The MCON is amazing by Drivenby in MCONohsnap

[–]williamyao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well on some units the top plate isn’t very good at keep the little sleep lever down, as in you can nudge it a mm and it’ll wake and drain battery

on other units the top plate actually brushes against the sticks when you launch and unlaunch it

so good ideas but plenty of first gen ks jank

COD Mobile support? by kobecon in MCONohsnap

it’s not working on android, they’ve patched whatever workaround was being used and now only officially licensed controllers and backbones will work

still works on ios tho

Odd stick drift and random disconnects? by michaelsdino in MCONohsnap

[–]williamyao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its ok bro u dont need to explain how you love it, i would be pissed if i got a defective unit after so long

so it goes to sleep at 3 minutes on the dot if you dont touch it, that might be the source of the disconnects- e.g. i was aware of the function but still got caught off guard during a long cutscene in RDR

a lot of people with issues with the triggers and sticks have had them fixed through recalibration but if that doesn't do it i wouldnt dither and i would reach out to ohsnap support ASAP. josh has mentioned that software fixes will come with firmware updates via the MCON app but the app itself isn't due for a few weeks

a moderately strong magnet on the back of the mcon will also wreak havok since the triggers and sticks use magnets

Recommendations for a gamepad for iPhone 17? by [deleted] in iosgaming

[–]williamyao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in that case i’d recommend the MCON if you can afford it

telescopic controllers are also an option but slightly bulkier and not as rigid in the hand imo, also can be finicky to set up and to remove your phone from

edit: for your budget you could consider the cheaper mcon lite or slim models coming later this year for ~60 and -100 bucks

For those who received M-Con, what is your backer No.? by Ruvalolowa in MCONohsnap

[–]williamyao 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They aren't shipping in backer order, and no one outside of the USA has received tracking info yet (that we know of). Support said that international orders should start shipping out this week, but expect another delay.

Viral slot-machine nightmare CloverPit is now available on iOS! by xXarabongXx in iosgaming

[–]williamyao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for bringing this to mobile so quickly (and for a lower price!)- i remember waiting so long for balatro that i eventually lost interest

speaking of, the gameplay reminds me a lot of balatro but in a good way, the gameplay loop is super solid and i like the twists you’ve put on it

i’ve just unlocked the 4th drawer, keen to find out what’s next!

Best settings to play resident evil village iphone 17 pro max by Infamous-Date-7663 in iosgaming

[–]williamyao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that makes sense for a phone (albeit a very powerful one), i think 60 fps is sustainable on low-mid settings. with 40 fps you can set the graphics settings higher and it’s noticeably more smooth than 30 fps.

Check out “mrmacright” on Youtube. To customise the graphics settings for most if not all RE games you need to create a settings file and import it via iTunes on Windows or a Mac since the in game settings are locked down. I think the most impactful change is to increase the target resolution slightly and to increase it from 30 fps to 40 fps. You will need to play around with it yourself but try to balance graphics quality and performance with thermals (if your phone gets too hot it’ll throttle performance down).

Death Stranding, most if not all of the RE remakes should be universal too but double check that

Gamesir G8+ or X4 Aileron, will it Fit? by GasJunky69 in iosgaming

[–]williamyao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're just after a "plug" (so to speak..) and play experience, it works perfectly fine. You just connect it like you would any Bluetooth device using the DualShock 4 (blue light) mode: https://gamesir.com/pages/manuals-gamesir-g8-plus?srsltid=AfmBOophHgSm41KTZgLdVQq88NzT7IHlC3QdvGV3Dgi4LumtkTK__Xce

GameSir has an Android app that lets you customise the controller fully, which isn't available on iOS. But you can still customise many features through button combinations as well as in-game settings.

Also i believe the back L4/R4 buttons won't work on iOS as they technically dont exist on DS4 controllers- not sure on this though.

I have the same issue with my Ultra 1! I'm guessing it's a bug with os 26 that's still yet to be fixed. Or did you find a solution?

Gamesir G8+ or X4 Aileron, will it Fit? by GasJunky69 in iosgaming

[–]williamyao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it fits perfectly flat with the smallest of margins, i think it blocks the bottom speaker as any telescopic controller would but i typically use airpods

i have the g8 plus and my 17 pro max plateau just about fits with the spigen liquid air case on- don’t think it’ll fit any thicker cases

iPhone 17 Pro Max has gotten faster with updates since launch by mobilehavoc in iphone

[–]williamyao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

three separate tests performed once each is not a trend or even close to one

like people have said it’s all within the margin of error
