For months i have been looking a way to make this possible, after alot of research i started to think it would never happen and that i would have to buy a Classic Controller to play emulators, but then, i discovered Nintendont, which is a Gamecube interpreter ( I think ) that runs GC games on vWii and familly edition Wii's with no backwards compatibilty. And since these Wii's can't use GC controllers, they have made the use of USB controllers possible, i have no idea how, but they did it and it's amazing. So i was wondering, can USB controllers be used in other homebrew? ( Especially emulators, since alot of people don't have Classic Controllers and i can't find them where i live, even tough it's a big city ). So if anyone has any knowledge on the subject, please let me know. I really wan't homebrew developers to use things like this.

Sorry for bad english, english isn't my main language.

  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    I use SD Ex as it is, the ones with 2 rows of contacts FOR those 1Gb transfer speeds
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    and that's the bare minimum for 4k work
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Well the Switch 2 is in HD not 4K
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    but for potato-sumer playing Mario.....in 1080......yea...
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    so either Nintendo is going plumb loco or they want money
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    like looking more and more at it - ima skip S2 in favor of 12900K+mobo for it, that I do actually need, and that will haul MUCH harder ass in the long run than some Nintender console

    literally same price
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I feel like Nintendo is slowly falling into the same place Kirby fell into on the first episode of the anime.
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Except Kirby won't save them. And they can't fly.
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:

    because my Everdrive mini has been locked and loaded to the brim and just needs a bigger screen to play than my Micro
