Invert Y (Right stick)

[NakedFaerie]

So ive read and read and still no answer.

Some Switch games come out without an Invert Y option so HOW do you invert Y on the console?

People have said you can do that in the system settings under controller. NO YOU CANT.
You can swop R stick with L stick.
You can turn it from portrait to landscape.
But you CANT invert Y anywhere ive found in the settings.

So all you who say it can be done, WHERE is that option?

I play in portable mode 99% of the time, my pro controller is dead as i havent used it in about 6 months, thats how much i dont use it anymore. (Got other consoles that use the TV, why waste the big screen on the switch)

Games like 'kill it with fire' dont have Invert Y and the devs refuse to add that so needed feature. So to make the game playable for us 50% of the userbase who do invert Y we need a way to do it.

So, my question is HOW?

Would like to know if there is a way to do this as well.

Is it 50% of the userbase that is the victim of 80s flight sims?

Three main approaches

For hacked systems I believe there were some system level options to remap controls (as opposed to the far more annoying hacking each and every individual game, possibly multiple times over if there are different aspects within it). I have covered game level stuff in the past but will skip it for today (short version is you can attack the debounced* data, change what the thing is looking for/reads as up and down, and if there is any kind of control remapping inside the game, be it selection of choices or more programmable, then that opens up a bunch of other options).
*most things don't read the control state every time it needs to do something, mainly as that way major annoyances like thanks to switch bounce, but instead once a frame or something will copy the state of data and have everything operate from that. Change this and you have a control hack.

Hardware approach. Sticks are usually a little X sensor and Y sensor. In this case you could desolder things, change it so the Y sensor is wired backwards (should be fine whether it is resistance, which all those drifting joycons say is likely the case here, or position sensor). Can even add a switch to change it back -- DPDT toggle switch has reversing things on a single switch being their main use case really https://mgispeedware.com/product/6-pin-toggle-switch-dpdt/ for an example.
No need for hacked console or fiddling with settings for this one, can take it round a friend's if you like too and it will work fine on their setup as well.

There are options to take remote control options from outside the console. If said remote control is something you can control to the nth degree like a PC then should be easy to invert sticks if you attach the joycons (or whatever you want) to the PC and have something remapping controls on said PC.

So your saying to rewire the controller just so you can play 1 game with inverted-y controls as it doestn have it in the game itself...... ok.......
I dont want to be rude but your next vax shot is waiting.

For anyone else, why dont ALL game devs make sure there is an option?
Ive found a few games now on switch with no invert-y option and I find it really hard expecially for 3rd person games when you are fighting and it comes down to timing between dying and killing the enemy and you look the wrong direction and lose all track of where you are and die. Thanks for not letting me look the direction I need to look.
If the devs wont do it then the console creator should stand up and do it. Steam does, when you go to its controller screen, at the bottom there is a "reverse Y on right stick" tickbox right there.

On xbox there is a global option so you can tell all games how you play with a lot of settings and most games will listen to those options. Vibration, invert-y, flip triggers from let to right, stick sensitivities, all sorts of settings. Playstation has someting similar but on PS4/5 they dont listen to that settings. I've never seen it work.

But on switch there is no such setting and no invert option anywhere. Every other button and option is there but invert-y is the only setting many users need and dont have.

I've struggled to play many switch games from this lack of option.
On other platforms I get refunds if that option is missing. Switch, there is no refund policy and no way to find out if this option is there or not beforehand.
