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?

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.

    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
