    Comment by 'emcintosh' in 'Wii U GamePad upgrade - adventures with MOSFETs'

    I'm actually happy with the buttons at the height they are now. If I had them set into the surface, they would probably need to be further outwards, which could interfere with some of the support posts. I'm almost certainly going to wimp out of fitting the motors into the grips too, when I...

    At what age did you discover you were autistic?

    Suspected for a couple of decades, only got tested and diagnosed in my thirties, in the last year.

    Hacking Circle Pad patches for Super Mario 64 DS and other games (in TwilightMenu with TWPatcher and RTCom)

    No response on numbers on the bottom screen or the bars on the top. The first time I ran it, one of the numbers was 97 or 79, but on all subsequent executions, both numbers are 00. There is no save file, so I don't know how to return the NDS file to an unplayed state. Calibration doesn't change...

    Autism Memes

    Apologies if this felt like I'm being mean about people needing support by trivialising the terms used to describe them. That wasn't my intention. I guess, apart from the pun of levels as a gaming term, the joke is making fun of introducing a euphemism that's less descriptive than other terms...

    Testers for AKNES|GuliKit KK3 Pro(NS38) - Giveaway!

    I should point out that this is the Pro version, not the previously released Max, and that it is already being sold, so it will be a similar situation to the tactile buttons where there will be a few of the original variant in the wild from before the improvements you folks are testing. Max has...

    Obtaining controller input values

    You could try the (PC version of) HIDTest utility Maschell published for the HID-to-Vpad Network Client.

    Emulation Misc Is a totk memory editor possible? If so why has no one made one yet?

    IIRC MaxLastBreath is planning an actor spawner in the Patreon version of UltraCam.

    WUP installer problem

    Maybe a silly question, but have you looked at all the pages of the home menu? IIRC you can scroll with L & R.

    Hacking My SD Card is full with no games

    Old photo, but advice still works. View menu > Show View Options. Towards the bottom, there should be a box to tick to calculate sizes of folders. It's probably turned off by default because it's a lot more work for your computer to look inside all the folders-inside-folders and count everything.

    NYXI Warrior Incoming!

    Doyoky/Binbok do GC 'Retro' joycon that are less bulky than the Wizard, and haven't had the issues of ghost inputs. They started out with regular potentiometer sticks but have been replaced with Hall Effect ones. The A button doesn't sink into the shell, and the C-stick isn't raised up. OTOH...

    What's the best controller for the Switch in docked mode?

    Mobapad ChiTu and ?M9HD use the same rumble modules as the Nintendo controllers. Also the Mobapad M6HD best joycon. Gulikit KK3 Max (four back buttons : ) ) uses their own mysterious rumble motors that give a similar range of textures to official HD rumble. Has trigger stops that engage...

    Dolphin Emulator Super Mario Galaxy on Controller: Tilt controls keep going forward

    Oops, you're quite right. Maybe try widening the dead zone in the Tilt section? This will make tilting less sensitive, but will hopefully eliminate the drift when you're not tilting.

    Convert old Xenoblade 1 save to Switch?

    We have some of the tools needed to do this, but it's going to be easier to find an existing save with comparable progress than to hex-edit the save file yourself. https://gbatemp.net/threads/will-someone-make-a-xenoblade-chronicles-definitive-edition-save-editor.566898/ suggests nobody has...

    Wii U GamePad upgrade - adventures with MOSFETs

    I have back buttons - A&B on the left and X&Y on the right side. I have tapped into the test points that sudomod's evertith labelled as being for the d-pad directions. I did some probing with my multimeter and some aluminium foil to bridge the socket pins and didn't find any points with...
