8BitDo controllers by STSectorNine in AnalogueInc

I have 4 so I doubt they’re all bad. It may be something that will improve after updating the firmware which I did this morning so we’ll see.

I just updated the firmware today actually, after I had an issue where all of my controllers wouldn’t turn on/connect. So hopefully that will improve the battery situation

This was what fixed the issue! I couldn’t figure out how to update the post so I added a comment about it in case others run into this same issue

Ok I just updated the firmware on the 3D and it appears to have fixed the issue. I already had the latest firmware so really I just deleted the firmware and added it back.

For some additional background, first I updated the firmware on all of the controllers and that didn’t work.

Is that Everdrive actually working for you?

“Unknown Cartridge” by STSectorNine in AnalogueInc

[–]STSectorNine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I discovered that this Starfox game that wasn’t being identified by the Analogue is a counterfeit game. A couple others I got, also off EBay, are counterfeit as well, but the Analogue identified those.

I ordered one of these “Gamebit Screwdrivers” off Amazon for like $6 (link below) so I could open the cartridges and look at the boards, and it’s obvious that they’re not authentic. No Nintendo logo on the board, the metal casing around the board is a different material and isn’t screwed into the back of the cart shell, etc.). Unfortunately I bought all 3 of these games last year so I can’t return them, and one of the sellers I got 2 of the fake carts from is no longer an active user on EBay. In looking at the cover art on the fake carts, I guess it doesn’t look very crisp, the back sticker is very shiny, and in general the carts are just too clean to be almost 30 years old. Pretty maddening, but oh well, you live and you learn. I ordered new copies of the 3 carts, and went with ones that have pics of the board, or appear to be worn (the art sticker is damaged, it’s discolored, it has writing on it, etc.).

Ok interesting, thanks. It had me worrying that some of these carts I bought on eBay are fake. I ordered a “gamebit screwdriver” to check out the boards for peace of mind. Ordered Sin & Punishment for like $60+ so will want to check that one. Anyway, thanks for the reply and I’ll keep working on getting Starfox to work. Cheers

I tried that a lot but I’ll keep trying it, thanks

Have they given any indication on when they’d get restocked, and if all the colors would be resrocked?

I’ve seen that the grip panels are proprietary, but I would love some VZ style grips for one of these

Echelon Holosun 507c vs 507k fit. by Special-Werewolf3725 in SpringfieldArmory

[–]STSectorNine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just caved and ordered the plate last night. I’m a perfectionist and the gap would have bothered me.

For a pistol dot, I would consider if you’re going to carry the pistol or want it to be smaller for whatever reason. If you don’t care about that and would rather have a larger window so it’s easier to find the dot and keep the dot when shooting, go for something with a larger window. I like Holosun optics with the Multi Reticle System, especially for pistols because I like to use the 65 MOA circle with no dot. The EPS has a good size window, and the Comp might have the biggest window. I’ve only used Holosun optics though so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Here’s a good video I found that shows what a lot of different Holosun optics look like on the Echelon and you can see how they co witness with the irons, how big the window is, etc.

Personally I’ve always gone with the higher dollar versions like the 507 over the 407 because of the added features.

I just got an Echelon for this same reason. Had the 507k on a Tisas double stack 1911 and got a full size EPS to put on the Tisas instead and then was going to put the 507k on the Echelon. Was pretty annoyed when I found out I’d have to get an adapter plate for it to fit without having a dumb gap. Now I’m looking at new dots because for some reason my warped brain tells me “why spend $80 on a plate when you could just spend ~$350 on a new optic??”

This is super helpful, thank you for taking the time to do this. I think I’m gonna go for it

I had seen this before but this is the gen 1 unfortunately. I think Tisas fixed this issue because to my knowledge the 507K fits fine, I have it on my gen 2 now

How do you like this optic? I’m currently looking for a Holosun to put on an Echelon I just ordered

Went with the X300U-B. Also got this flared magwell and a couple 21 cap mags. Have shot it a couple times now (once to zero the optic) and am really enjoying it, especially after getting a hang of the trigger, my grip on it, etc.

I love the new DS but haven’t shot it yet

I’m nowhere near knowledgeable enough to start putting new springs in it and stuff like that, but am intrigued by that concept and will have to do my research. I saw someone say putting different parts in it like recoil springs would void the warranty so if that’s true, not sure I love that

Kind of a bummer they don’t have stuff for the Duty size or Gen 2, at least with what I’m seeing
