Made another test with Super MarioU, Hollow Knight and Super Mario World on retroarch (snes9x) and no
noticeable input lag at all. With retroarch, surprisingly, works a lot better than Retroarch on android. i only has capable of this low input lag on RA Android using the second stance way. Its marvellous.

I got so confident that i paid for the "no ads" versions (and to support the devs of this amazing app).

The only issue, using RA, was when i got to Quick menu pressing minus and plus (select + start on xbox controller), the app get a little weired, the right joystick goes all up and no button working anymore. i put the right analog back on position (using the touch screen) and everything back to normal. tried minus plus once more, no problem.

Using a Galaxy S9 with Pie + Xbox One controller

I really appreciate this app but 2 suggestions from a person with OCD
1) Work on the UI some text are out of icon borders or maybe use more polished icons and fonts
2) the gyro control is a mess in one game I tested (Splatoon 2)

the app works fine, but the latency is HUGE on my side. did you guys do anything to reduce latency? because i'm pretty sure it's related to my phone's terrible bluetooth

It says my phone (OnePlus 6, stock 9.0) is incompatible. Is it possible to get just the .apk file? Thanks!

Wow, I just joined here and did not expect to see people already made a post about my Application. :D

So I read some comments which says application requires root nope JoyCon Droid does not require rooted device.
However, it requires an Android 9 phone with a HID api which some of the notable manufactures like OnePlus, LG and Motorola did not add to their own Android version (I am uber annoyed with this, like multimillion dollar companies does not follow the standard wtf).

Anyways ask me anything if you want to learn or have feature request also join to our discord if you need app support.:switch:

Too bad it isn't working to play on pc too I really wanted to use betterJoy4Cemu to use it as a xbox 360 controller cause my physical pro controller has input lag on many games on PC
Also there is a little warning, if you use the app for long times like 30 minutes or so you will get burn-in or image-persistence (on LCD screens) you can fix it by putting a white image for 1-2 hours but only on LCD, be careful with your AMOLED screen or you will end up with permanent gray buttons on your screen ;)

Is it possible for this to be ported to PC?

I want to use my computer instead of my phone. Bluestack and other emulators cant support bluetooth.
Any help with getting a way to control my switch from my PC would be very greatful!

Stupid question, since I don't post here often and this is similar to what I want to do.
Would it be possible to use the switch joy-cons themselves to emulate amiibos for other switches and the 3ds?

I'm only asking since I don't have an android device. I'm not sure if anyone looked into that as an option yet or even using IOS apple devices.

Edit: Sorry in advance, I just realize the last post was on the 1st and I didn't mean to bump such a old thread.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
