USB Game Controllers confirmed to work (at least with Teslatari games)

[DavidElg]

I just received my iBuffalo USB Gamepad today from Amazon. Happy to report that it works great with all the Atari games. It's also worth noting it's half the price and half the bulk of a PS4 or XBox controller. Now just waiting on Cuphead

Edit: Breakout isn't really playable with this gamepad. It just moves the paddle completely to the left or right side depending on how you press the d-pad.

Yep, all of these things are why I went with it as well!

I tried a cheap one just to see if it would work. It didn't. so don't bother with this one.

I use this one but just like Wado said for his XBOX One controller it would help to have a sensitivity adjustment.

I have this one and it works great for Teslatari games. I'm hoping they add support for beach buggy racing in the future.

Can you adjust sensitive on that one?

Not that I know of.

has anyone confirmed a wireless controller to work?

@jebinc Did you get this to work with bb2?

Nope. Supposedly, when/if 2019.28.2 downloads, it will have that ability, per the release notes... Who know though...

I bought the ibuffalo controller a bunch of people recommended and it doesn’t really work with beach buggy. Just the controls for the power ups work. Steering and braking doesn’t work with the controller :/

Same here

I dug out an old Microsoft Sidewinder game pad -- the ancient 4-button model -- and that at least works with Centipede. I haven't tested it with BBII yet however.

What firmware are you running?

 

[malou]

Anyone tested Steam Controller with it's wireless USB adapter? Might have one stored somewhere, just have to find it.

What firmware are you running?

2019.28.2

2019.28.2

I'm still on 2019.24.4 and was hoping 28.2 would enable the controller to work with BB2, as the release notes suggest.

I got 28.2 a few days ago, but only now got around to testing my xbox wired usb controller. It seems to work well with BB2 - was able to accelerate, brake, steer, do the A and B features. I don't know about the other games, and whether everything was actually working, but it was fun, and I even won a race. This is just a standard issue usb xbox, the kind that you can buy at best buy.

How's the "sensitivity"? Overly sensitive like most controllers seem to be with Teslatari/BB2?

 

[sduck]

I don't have the other ones to judge against. Seemed ok to me, was usable.
