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.

[–] Mango 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] yamanii 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] deafboy 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?

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

[–] caseofthematts 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!

[–] [email protected] 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.
