for playing classic.
#RETROLINK NES CONTROLLER FOR SALE DRIVER#
Original titile, usb n64 controller i bought a retrolink usb controller and i installed the driver but the device does not show up on the driver, i tried something but now the driver isnt there and reads the device as unknown. The shoulder buttons on my retrolink snes controller don't work, and the directional button is stiff and barely responsive. This turned into a pretty long post for such a simple is the official front end for the libretro api. Is it POSSIBLE, that the voltage difference in the caps makes a difference? They both have 2 caps on the back side of the board.the one that works well (LEFT) has a 25v 47uF cap and the Retrolink (right) has a 16v 47uF cap. Here is the only difference I can find between the 2 controllers: The rubber bits that get pushed by the Dpad to make contact with the PCB look and feel identical: You can't see it very well here, but the circuit boards are the same model number. They're SOOOO much the same thing, which doesn't make sense to me The Amazon controller looks identical to the Retrolink controller (except for the sticker.but I'm pretty sure the sticker isn't making the controller behave erratically) so I took them apart. if I push up and left, the emulator works fine and moves him left. if I push down, the controller (USUALLY) thinks I'm pushing down and either left or right, and it turns out that when I'm trying to move left it thinks i'm pushing DOWN and left. but if I push down to the right, he stops. it turns out that when I'm running in SMB I'm not usually pushing pure right, I'm pushing up and to the right, but the emulator takes care of it and makes Mario run. the only problem is pure "down" is hard to achieve.
#RETROLINK NES CONTROLLER FOR SALE WINDOWS#
I looked in Windows Devices and under properties where you can test the D-pad and stuff, it seems to be working pretty well. I've since read a lot of reviews saying the d-pad sucks, but no one really discussing WHY it sucks.
Then occasionally I'd have trouble making him go left. Everything was going ok until I tried to make Mario slide under some bricks. So I thought I'd play a more simple game and fired up Super Mario Bros. I played some Legend of Zelda, link moved didn't think he could move diagonally but his movement the best workd I can think of to describe it. The Retrolink is VERY iffy in the d-pad department. I thought it was an awesome price and super cool that I found a local shop (close to me, I think it's a national chain) that had something so nerdy and cheap so I picked it up!
The Retrolink USB NES controller that ThinkGeek sells for $30! Then a few days ago I was at a store called Five Below and they had a very similar product for only $5. So I bought Classic USB NES Controller from Amazon a few weeks ago.
