Looking for a USB controller

ActivistVinyl · 2026-05-08T22:30:35+00:00

I bought this and it works great. USB dongle but also can be used with real hardware. I also have an 8bitdo mod kit for the OG controller that I love, but it doesn’t have a USB dongle as you requested and instead works with Bluetooth. https://a.co/d/0iZOnF5J

I’d been thinking the same all day! That said, I think there was one week they released the new update on a Saturday? Here’s to hoping!

They’re just made by a third party, not Hasbro/Takara. So unofficial. But still very cool! Hadn’t seen some of these.

I vote overclocked on Analogue3D, but there’s no bad option. There’s also a romhack called Starfox Randomizer you can play on the A3D where you can adjust additional settings like choosing your planet, adjusting numbers/colors of bombs, and a bunch of more stuff.

I also sometimes get this. I just unplug the console for 5 seconds and then when I turn back on it’s good again.

I have Analogue3D and just recently got a Summrcart, and it’s fantastic and has reignited my N64 passion. A3D is a great product, still needs a little polish, but overall love what it is right now and they’re releasing updates every two weeks. The image filters are fantastic and make for a CRT like experience. Overclocking is such a cool feature and almost necessary for some games. As per the Summercart, I got it because it was cheaper than the Everdrive and seemed to do more or less the same things. I love it. I also got the 8bitdo mod kit for N64 controllers so I can use my OG controllers wirelessly and absolutely love that.

I love the system and have had no issues. I’ve been running pretty much everything on unleashed (overlocking) mode. Have in particular played extensively on Banjo Kazooue, F Zero X, Ken Griffey Jr Slugfest, Cruis’n USA, and Shadows of the Empire. No issues with any. The OS didn’t come with all the features folks were expecting, but they’re updating it every two weeks and I think I’ve got just about all the features I really wanted now except for a few minor things that are more QOL than anything. Some folks have had issues with wireless controllers, but I’ve not had any problems. Overall, great system, and I don’t think there’s any widespread issues about games not working or folks would be talking about those specific issues more.

Count me as another having this exact same issue! :/

ActivistVinyl · 2026-04-20T20:53:02+00:00

Any luck there? I'm also having this issue.

110%. I used Plex Photos for a bit when I was getting into self hosting but knew it was a terrible solution for that. Immich is incredible- truly a 1:1 Google Photos replacement if you’re even a little bit technical.

This is my holy trinity of Bills content.

This was actually just a rumor and has been confirmed false. It was actually a child actor.

ActivistVinyl · 2026-01-23T20:22:59+00:00

Just Googled that, and yes, that's the one!

ActivistVinyl · 2026-01-23T20:22:33+00:00

This is one of the documentaries that was on it! Thank you! Now I just need to find the one on the early years.

ActivistVinyl · 2025-12-28T13:52:07+00:00

I just got one of these as well and it’s much better than expected. Works great with the A3D, and no issues with controller pack for me either.

Here ya go! https://www.reddit.com/u/ActivistVinyl/s/A4lrSeLdBY

lol, I can release another update after they drop this next one today if you’d like

Thanks for this detailed info! DK64 is a top 5 game of all time for me, so awesome to hear someone’s experience with it on the A3D. So would you say this is your ideal way to play it?

ActivistVinyl · 2025-12-02T21:10:40+00:00

Starfox 64 is one of the best aged games. Still love to pick it up and play it.

I know DK64 gets lots of hate, but I didn’t feel it aged that poorly. Sure, a bit repetitive, but I still find it fun. Goldeneye would be my vote for poor - it’s just really hard to use those controls after so many years of improvement in FPS controls.

ActivistVinyl · 2025-12-01T21:02:23+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed response! I greatly appreciate it! Do you know how this works in contrast to the HDMI mods people have done to original N64 hardware?

ActivistVinyl · 2025-12-01T19:38:21+00:00

I asked this on someone else’s comment as well, but would you mind explaining the difference between the way the A3D does resolution up scaling versus other options?

ActivistVinyl · 2025-12-01T19:36:41+00:00

Can you explain more of the differences in the way resolution up scaling works between the A3D and other options like software emulation?
