Retrobit DC controller update

[Ragfish]

Has anyone used any of retro bit's new controllers? They look really good.

I haven't yet, I was waiting on the wireless Saturn and DC pads. But if you are worried about build quality, worry no more!



This guy pretty much tries to destroy them yet they hold up really well!

I bought the genesis and Saturn controllers. For the most part they are 1:1. Saturn left right bumpers are a little different click style but still works. Genesis 6 button is perfect imo

Cool. I'm excited for all the stuff they're making. Would like to try the Tribute 64 and their Genesis/Saturn pads.

Also, a Dreamcast controller with a Saturn D Pad sounds like a dream come true. I bought my Dreamcast for fighting games, and while the Dreamcast D Pad is okay, it should have been way better considering it's from the same people who made the amazing Genesis and Saturn D Pads.

Yeah, now all those arcade games and classic emulators will feel more legit with this one.

Have you guys ever used the ascii FT pad? I can't imagine it getting any better than that for arcade games and classic emulators, no?

[Anthony817]

Same layout, but better imho, as now you don't have to switch out controllers depending on games and play style. Plus. the potential for the wireless version having dual analogs means that we could hex edit the 1srt_read.bin executable to use these extra inputs and stick for playing FPS games much better. They responded to me when I asked about info on it, but this was their response.



Check out their official tweet about it themselves, and read the replies from others as this is getting a lot of positive exposure now and picking up steam.

If 8 bit do has a even 1 ounce of brain, they should simply bring out a Saturn dongle for their m30 controller, it's basically a Saturn pad anyway (and a very good one too)...I mean how hard can it be? They'll sell like hot cakes

[Anthony817]

Well, the great thing about these wireless controllers, is that they said all 3 Sega controllers, will be compatible on all 3 Sega systems they are made for. So for instance, say I want to use this beauty on the Dreamcast with the DC dongle, it will absolutely sync up to it.



That one still isn't out though, and it will be my go to controller for PS3 since it will also be compatible with it. But for sure the Saturn and future DC controller is going to rock. Also, the Start and Select buttons will be swapped in the final version.

Also, odds are that it could be possible too flash the firmware on the dongles to hack in support for Xbox One and PS4 controllers. THAT would be pretty cool.

And sorry if it seems I am posting a lot about this, I had a mega thread about it over at Assembler been eating up every ounce of info since they announced the partnership in January 2018.
