What issue? As long as the Switch is on, the controller will connect. You only need to press the sync button to pair it the first time.
rly??
okay so when you first sync it for the first time.

after that when your switch is either in sleep or powered off and then lets say you turn it back on using your (joycons home button) will you then be able to connect your DS4 directly without needing to go press any button on the mayflash dongle?

i thought i read that it has a bug the one where you will have to redo the pressing button every time the switch is sleep/off.

Right. I've never heard of that bug or had it happen to me. You can't turn the Switch on with a PS4 controller, but once it's awake, it'll connect. No need to get up.

that's so neat, how is the connectivity? I've read from some amazon reviews having issues with connection at times and that they needed to re-insert the dongle in order to get to work.

if connectivity is good (and also is there any noticeable input lag?) if those are fine, I'll order one away soon.

I've never had any issues with mine, but I don't see why those people would lie. I can't feel any lag. It feels the same as my pro controller.

got this thing recently and it's so sweet, no lag and connects quick no issues.

but id like to know whether there's a way to change A button to X (for my DS4) controller.

i managed to change this for my wiiu usage, this thing works fine with wiiu using that hid app!!
i modified the few ini files (Nintendont/mayflashmagicns) and on wii u i have A set to X , i was wondering if there's a way to do this on the switch as well somehow?

if not, then the only way wed be able to do this is through homebrew, so gotta wait it out then.

Try to play Mario Odyssey and get back to us. See how well the rumble mechanics works...lol (maybe they patched it for all I know...)

You can't, only on the Xbox one controllers.

Rumble works like any 3rd party controller would.

It sure as fuck didn't the last time I used my Dual Shock 4 with Odyssey but that was quite a while ago. Rumble was TOO STRONG and triggered motion controls.

i dont use rumble, i dislike vibration.
so i usually always have it off, so that's not an issue.

other than that I'm very impressed with this thing.

you can change the vibration amount with the purple led mode.
that's what it says in the logs.

The bug was if you disabled rumble you disabled motion controls and wouldn't be able to use those functions which are SOMETIMES crucial for gameplay. If you enabled motion controls, you'd also get rumble which made the controller go crazy. It was all fucked up but maybe it was fixed. I couldn't get the purple LED mode working at all. I will try again.

The disabled rumble is now partially fixed in Splatoon 2 and possibly other games.
Strong rumble signals won't be sent to the controller, weak signals still get through.
So submerging into ink or swimming in it still makes the controller rumble like crazy as it quickly piles up.

The controller adapter from 8bitdo doesn't filter out signals at all and also piles up the rumble signals to a way too strong rumble.

Did you update your magic-ns before you started using it?
The manual said you had to do that.

Also, If you couldn't get into purple mode, How did you even get rumble.
The only other mode that works on the switch is RED mode, and that one doesn't support Rumble/Motion controls.

You seem butthurt but things don't even add up pal.

"I'm trying the pro mode with my dualshock 4 in Odyssey and it seems like if I turn motion controls off it's still active if I turn rumble on. And the rumble is so strong it constantly activates motion controls...which also seems supersensitive to begin with."

That's my post from a few months back on page 5 or something and maybe some follow ups later if you can be bothered to read it. I just remember I always used red mode, tried purple once but it didn't work.

Once again, Doesn't explain how you have motion/rumble in a non supported mode.

8Bitdo connector has a way to change the ruble intensity by the by, and is cheaper. You might want to look into that, However the deadzone of the stick is very absent on this. For better or worse.

Simple question:
I have the Magic-NS. I've updated to the latest firmware. How do I sync my Wiimote to it for use on a PC?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
