To celebrate my new webshop www.retrozone.com.au I decided to have a "I can makes webshops sale"

Everything in the shop is on sale (Yes that's right all 5 items). For the time being we only accept Paypal.

The Super Nintendo style USB controllers have been my most popular ebay item so far and the feedback from everyone has been great. These controllers are easy to setup and work just about as well as the original Super Nintendo controls. They are perfect for emulation.

Item's are shipped by Australia post Parcel post with tracking and is a flat fee of $7.

Any feedback about the shop will be appreciated. In the near future my range will also be expanding and next week I should have USB Sega Saturn controllers, USB N64 and USB NES controllers.

Also if you have any requests about a retro controller or items please let me know and I will see what I can do.

EDIT. Just to let you guys know these are not official controllers. If anyone purchased them thinking they were please contact me for a refund.

Cheers

Chris

      Fairly good quality.

      As for the real deal almost a good, I thought they were practically identical when I initially picked it up. However if you have one side by side you will notice some subtle differences. Feedback has been great from everyone so far and a friend of mine who is an avid gamer noticed the subtle differences as well.

    If your gonna stock things like this I think you should also carry the Usb connectors chances are people who will want to play on their computers via usb already own the consoles and controllers and would like to use the Original controllers (much higher quality usually). Also if you do make sure if you carry the ps2 ones you get the kind that can be used for DDR mats (some don't have the option. most that do you need to hold a set of keys in the right order to activate "DDR mode") so people can use them for normal ps2 or DDR. Best of luck with your retro store.

      Yeah, the truth is the genuine controllers often have incredible build quality. For platformers and fighting games, my SNES controllers are still more accurate and responsive than my 360 controller (mostly due to the D-pad, I heard the next-gen consoles will have better d-pads as some of Nintendo's patents have finally expired).

      Still, if you can't find them in good condition, the fakes are great for a little nostalgia.

        I was playing Killer Instinct on my old SNES the other day and physically exclaimed "WHAT THE F*CK?" when I noticed how amazingly responsive the D-Pad was. Seriously - why don't they make D-Pads like this anymore?? Surely a patent or two can't stop you from making good controller buttons.

      Thanks for that I will look at getting those in the future. The only problem I had with those adapters is that I would have to charge more than the controller and I didn't think anyone would buy it at that price.

      Not sure why it costs more but I don't think a simple adapter does it.

      • ItsMeAgro on 06/11/2013 - 14:36

          I would so fund a Open source software driver for windows that excellently easily connects the ps3 controller through bluetooth just because motion joy is such a piece of garbage.

  • c0balt on 06/11/2013 - 14:38

    Good deal. I'll hold you to the N64 to USB controllers though. My N64 controllers have the all too common limp stick, so I'm not about to buy a USB to N64 converter so I can play N64 emulators.

    You should start adding Android/iOS compatible gear for playing emulators also. Something like a generic gameklip (http://buy.thegameklip.com) and controller combo would be pretty damn awesome, as the game klip is ridiculously over priced (a bent piece of plastic costs more than a PS3 gamepad), There doesn't exist a generic one yet, but there are solutions such as 3D printing your own or using a spider podium (what I ended up doing).

    • Store Repkasp @ RetroZone on 06/11/2013 - 14:46

      I have seen a stack of Bluetooth controllers which do exactly that but I am always hesitant to order wireless devices. I will keep an eye out for the clip though.

      • c0balt on 06/11/2013 - 14:50
        +1

        Fair enough.

        I don't blame your hesitancy, as the cheaper ones can use different protocols over bluetooth and might only use the usb port for charging rather than data (making a rooted phone necessary).

        There do exist copies of the PS3 controller that work fine over USB (and can also charge from that port) and also work great over bluetooth. They are generally a little more expensive than the really cheap ones (still cheap though, got mine for $20 delivered a few months back) but act the same as an official PS3 controller so compatibility has been great, with and without using the six axis controller app.

        The klip is a different story. I'm pretty sure that no generic ones exist but it would be awesome if you could find them or even have a batch printed from your own design.

          To you and Mike:

          It was over 3 months ago so I can't view the item in eBay to tell you the exact one I got.

          I'm fairly certain that this is the same one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BRAND-NEW-Black-PS3-Wireless-Blue…

          I'm thinking mine had a lip around the thumb sticks though (same as original) but I won't be 100% sure until I get home in 10 hours time and have a look.

          It states specifically that it can be charged or played with using the USB cable and that it works with the PS3 straight out of the box. Those were the two important ones I was looking for when making my purchase a while back and it worked great.

          It also heavier and sturdier than the real cheap ones with a build quality very similar to the real deal.

          This is partly why I recommended to the rep to sell these. If I had the option of paying an extra ~$5 but was guaranteed that it was going to work for my purpose I would have taken it. It was a slight gamble for me to buy it on eBay with there being so many bad fakes out there that won't work.

          EDIT: Just realised I posted this from a coworkers account :/

        • mikeInside on 06/11/2013 - 21:13

          Thanks for the super detailed reply c0balt! :)

          with and without using the six axis controller app.

          Dooes this mean that you don't need the app (motioninjoy) for USB gaming, but you still need it to connect to a PC via bluetooth?

        • c0balt on 06/11/2013 - 23:25
          +1

          I'm almost certain that when I had the generic PS3 controller hooked up to the PC that it was recognised as a normal gamepad. I haven't actually used it for PC gaming, as I use my xbox 360 controllers with the 'wireless kit for windows' for PC gaming that requires a gamepad and personally prefer the xbox controller to the PS3 one.

          I used the generic PS3 controller for Android and it works both using USB without root, as a standard gamepad for the likes of the GTA series and emulators, and also when rooted over bluetooth so you can use pair it to the phone/tablet without a USB cable and also emulate on screen controls using the six axis controller app.

      Hello C0balt,

      I tried to send you a pm but I think you have that blocked.

      Well it looks like the stock for the n64 controllers has arrived much sooner than I expected. I haven't posted a deal yet to give everyone who showed interest in this thread first opportunity to buy them.

      It is 27 for the controller and 7 dollars for shipping. I think that makes me the cheapest seller in Australia. You can pickup if you want and I could reduce the price a bit more but the shipping is a killer on these things although it weighs under 500 grams I can't fit it in the 500 gram satchels so I have to put it in a 3 kilo one which costs 11.70. Since I haven't got weight based shipping working yet that is why the controller is a bit higher price and why I can reduce it if you pickup.

      http://www.retrozone.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&… It's not featured and I have buried it in the retro section.

      Regards

      Chris

  • puffinfresh on 06/11/2013 - 14:40

    Sold! I was looking for these a while ago so I had something to control my dodgy DIY arcade table with, without having to invest in an arcade joystick and buttons. I could only find them from overseas (amazon or thinkgeek) with crazy high shipping costs.

    Do they just output keyboard strokes?

    • c0balt on 06/11/2013 - 14:44

      "Do they just output keyboard strokes?"

      If it's like any of the many, many gamepads I have had in my time then the controller's output would be as a gamepad and not keyboard strokes.

      • puffinfresh on 06/11/2013 - 14:48

        In that case, I assume my mac wouldn't natively support it?

        Maybe my mame software (I forget what one it is) has built in support. I'll sort it out when it arrives.

        edit: Can you tell I'm not a gamer :P

        • c0balt on 06/11/2013 - 14:53

          Pretty certain that OSX supports gamepads.

          I have a gamepad and OSX so I'll plug it in and let you know.

          EDIT: Well nothing really happened besides the controller started to charge and I can't see it in the preferences pane. I don't have any software to use and it's the first time I've tried using this controller on my Mac so it could be working just I can't test it.

          Yeah have a look inside MAME.

    • Store Repkasp @ RetroZone on 06/11/2013 - 15:01

      • puffinfresh on 06/11/2013 - 15:10

        It probably would be, but it's a pretty half arsed set up, so this will do. Up until now I've been using a keyboard.

        • puffinfresh on 06/11/2013 - 15:21

          Ok. I'll let you know either way. Surely there'll be something built into my mame client, or if not, a third party solution.

      They are good but not as good as a genuine controller. However they are less than half of price.

      I tested the controller playing Naruto Storm 3 and I have no complaints. Only thing I noticed was the missing X on the X box button and the LB and RB buttons make a much louder clicking sound.

      The dpad is just as bad as the original xbox 360 controllers. Who knows why they decided to clone that perfectly. :/

      • Fapmyster on 06/11/2013 - 16:35

        Haha fair enough, as long as the buttons and thumbpads feel solid enough sounds like a good deal, I try to avoid the D-pad if possible for just that reason. Thanks for responding to questions on here as well. Do you have a link to your ebay store?

          Well I haven't setup a store yet because I don't have a huge range which justifies it but my username is Retrozoneau.

          The controller I opened up is good but I can't be 100% sure if the rest of them are of the same quality. I haven't received any feedback from anyone who has bought them yet. However if you are unhappy with it please let me know and I am sure we can work something out. I kinda wish they weren't sealed in plastic because then I could press the buttons and make sure they are all working fine.

          I don't want to be one of those sellers that just peddles crap. My goal is to find a good compromise in price and quality.

          Keep digging that negative vote hole Dave, the numbers will tell you the general consensus that you're out of line. Lose the attitude.

          it isn't breaking the law.

          He didn't sell them as Genuine Nintendo controllers

          some may get confused……..but the vast majority of people would not be and your rant helped nothing but showed us the OP seems like a decent seller

          Why?

        • Diji1 on 06/11/2013 - 18:07

          Because you're being negged into oblivion. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and acknowledge that your wrong. Happens to everyone.

          Firstly, suck what up?

          People can neg all they want.

          Secondly, how on Earth does being negged prove that you're wrong?

          Here's a clue…it doesn't.

          But, then I guess there's no point in trying to prove that.

          Some people just don't see sense

          I'm out of downvotes for 24 hours?

        Aside from the Xbox 360 one no one should think these are original controllers as USB didn't exist when all of these came out as far as I know. I've only ever seen a few Real controllers that have been modified to include USB but those are never mass produced.

        Anyway your doing a good job with all your responses so keep up the good work!

      You've exhausted my negative votes for comments for the day. Top job.

        Is it weird that I log in just to read down voted comments?

          If you enjoy shaking your head at the most useless of ideas and virtually punching people in the face, then it definitely isn't weird at all.

        I've bookmarked the page so I can come back tomorrow and down vote some more.

      "how are we supposed to play any games with it?"

      @Jackbob, you are probably too young to use these controllers ;)

        ^^^This. If people require any kind of dual analog stick, they have never gamed properly.

        Never.

      You're right! I should throw away my original NES because it doesn't have analog sticks. It's completely useless!

      Actually, the same goes for my Macbook, television, fridge and toaster.
