stdjxf15 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Greetings all I cracked open missle command 3d and was planning on using my pro controller to play the game. However, when using the directional pad to aim, it instead controls the camera views for classic gameplay, and switches turrets on virtual play. Im wondering if this is a glitch on my end or if the game simply is not entirely compatible with the pro controller. Thanks for the response.

swapd0 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 From the jaguar point of view there are no difference, it's just a normal controller with some extra buttons that are mapped to the keypad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummy Bear Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Which means your pro controller is on the fritz... Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The Missile Command 3D box actually says "pro controller compatible" on the back and in any case, swapd0 is correct. I assume the controller has issues on other games as well? If so, I'd replace the 74HC04 and 74HC14 chips on the PCB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stdjxf15 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Thanks for the reply. The pro is my primary controller for all games and hasnt given problems on other games, I just used it to play against my son on Ultra Vortek and Kasumi Ninja. My technical prowess is limited unfortunately and I would not even know where to begin in replacing the acronyms that were listed. In the mean time Ill just be using the regular controller for that game, wasnt sure if there was a setting in the game I was overlooking. Thanks though, if it is the pro, its given me a good run for the over 10 years Ive used it. Plus the button layout isnt even listed on the manual so I cant imagine what all the buttons would even be used for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The manual does list what the pro controller buttons do, it's on here if you don't have a physical copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) @ stdjxf15 are you using an extention-cable with The Pro Controller? Edited July 6, 2018 by Isgoed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stdjxf15 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 I am actually, I will try it without the cord when I get back from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stdjxf15 Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Sorry for the delay fellas, it works as normal without the extension cord. My pro is still good to go?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummy Bear Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Ahh the old VGA extension issue Ran into that one myself. Even cables that claimed to be fully wired on all pins. I ended up getting semi-official ones from Best Electronic. They work just fine and dandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHATEIT Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I got a Pro Controller a week ago and some of the buttons weren't working for me (right shoulder and the Z button) but all the rest were working fine. I noticed the plug needed to be pushed in a lot more than my regular controller it seemed, this one was tough to get into the console port too. Once I did that it was all good thank god!

Gummy Bear Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Yeah my pro controller has fatter pins than my other, regular pads as well. Takes more heave-ho to get that sucker plugged in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what i ended up finding out. I scored it on the cheap and then thought WTF is it broken??? I noticed it was harder to push in initially and just left it as such, then when the buttons didnt work and I used the Mathias Domin controller tester app on the skunkboard it wasn;t working then I jammed the damn thing in there and it started working. I was flipping out that I got a broken Pro Controller. Alas it was all good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was flipping out that I got a broken Pro Controller. Alas it was all good! On that note, it seems to me that the regular controllers have a looser fitting after the Pro controller has been in there. I was trying to test the normal one at one point and it seemed not to work, I took everything apart on it to see what the issue was, plugged it in and it worked fine for a while, then tried it again a while later and it was doing the same thing (some of the buttons weren't working) unplugged it and plugged it back in and it was fine. But it does pop out a bit easier than it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does pop out a bit easier than it should. That totally explains it. I thought it was hard to shove the Pro Controller into the port and just went with it but when stuff didn;t work I had to really jam it in there. I haven't unplugged it since then but that's good to know it affects the regular ones again so if I have the same issue as you I'll just wiggle the regular controller in the port. That really is odd that it is like that. Are they made by different companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummy Bear Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Just another reason to use a decent extension cable. Avoid stretching and busting your controller ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
