the DMCA and it's anti-circumvention clause has been a blight on consumers, can't even fix trains without getting sued.

Anyone recommend a Bluetooth controller for Android? I just tried emulating a GB game for the first time, and remembered that I hate soft keys.

I use an 8bitdo pro 2. Over kill, probably but it works with lots of devices. Phone, switch, computer.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

That looks like a good choice, thank you. I'll see if I can sneak it past the wife.

But there's no support for the phone, how will you use it? Satelite controllers are the best for this.

It's not Bluetooth, but the Razer Kishi pro v2 is just absolutely wonderful! It even gives you a 3.5mm headphone port with a very capable amp!

Huh, that's neat!

I second this. If you already have one (or even a ps5 controller) then they are a perfect choice. I imagine a switch pro controller would work too, and you get the bonus of having a nice controller for your switch.

If you don't have one then 8bitdo is a safe choice

I've got an xbox360 and a PS4 - nothing newer. I'll have to buy SOMETHING, sadly. I do appreciate the suggestion ,though.

PS4 controllers use Bluetooth and can be paired with a phone.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

I assumed they were a proprietary 2.4ghz like the Xbox 360! Hot dog. Thank you.

[–] deafboy@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Wasn't support for them dropped basically everywhere recently due to an unfixable security bug in it's bluetooth implementation?

[–] caseofthematts@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I've not tried it, but I'm sure if you can connect a PS5 controller, you can use your PS4 controller. Look it up and give it a shot!

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

It seems that I can! Most excellent. Thank you.

I suppose this just means that piracy of the Pizza Emulators themselves is going to pick up, unless there are better GB/GBA emulators for android out currently.
