I bought these on Amazon Retro Power Controllers

[+HatNJ]

Has Anyone else used them I just got both sets and am quite pleased I'm not a hardcore user so they get light use and all show as Generic USB Game Controllers but configurations make emulators more enjoyable just curious of others opinions.

Anybody have these and a Retro Bit Super Retro Cade that can comment on compatibility?

That Gamecube one looks like an ideal candidate for Dolphin especially given the price of it (if it works as well as an original.)

I'd kinda be interested in the Saturn styled one. At present I'm using an XBox One controller with my emulators, and some of the Saturn games I think would be easier with a controller with six face buttons. As it is, I'm sometimes having to map buttons to triggers and... well... it's just not ideal.

Too bad you can't buy them separately! I'd just want the Saturn pad, myself.

if it's like other generic third-party Gamecube controllers on Amazon, the D-pad bottoms out (meaning you can press all four directions at once by pressing the center).

Just a shame the shoulder buttons are not analog on the gamecube one but still feels good with emulators Works nice with Project 64 emu. just more comfortable I know some games need the C-Buttons pushed at same time but I can live with it

I had that problem with the NES hyperkin. I noticed it in SMB3 - Mario woundn't slide under blocks.

The d pads "nub" aren't tall enough. I put a small washer on top of the d pad membrane and under the d pad point. Works great after that.

Ugh hell no, you just reminded me why I spent hours looking for specific pictures and videos before ever investing in that Supaboy S (or SFC too) handheld from Hyperkrud. That original v1 and v2 of it did this as they had a multi-layered set of PCBs for it and the fools put the d-pad on 1" stilts and you could mash all directions overly easy and every game seemed to malfunction in its own aggravating way. S/SFC though is nearly snes identical inside so it handles perfectly. I refuse to buy another controller made like that ever again as it shows you don't just give a crap in the least bit if it works at all skimping on something easy as basic molding to prevent that (which inside is nothing more than a 1/2 sphere sticking out in the center of the dpad as a stopper and for smooth rolling effect.)

I have the same problem with a Scout for SNES Classic. That's why I (eventually) invested in 8bitdo stuff. I think it's just something you never know until you buy it. Many controllers made by a handful of totally-unknown OEMs. Hyperkin's GN6 genesis controller is the best newly-made clone out there, but their SNES stuff leaves somethign to be desired. But you never really know who ACTUALLY made it.
