    Just stumbled across your video after doing the firmware "update" to mine today and finding that the A and B buttons were mismapped and having a Google search, and I didn't get as far as realising it was more than just those two buttons. I updated my BlueRetro from 24.04 to 24.10 as well and wasn't sure which update broke it, but glad to have an answer from your video that it was the RetroFighters "update". I'd been meaning to contact them for a while for a few things that I thought should go into a firmware update, including the rumble issue. In NES and GB games (EverDrive64 X7), there are phantom inputs from these controllers as well. At least directionally that makes them unplayable with these controllers (works with every other one), but don't know if there are other phantom inputs as well as directions. Another oversight by RetroFighters for UltraHDMI, N64Digital and RetroGEM users is that the controller's LED on/off combo is included in these HDMI mods' in-game-reset (IGR) combo. Every time you do an IGR, you toggle the controller's LEDs on/off which is such a nuisance. I don't know if they'll ever properly fix the rumble issue, this mapping issue or either of the other issues I've just raised but I also love the shape and feel of these controllers so I hope they can get it sorted.

    I bought the "KO" SD2SNES (aka FX Pak Pro) cart. Cost me about $90usd/$130cdn. It's pretty darn good, also note that SD2SNES is open source so what you buy on AliExpress is the same as Krikzz version, only difference I can see is the shell quality (I used to own the original Krikzz version). I even updated the OS using the latest version found on the official Krikzz site and it works great. Plays all the special chip game including msu-1 enhanced audio games without issue. Instant game load. Resets to menu with the controller. Saving works great and it also has a save state feature. If you can find the proper bios files then you can even have it act as an actual super gameboy and play GB games on it. Was even able to change the menu theme to something much nicer with absolute ease. Some of these features may need the newest OS to function like the menu theme change. Half the price of the Krikzz version with all the features and compatibility. Even the shipping was fast at about 8-9 days from ordering. The only game I have not been able to start up is Smurfs but that seems (maybe) to be an issue with the game regardless of the flash cart used. I'll also note that "in game hooks" being turned on can make some games not run well or at all but that's easy to turn on or off through the menu. Very recommended.

    37:53 I wished the newer Zelda games have the Majora's Mask death system instead, where the player warps back to the area's entrance upon dying. If that happened, then "Game Over" would be replaced by "Try Again", though latter text didn't appear in Majora's Mask originally.

    Thank you for the comparison!!! I guess nothing beats the good old CRT, but I don't want to rely on such outdated tech anymore. It has been more and more difficult to find a good CRT nowadays. I never wanted to mod my N64, and it's good to know that just a Retrotink 4K and a S-Video cable will be enough. I can barely see differences hahaha. A comparison between the CRT with Retrotink 4K using scan lines would be interesting to see in the future!

      I've finally got mine but have noticed something strange when using the analogue triggers on an original Game Cube. When using the supplied 2.4GHz dongle and playing Metroid Prime the digital press of the left analogue trigger does not work. This is a significant pain as it means you can't scan any items (a major part of the game). The analogue press works as you can navigate the menus using Left and Right triggers. I connected the controller via Blue Tooth using a Game Cube BlueRetro adapter and everything worked as expected including the digital and analogue press for the left trigger. Can you confirm if you get the same behaviour?

  • @Scoffman0
    @Scoffman0 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Could you give a little bit of explanation about the hall effect?

    • @FairyKid64
      @FairyKid64 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, I'll try to explain it the best I can. So, most traditional controllers use potentiometers for the control sticks to move your character around. So, if you push the control stick a little bit forward, just a bit of electricity is released by the potentiometer, and your character only walks. If you push the control stick farther, more electricity is released by the potentiometer and your character runs. The problem is that those potentiometers have moving parts inside that rub against each other and eventually break down. When this happens, a lot of times it will start registering that you're pushing the control stick even though you're not. This is called stick drift. Hall effect sticks try to solve this problem by using magnets to tell the position of the stick instead of metal parts rubbing against each other. With magnets, nothing has to touch. I don't know how it works exactly, but it's something along these lines. Long story short, hall effect sticks with magnets should last much longer than potentiometers.

    • @Scoffman0
      @Scoffman0 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @FairyKid64 okay that makes sense. That reminds me of the old electric race track controller throttles where are the further you push the button for the acceleration it would go faster. But it was just rubbing two things together.

    Dude soo many things in this vid I could ask about lol… w the N64 8bitdo mod, can it be used w an original control stick, or do you have to use the new inferior one? I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone use the mod w/out the stick… my vision is to 8bitdo mod but w a rebuilt og stick for the best of both.. you seem like someone that understands these details lol. Thanks.

      Thanks! Yeah, the 8BitDo N64 mod kit is compatible with original N64 control sticks - so a rebuilt one should work great. Here's an older video I made testing original N64 sticks in the 8BitDo mod if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/0Bj6LeyrBMc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4GUgLe2WtU4ei57A

    Rumble takeaway is interesting… GameCube just had one motor right in the middle of the controller, this has two in the handles.. subtle rumble directly in the center makes the controller feel incredibly balanced when Gamecubin, maybe more to this than we thought.

      Yeah, that would make a lot of sense why the rumble felt so much more powerful on GCN mode too.

They actually made serious moves w this one, that stick tension blows my mind!.. just what even were the previous BattlerGC controllers compared to this!? ..I never even gave em a thought… This, was an immediate hell yes!

    S-video can really shine on certain CRTs, it's funny, I prefer S-Video from my N64 on my small 10" CRT shadowmask vs my 21" trinitron (slightly edges out RGB on the same 21" too). For me RGB has none of the spill over that red on edges in S-Video shows, it's immaculate. Btw PAL S-Video is a nice step-up from NTSC S-Video if you have a CRT that supports it, like really closes the gap in on RGB but it's a pain to get setup as you either have to mod an existing cable with some additional caps+resistors or buy an expensive custom made cable.

    The SNES and N64 boxes and manuals never mentioned one peep about those systems taking S-Video. I'm impressed Nintendo thought to include S-Video for the SNES back in 1991, that was still a very new kind of hookup back then and most TVs didn't have it at the time, right?

    • @FairyKid64
      @FairyKid64 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, you're right. You actually had to pay a premium to get a TV model with that connection. That's why a lot of TVs from back then have a spot on the back for S-Video, but it's filled in with plastic because it was a cheaper model that didn't include it. But a lot of times those cheaper models can easily be modded to restore S-Video support like their more expensive counterparts. But yeah, back then I personally had seen S-Video ports, but I really didn't even know what they were. I just used the cables that came with the system - RF or composite. It's only now that I know how amazing S-Video can be!

      To tell you the truth, I hardly use it and just use the single adapters since this one at the time had connection problems with multiple Switch controllers.

    One thing I noticed after filming was that RGB had a slight green tint in Sheik's hair, whereas S-Video was more orange. This could be due to the fact that S-Video still kind of smooths the colors together, whereas RGB is more defined. Not sure though - thoughts? But even so, both look great. 💪
