This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

There are some pretty decent portable controllers out there though (I.e. Turtle Beach Atom). Plus phone brackets for Series S/X controllers and DS4/DS5.

So there are good controller options, touchscreen controls for games designed for physical controls suck.

But carrying around physical controllers isn't very convenient.

Idk if there are drivers for usb controllers on androids but pixels and the like come with USB 2 adapters so the potential is there.

Yeah my OnePlus 12 came with a USB-C "OTG" adapter as well.

I actually upgraded to it before going on vacation (BOS-->HOU) in April and got the aforementioned Turtle Beach controller with it.

Very much enjoyed playing Chrono Trigger on the flight, if only because I hadn't figured out how to get Yuzu working on my phone by then.

Thanks, JetBlue, for allowing me to download an emulator and a few roms without paying for wifi.

I've plugged an Xbox controller into a phone before and that worked. I've not had an iPhone since they moved over to the USBC so I don't know about that.
