@@m43user yes bluefox9er tried with a wired Xbox 360 pad and confirmed that worked. The one I was trying was the wireless one from the x box one seriesX which didn’t, looks like it was merely charging the pad up 😳
Hi. With the pads you demonstrated as working, is it just the D-Pad which registers or do the thumbsticks work too? I'm guessing not as they are analogue but thought I'd ask! 😊 I'm trying to weigh up if I should splash out on a new joystick similar to those I used to play with on my original Speccy or if a D-Pad will suffice.
@@Interceptorslair Hi, cheers for watching, the analogue thumbsticks did work but just in the same way the d pad does (so no analogue pressure to speed feel as intended) I did find myself using them over the d pad anyway on wheelie. Not sure if they’d work on ever game, it’s a bit of hit and miss with some games working and some others need calibrating a bit. Remember re-configuring all my games to QAOPM before I’d play them back in the day!
@@Interceptorslair the most consistent pad is the third party wired usb Red Giotek vx4 controller in the vid, just seems to work flawlessly every time. Although I am in the lookout for a retro 80s joystick or quick shot pad
@MrNot2Techy That's great. Thanks for your reply. I think the problem you had with the Xbox 360 controller is that they only work wirelessly even when plugged in with a cable. I found this out recently when I tried to use one on my laptop to play a game. I switched to a wired 360 controller and that worked fine. I'm going to give the wired controller a whirl with my Spectrum when I open it at Christmas. I'm relieved to hear the sticks work. I think I'd favour using them for most games over the D-Pad. Cheers!
@MrNot2Techy Thanks. I am on The latest version 1.0.2, and have a SeriesX X-Box wireless controller (with USB cable), that I can't get to work, so I am looking at buying something else. The Retro controllers are hard to find.
@@WoolyChewbakker I’m going to have a good play around with a few controllers, really want an old quick shot joystick via an adaptor, that’s the plan. Recently sold a powerplay cruiser multicoloured which I should have kept for this!

I can confirm an xbox 360 wired controller works just fine
@@bluefox9er that’s useful, thank you for commenting, I only had a wireless one unfortunately so couldn’t confirm 👍👍
Which brand, and when you say X series, are you referring to X-box 360?

Got the same red controller.

@ I’m quite lucky as mine was a birthday pressie end of Nov… Nicely timed haha
@@Interceptorslairmy wired Xbox 360 controller worked perfectly
Could you let me know the firmware that was running on your The Spectrum for the tests?
@@WoolyChewbakker Hi, still on the original firmware. Will get the exact build number today for you.

@ will record my findings I’m sure! 👍
