I'm actually disappointed with how the JPN OG white variant looks. It looks close to the real thing, but even the real thing looks kind of gross. I would of gone for the NA-black version, but 8bitdo dropped the ball on it's design by not throwing in any orange accents. It looks stupidly bland. what were they thinking? The original wired NA TGFX controller looks so awesome and absolutely 90's. Neither of these 3 8bitdo wireless controllers look anywhere near as good. I wish i could just use an actual NA TGFX controller and install a 2.4GHZ board inside of it, ditch the wire and get it work wirelessly.

A bit of an update. I've 4 now, and the width problem is easily fixed with short USB extendion cables. No need for 2 original controllers, just use the one that came with the console and use one USB dongle on an extension cord. These controllers also work out of the box on Mac OS 10.14 with say Open Emu. That's cool. Wireless controllers for your Mac.

Still, none of them look as great as the original wired US Turbo controller. Maybe if the 8bitdo version applied an Orange turbo logo next to the yellow 8bitdo font, and those 6 orange dots on the right. The original Screams 1990, the wireless version is just bland and safe.

I love these controllers personally, it is a shame you can't use the multitap with them and use all five ports, however they do work on PC and I was easily able to configure all five for play on the Magic Engine emulator

@lovemadeinjapan Жыл бұрын

What is cumbersome is that if you plug in 3 into the multitap with port 2 and 4 empty, you can't play bomberman 3-player, but you must select 5-player and have player 2 and 4 be bomb-food. The multi-tap kind of hardwires position one to player 1 and so forth. I'll try a USB extension cable for player 4, as player 2 can be the original controller. Other than that, these 8-bit do controllers are a good alternative to the impossible to find Hori originals. They feel pretty OK, and even though auto-fire is locked at speed 2, it still helps quite a bit in say Galaga 88.

@lazymutant 4 жыл бұрын

Actually that kinda makes sense why you can’t use the second port on the console when using the turbo tap.. remember the original tg16 only had 1 port on the console and there is no game that supports more than 5 players.. so unless your using the second port for hacks there is no need for that port to work since the turbo tap makes you able to play games with up to 5 players.

Low demand... Nah Im being facetious. I was really salty when I saw there was no tg/pce dongle. Considering the controllers have short wires, theyre expensive, and it's hard to find one in good shape, wireless seems like a no-brainer solution. On the plus side though, it's compatible with the brook adaptor for pc engine and genesis.

I don't want to hear that "oh, if they did that it would cost to much"... dude, people already pay $100 for used versions of these that are next to worn out... is just giving people what they want too much to ask?

You did not need to test the turbotap for me to know the other USB would be disabled. The two USB ports are low power 2.0 and shared. The turbotap will draw too much power from the port you are plugged into. This leaves no power for the remaining port. A powered USB hub would work and let you use the remaining USB.

@gregoriocruz4530 4 жыл бұрын

It makes sense that the second port doesn't work with the Turbo tap, because you are already using the Turbo tap. There is no reason to have both working.

The reason I tested this and pointed it out is because just plugging these controllers straight into the multi tap you can only use 3. So if that 2nd player port worked at least 4 would have been possible without having to do or buy anything extra.

Too bad Hori messed up with the sales channel. It is basically impossible to get an original controller at the list price. You're left to the scalpers asking as much as the console itself. Just run that Bomberman party on your computer, so you have access to any controller. Hori locked up the console to most third party controllers. Amazing these 8-bitdo's were able to sneak through the protection against fake controllers.

I know it does not go against the usability, but I have 6 8Bitdo controllers that I bought like 3 years ago and the packaging made me think, this guys really care about the product they sell, this new packaging not so much.
