[ENHANCEMENT] Support for Switch Nintendo NES controllers #691

Open sprudel79 opened 3 years ago

sprudel79 commented 3 years ago

Hi everyone,

I would like to request the support for the official Nintendo NES controllers for the Switch (see here https://mynintendostore.nintendo.de/nintendo-entertainment-system-controllers.html) similar to the Nintendo SNES controllers for the Switch.

I am able to pair my NES controllers in the similar way as the SNES ones, they are also detected by BetterJoy as JoyCons but I am running in the "Duplicate timestamp enqueued" issue then. I have followed already the instructions at https://github.com/Davidobot/BetterJoy/wiki/HIDGuardian-and-Steam-(Big-Picture) but without any success so they are not yet usable.

Since the NES controllers are not mentioned on the project landing page I think they haven't just been officially supported.

Thanks and best regards, Sprudel

Hi!

The SNES support was done by @KurtYilmaz , the NES controllers aren't officially supported. Unfortunately, unless I have the controllers myself, I can't really provide any guarantees for making them work and/or adding support.

Thanks @Davidobot for your answer. Ok, so then it is as I had assumed in my first post. I would like to offer a donation in that case so you could buy them since they are still available (in contrast to the SNES ones). Please let me know what you think (you can also ping me directly). Thanks!

Thank you for your offer - I'm afraid I would have to decline it at the moment. I would really love to spend more time on this project, but it's not a monetary matter at this point, but a time and priority one.

I'm a bit flooded with university work and other personal projects at the moment, so I am really struggling to dedicate any useful time to BetterJoy. Thank you for the offer - I really appreciate it :)

If I manage to get back into this project, I'll do my best to get NES controller support!

Thanks for your honest answer which I am fine with of course. So once you find some time you can reach out to me so I can support (in whatever way). Thanks again and all the best with your university work.

Hi @Davidobot , fast forward 2 years later, and I'd love to inquire if your time has loosened any to maybe consider adding NES support to your wonderful program?
