The curves may very well be the same but the other flaws effect how most games preform which is why i tried out this little mod. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=165751 2016-08-31T19:45:04 -05.00 zredgemz 9
I am interested to know more about the d-pad differences. I have run into problems before with repro controllers' d-pads. I feel like they have a sort of exponential curve when pressed whereas and original controller has a more linear curve. when you press on a repro you move 0-10 extremely fast but with an O.G. you go from 0-8 in a bit slower of a time. Can make or break certain games.

from your pictures it's a bit hard to see but it looks like the back of the 8-bitdo d-pad looks to be convex and the O.G. looks a lot flatter. you might just be able to sand the 8-bitdo flatter to have a better response? ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=165751 2016-08-19T21:13:35 -05.00 zredgemz 9 Snes pad is always on the left

They look really close but the 8bit do looks like the arrows of the dpad at thicker.

I wonder if the one that came in it could be modified, like sanded or something incase people dont have a SNES controller to gut.
It might be but i do not have a tool to check thickness, the back of the 8bitdo dpad is a bit different too. When i get back from walking the dogs ill put up better photo's of the two.

I have a few broken shoulder button snes controllers that i have for parts and i found a use for the dpads, i plan on buying a second retro receiver and the NA style 8bitdo controller later this year to cover mutli player.

Edit: Make sure you update the firmware on the controller and the retro receiver before you start playing. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=165751 2016-08-19T14:05:59 -05.00 zredgemz 9 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=165751 2016-08-19T13:00:21 -05.00 zredgemz 9
Well i found a fix that works and makes the sfc30 work as a normal run of the mill snes controller, all you have to do is replace the dpad with one from a snes controller.
Snes dpad on the left

After trying this, all my issues with the games i mentioned are gone so i would assume 8bitdo has a slightly thicker dpad, Let me know if this helps you guys. ]]>
