Saturn Controller Issues #27

Open Vorenu5 opened 10 months ago

Vorenu5 commented 10 months ago

I've tested v1.05 Combo 12 Gen+Sat mode with 4 Saturn controllers with varying results:

  1. MK-80100: Working as expected
  2. MK-80116: Not detected by Reflex (Working on real Saturn console)
  3. Retro-bit Wired: Buttons presses are detected, with phantom button presses on B3 & B6 which coincide with the entire button display on the Reflex flashing on and off (Working on real Saturn console)
  4. Retro-bit Wireless: Similar to wired version except with longer phantom button presses on B3 & B6 with entire button display on the Reflex flashing at a higher rate (Working on real Saturn console)

I'm open to more testing if needed.

Update: After a bit of wiggling and seemingly getting the controller connector sitting at just the right angle, my MK-80116 is detected and working. Cleaning the controller connector contact points has not had an effect on the reliability of detection. I had a similar connector connection issue with some 3-button Genesis controllers as well but I won't bother creating a separate issue for something not seemingly software related.

Yeah, Saturn connectors seem really sensitive. I've hand tested each Saturn adapter. I suspect there's variation from controller to controller that's hard to account for :(

Vorenu5 commented 10 months ago

I agree with the sensitivity of the connectors. Is there a possibility the behavior I'm experiencing with the Retro-bit controllers is a firmware issue?

I can confirm the Retro-bit controllers issue. I am experiencing the same phantom button presses with the Retro-bit Wired controller.

Sadly, Retro-Bit does weird things with the controller protocols. The Retro-bit controllers don't work with Daemonbyte either without inserting a massive delay.
