I built and tested the OpenPuck today, very easy to buy the (1) parts, very easy to flash and use, very useful device.

I am to last to write an article about it, but maybe someone in the staff might be interested in doing that? I think it is something very interesting that will be great to show as a new article or something, some kind of explanation of what is does, what to buy, how to flash it, a review of how it works on PC, Android, iOS, Switch, PS4/5 (explaining when you need additional hardware to make it work there) etc, etc.

Not sure who to mention here, @shaunj66 , @Costello , @Chary , somebody else?

Recently bought Retro-Bit's Tribute 64 controller.

I doubt I'll use it much, but looks pretty comfortable and very stylish.

This is the design the N64 controller should have had because the "/|\" design always confused me how was I supposed to hold it. Now I know as an adult I know.

Edit: Typo.

Go for it, it can probably be featured on the front page as long as its formatted correctly

I only tested the PS3 controller emulation on a PS3, it did have a few hipcups getting it to recognize the first time, mainly settings issue on the chip itself, even if I did the command to swap to ps3 mode, wouldnt work. Had to put the chip in permanent ps3 mode rather than resetting back to steam puck mode after plugging the chip in.
The only thing that doesnt work was turning the system on with the controller, just turns the controller on and does nothing.

The best ones to try to contact currently are @Scarlet @KiiWii or @Prans since they have been most active reviewers lately.

Decided to buy the official N64 Rumble Pak and then read the third party Gamester N64 Rumble Pak works without batteries so purchased it. I'll just resell the official on a N64 bundle and keep the Gamester for the Tribute 64 controller.

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

I'm an old fart.
