SHIELDTV & N64 Emulator

Postby supermattkelly » Sat Aug 12, 2017 1:56 pm

The emulation runs great, but I'm CONSTANTLY accidentally toggling the Regular/Swapped/GoldenEye setting when using the left analogue control stick. It is very easy to accidentally "click" it while playing a game, which triggers the toggle. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally died after my controls swapped from an accidental click!

Is there a way to turn this feature off, so that they will only toggle when in the settings menu?

Thanks!

That action is done with the SELECT button, not the analog. How can you press that? (I'm curious).

The SHIELDTV controller's analogue joysticks also feature the ability to "click". Meaning, you can push down on the analogue joy stick, feel a "click," which then can be tied to some sort of action. On another emulator, I had mapped the right analogue "click" to bring up the menu. But mapping anything to the left analogue "click" is detrimental to a fun gaming experience. :( I'd love to see an update that would remove this! I'm surprised no other SHIELDTV owners have chimed in on this yet.

I see. They have not chimed because they have mapped the BACK button of the Shield to be the SELECT button :-)
Yes, you can do that.

I think what the person is saying Franco is that, they would rather there were NO keys or commands mapped to the left Analogue stick, so if you press in Analogue stick in mistake, it doesn't do anything at all.

One shouldn't map a button to the analog stick. There is no need to, unless you are using an OUYA controller.
