 genos | also Smash games making you play with the analog was good for breaking the sticks | 13:20:57 |
| genos | fighting games wears controllers alot, so making it play with the analog on top of that just worsened it | 13:22:34 |
| genos | you often want the analog in good condition for racing games where you had to do precise movements | 13:23:21 |

 PinoBatch#1742 | "first"? Atari 5200 == chopped liver | 13:43:45 |
 Vinci2000#4987 | Having an analogue stick on the 5200 controller was a mistake | 13:52:31 |
| Vinci2000#4987 | It wasn't ideal for something like Pac-Man or Dig Dug | 13:52:51 |
 syelan3 | wait what it was analog | 13:52:53 |
| syelan3 | But none of the games could use it | 13:53:13 |
| Vinci2000#4987 | Yea, I never owned a 5200 btw | 13:53:16 |
| Vinci2000#4987 | Thank god the 7800 ditched the analog stick completely | 13:54:49 |
| PinoBatch#1742 | Atari cheaped out at the last minute and made the production 5200 controller's auto-centering mechanism unusably weak. Originally they were going to use the mechanism from a radio control airplane's joystick but, well, $$$ | 13:55:22 |
| Vinci2000#4987 | Kinda unrelated, but it really sucks that the 7800 didn't have a dedicated sound chip, aside from cartridges like Commando or Ballblazer.
The TIA chip was inefficient for sound on native 7800 games | 13:57:06 |
| PinoBatch#1742 | I guess Atari was planning for expansion sound to be far more common, like how NES games had mappers or Super NES games had coprocessors | 13:58:11 |
| PinoBatch#1742 | and some Famicom games had FDS or Namco 163 wavetable | 13:59:28 |
| Vinci2000#4987 | Yea, I wonder what would the 7800 fate have been like if it had been launched in mid 1984, before Atari's home division was bought by Jack Tramiel | 14:00:48 |
 lambda | Do the 2DS XL and 3DS XL have differences in TWL_FIRM? | 18:10:38 |
| lambda | We have an old homebrew game (NDS_TGM) and even matching firmware versions, TWLM++ versions, nds-bootstrap versions, and settings for all of the above | 18:11:26 |
| lambda | It works perfectly fine on my 2DS XL and crashes on 3 different people's New 3DS XL the exact same way | 18:11:55 |
| lambda | And I am just at a complete loss how this could come about | 18:12:07 |
 Cavencruiser#9554 | Maybe twighlight menu ++ differences | 19:21:25 |
| Cavencruiser#9554 | Or sd card formatting | 19:22:04 |
| Cavencruiser#9554 | Or type | 19:22:04 |
| Cavencruiser#9554 | N64 a button intensifies | 22:03:46 |
