genesis 3 button controller support

[Drowhunter]

please add native support for these controllers from the genesis mini

I can't believe that the 3 button controller isn't supported. VERY LAME!

[Drowhunter]

I actually got this working, but had to program something myself since there is a bug in x360CE that causes multiple buttons to be held down when pressing the buttons.

WOW! That's cool, glad you found a way to make it possible.

I use the rather excellent 8bitdo M30 controller to play this game. It works like a dream and gives a very authentic experience.

Buy the bluetooth dongle and you can use this controller on your Genesis/Megadrive mini!

Thanks guys for sharing!
We should be supporting every controller that Steam is supporting, and can't do much more as we're directly using their tech. If you go in:
Steam Library>SoR4>Settings/Manage>Properties>
you can change the Steam Input Per-Games Setting. It helped some people to get their controller working.
If someone finds a workaround to make all the controllers work (including the obvious Genesis Mini) we'll do our best to spread the news!

It would be sweet if along the other button layouts that you can select in SOR4 "Xbox 360, PS4, Switch" you could add Sega Mega Drive Genesis / Saturn buttons. So we could see the Sega retro button prompts =). It would add value to retro gamers.

Note: I use my Saturn + USB Adapter using Big Picture mode and It works.

Actually not a bad idea!
But then, green-yellow-blue buttons like Retro-Bit's controller (more readable) or all dark-gray (more authentic)?
In any case, I'd have to get one first, at least to make sure the C button gets mapped to C :)

I'm using a 6 button official Sega controller and it's fine. I had to map it to PS4 etc., but I'm having no button press issues or anything like that. It's working fine

Hmmm it depends, colored looks like the Saturn white pad (the one I use) and for some reason the colors are the same as Xbox buttons [Microsoft was inspired by Saturn and DC I think]. But for Mega Drive / Genesis I think all grey is fine..

But thinking here, as an UX Designer myself, probably you should take the USABILITY route and go for colored ones. Or maybe a mix.. the background button is grey but the typography is colored. You should test it. =)

BTW I just ordered my Retro-Bit 2.4ghz Crystal blue controller (Mega Drive Genesis).

Why not both? Would be nice to have the option to switch between the 2 styles.

Mega Drive Genesis buttons (six buttons):

The start button could be blue like the japanese controllers

Mega Drive Genesis buttons (3 buttons):

Saturn buttons (white):

I'm pretty much on the usability side too. But that also means limiting the choice, because too much of it and it becomes SORR - awesome for hardcore fans, but just a headache for normal people :) And then since this option would primarily be for authenticity/nostalgia factor, grey could be best.
Or actually, the real question is: which controller is actually used? cuz the real issue is when you look at your controller and then on the screen and it's different and then you're confused. And if everyone is playing with THE RetroBit model with colored buttons (there's just one!) it's not the same as if everyone is playing with their original 25+ years old controller through an adapter.

In any case, fun discussion. Gotta get back to the obscure crashes now!
