Notaz has posted a video of the new handheld console Pandora (coming out in Fall/Autumn)running Quake 2 with ease.
It's running in pure software mode, 320x240 resolution scaled to fit screen.
Phantom Squad is an intense 1-4 player tactical top-down shooter that blends fast-paced combat with strategic planning, drawing inspiration from games like Hotline Miami and Rainbow Six. Set to release in 2025 on Steam, players take on the role of disavowed operatives who must carefully plan their assault before breaching rooms.
Nintendo Switch 2 stick drift is already an issue, but accessory makers are already working on magnetic joysticks.
I've never had stick drift in any controller I've ever owned. All my joycons (3 sets) from my Switch are perfectly fine. My Switch 2 ones are good. Never had a dualshock / dualsense have it (did have a dualshock get a stuck trigger once). Even my Valve Index controllers which were notorious for drift were fine for me.
Varies. Just because you've never had one doesn't mean others won't. I've had PS, Xbox, and Nintendo controllers indeed drift on me. Remember the drift lawsuits that Nintendo has had.
Please stop trying to say that traditional potentiometers are absolutely fine when hall effect/tmr sticks are beyond superior lol, not sure why so many people keep trying to defend potentiometers when hall effects are so pro consumer.
Companies like nintendo, sony, and mcsft don't want to implement them simply because they want you the consumer to keep buying them. Most casuals will just buy a new controller if theirs difts, easy money for the big 3.
I've gone hall effects and have never gone back, can leave my controllers out absolutely fine without worry of dust ruining the sticks.
when did I say that traditional joysticks are absolutely fine? I'm sharing my own experience here. I never said that others don't experience issues, nor that this is somehow acceptable. Strange leapfrog from A to B on that one.
People love to say it's a huge widespread issue, yet you only hear about it because the minority is vocal whereas the majority don't report anything because they are fine.
I'm happy you switched to hall effect sticks, if that's what works for you, then awesome.
Cool? Pretty sure this is for those who are having it happen. Not sure how your anecdote addresses other peoples' problems.
people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will.
lucky you. I've only had minor drift once in my L Joycon which I fixed with some card stock, but drift is an undeniable problem as a whole.
My 2 sets of Joy-Cons from my OG Switch started to drift with just a month of use. That is why I bought Dobe Joy-Cons with just $25, and until now they are still fine. I hope this will never happen again on my Switch 2.
My left joy con for the OG Switch got stick drift right away as well. I never had issues with my PS5 controllers since launch until I got my kids PS5’s and they had stick drift with 2 controllers. They drop them because they are kids and although I have them wash their hands before gaming they still get gunk under them somehow. I got their controllers modded because they would have issues no matter what I have them do.
"people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will."
no, nobody is acting like that, you're jsut exaggerating it and lying to downplay a problem
you know, i said the same thing not too long ago and then BOOM both controllers ha.
one on the moving stick and one on the look around stick.
both suck arse. ha
The tech is already there. I had a couple of my PS5 controllers modded with Hall Effect modules and they work great. They should come standard with them these days but they don’t.
Nyxi already made some fantastic Hall Effect controllers for Switch 1. I don't know why Nintendo couldn't have it by now if Nyxi has had for years.
Cheap, frictionless sensors ALREADY exist. Why are they "working hard to combat stick drift"? Stick drift should be a thing of the past at this point. The technology is here...NOW. It has been...for YEARS! Why is stick drift even still spoken about? It shouldn't exist!
Because its a scam for Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft to sell more overpriced controllers.
WD 40 if it's shagg.d anyway why not ? I ordered a new ps5 pad after Helldivers 2 and POE 2 became unplayable due to drift but in the meantime I fired a bit of WD on my balls just below my stick rotated in a clockwise fashion massaging it in so to speak and also did the pin reset thingy and all clean no drift and hit that cancel purchase button like I meant it
Honestly I’ve used my original Switch JoyCons and Pro Controller since launch and only in the last year did I see drift start to show up on one of my JoyCons. I’m sure it happens depending on how much and how firm the joystick is used, but it seems like a minor issue that goes with wear and tear after thousands of hours of play. I wish there had been Hall Effect sticks on Switch 2 just so there’s one less thing to worry about, but I’m not really concerned about it.
Find or be Found puts players in the roles of desperate thieves robbing haunted houses, with one player infiltrating the building while their partner guides them remotely through cameras and a radio. The twist: you're not just avoiding security systems, but supernatural monsters that want you dead
wow, iv never heard of the pandora, but i would like to know more about it, it looks gd, like a mix between the Ds and Psp.... awesome
Man I CAN'T WAIT for this thing to hit, I've wanted it for the past 3 months as soon as preorders go up it's a wrap. I'll have a hard decision over which to carry with me between this, PSP, and DS Lite.
320x240 resolution software backed for Quake 2 looks like CRAP!
Seriously! Ron Zook remembers back in the day playing it on Ron Zooks pentium in 1997 and we'd run it at 1020x786 or whatever with OpenGL and it was beautiful. Loved the multiplayer and all the crazy mods. Weapons of destruction anyone? RON ZOOK APPROVES OF WOD MOD.
Sorry but PSP can run this with ease why get pandora when you got a psp? its a silly idea ppl who want homebrew just get and mod their psps for it
I am a little confused...Quake II is a game from 1997...a PSP should be able to scream at that engine...hell an N64 was able to run ports of that engine as well as some crappy PC's at that time...
obviously this handheld things runs it without a problem...but I don't see how that is really significant...
great map though...I played that in MP nearly non-stop, especially with grappling hook mod...
