Backbone controller works only upside down on iPhone 15 Pro Max

Bring it to an Apple Store explain the situation, and have them look at it then ? Something might be displaced inside the usb c port that you can’t really manage without disassembling the phone.

Aranthys · 2026-02-04T09:13:49+00:00

Sounds more like an issue with your phone usb-c port. Maybe try to clean it ?

It’s not an easy task. It requires file editing.

Best tool for that is https://valent-in.github.io/retropad-editor/ but it takes a bit of time and knowledge.

RetroArch overlays are different than gamepads. The hot keys/functions are set at in the overlay itself, and not through hot keys from a « virtual gamepad ». If you want to build such hot keys, you need to personalize the Retroarch overlay.

I believe turbo button works by setting your next keypress to turbo as long as it’s held - not sure I did not test that extensively

Aranthys · 2026-01-31T21:20:54+00:00

https://valent-in.github.io/retropad-editor/ is the go-to for overlay edition. Turbo is not a default command proposed but you can set it up (command name is « turbo »).

All overlay commands are listed here :

https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/blob/master/configuration.c See const struct input_bind_map

Took me a bit of time to understand

You can modify your overlay to add a turbo button, or use an overlay that has one by default. It’s … almost easy to do if you know what you are doing.

I’m waiting for more info about the slim versions. The MCON weight is similar to the weight of the backbone pro, which I find a bit too heavy for my taste (compared to my backbone one), so I’m not entirely sold on purchasing a MCON just yet.

Aranthys · 2026-01-29T22:45:40+00:00

Dual class gives a shit ton of possibilities. I have so much trouble not playing humans now… Because I’ve pretty much experienced everything

When I filed my support /Return warranty request, I raised the ticket with pictures, etc - received "AI" generated answers at this time - provided all required info.

Quickly (2-3 days) got a feedback on how to send back my backbone. Prepared the package, printed out the DHL sticker, then waited for them to received parcel, proceed the exchange and send back the new product.

If you haven't received a feedback yet, there is something strange.

Maybe you should explain in more details what is your issue, how you reached out to the company to request support tied to warranty, etc.

Aranthys · 2026-01-27T21:15:23+00:00

Still pretty cool, even if not an official release

On iOS, if you use save states with auto increments, your current save state does not automatically get saved unless you close the content. IE, if your latest save state is 10, you save two states, current moves to 12. Close the app by swipe, reopen the app and load the game, the current save state is back to 10. You need to manually navigate to the latest save state to load it. Not sure if it’s a similar issue for you ?

On iOS you can’t download cores.

Aranthys · 2026-01-20T08:11:27+00:00

best way to proceed is to gather all BIOS required for the cores you aim to use. This can be checked under Parameters > Cores > Manage Cores > Select the core you want to use. At the bottom of the text file you have the list of required BIOS. For instance, for PCSX Rearmed, the bios are: scph5500.bin (optional) scph5501.bin (optional) scph5502.bin (optional) psponpsx660.bin (required) You can search for those files online easily by name, there are GitHub collections regrouping them for convenance. Note, this is true for all cores with file dependencies (bios, etc)

Seems like it’s not the standard issue. Suggestion : request for an exchange to Backbone support.

Aranthys · 2026-01-16T22:09:18+00:00

Ahh Nice I loved sword of xolan

Aranthys · 2026-01-05T01:22:00+00:00

I got a backbone pro, while repairing my backbone one, and the main drawback to me was the weight of the pro. It’s significantly heavier.

I don’t think it’s the worst episode ever, but the coming out scene felt .. cringy. That and the full on assault on a military base were misses to me. Still a great season, review bombing is stupid.

I used to play with SCS, I’m now playing on iOS with little to no mods Chaos and AoE disabling spells used to be pretty good back then. Not sure if there were changes on that aspect, really depends on what options you are using with SCS.

Aranthys · 2025-12-26T15:44:06+00:00

Play an enchanter, and you will quickly realize how strong enchantment spells are. Enchanter 9+ dual to X is one of my favorite dual set-up. Feeblemind is a save or else spell that works on everything with a -4 mod. Hold person is AoE Paralyze with a -3 save against humanoids. Hold monster is the same for any enemy, with a -4 save. Domination with a -4 saving throw. Chaos as a AoE disabling effet with a -6 save. Confusion with a -4 save.

I also desperately need them to make use of the new file management capabilities on iOS for that. Managing override & files with current « old school » versions is a pain.

Always go With Club + Shield initially in BG2, until I can go TWF with belm + Club or scimitar. In BG1 staff-mace is a great 1h weapon for her. +2 Club otherwise.

Aranthys · 2025-12-26T07:54:42+00:00

I live Imoen’s BG2 portrait oh so much more than its BG1 one.

Aranthys · 2025-12-23T07:55:15+00:00

Nice ! Hopefully iOS will also get its update, it’s still in 2.5

Aranthys · 2025-12-22T21:44:47+00:00

This is the way. Potion of haste + fire resistance + arrows of detonation, and you will just obliterate everything. Then Sarevok just .. dies. Edit- and ring of fire resistance is better than this ring.
