@coolboymew I need to get a n64 usb adapter, it's just not the same even with 8bit do controllers...

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew It doesn't help those cheap chinese n64 controllers have actually digital joystics with only 4 directions instead of analog ones. I did try to research and buy a n64 controller to use on emulators few years back and there was nothing out there I could buy with a proper original n64 joystick. Feels bad man.

@susie @mangeurdenuage IIRC the Switch Online controller is actually the original joystick

Otherwise, Brawler 64 has a nice joystick, even if it's not the original

The issue is that the original N64 joystick design is actually quite complex

One of the reasons it got so loose is that the retards forgot to lubricate the US joysticks, so the white powder you saw was the thing literally falling apart

@coolboymew @mangeurdenuage I had the EU/PAL controllers and I loved the joystick. After N64 going to PS2 felt such a downgrade even though now that Dualshock 2 controller was also a freaking beast compared to what comes out nowadays. Just something about no soft padding and thin edges made it way easier to control for me.

Also I love GameCube controller C-Stick over any modern "two identical sticks" configuration. It just felt so easy and quick to flick with the tip of the thumb.

@susie @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage if someone wanted to design indie games in the style of goldeneye 64 are there any usb controllers that are like an n64 controller?

i tried at a some stores recently but they didn't seem to which surprised me, it would need to have the c buttons tho, not a c-stick.

@frogzone @susie @mangeurdenuage There's a bunch of clones, but avoid the chinese crap, they crap out easily

Otherwise, Brawler 64 (there's a sale going on right now, link in thread) is pretty good. But it's not original shaped

You can get the Switch Online N64 controller and connect it on your PC with a program, or with the 8bit do retro receiver (works in Linux too btw)
