U360 with 720...mini review.

<< < (2/3) > >>

jcoleman:
A 720 restrictor could be done with a solid circle with an offset joystick hole.  Imagine a cd with the same size hole but an inche from the edge instead of centered.  Then set that restrictor in a bearing of some sort (to keep it centered and flat) and you're all set.

PS I'm patenting that right this second...  ;)

Took me awhile, but now I get it (I'm kinda slow). Might be tough to integrate into the current U360 restrictor setup though. Not saying it would be impossible...just not easy. More power to you if you decide to give it a shot, jcoleman !  :)

Oh yea, the original controller would spin around the perimeter with no chance of centering, EVER. With the U360 it played OK, but I remember it being kinda....meh, because you would have to concentrate a bit on NOT letting the stick come off the perimeter or 'centering' even the slightest bit. This definitely took away from high performance 720 gameplay IMO.

I am wondering, could you create a special U360 map that maps all the "inner" area to the outer perimeter?
So even if you let the stick "sag" towards the middle, it would still "act" like its still riding the outer perimeter?
