Inaccurate Range and Angles - To compensate for the over-stretching of the values, they are clamped between -80 and +80 as can be seen in the plot. This makes the warped range appear much more square than octagonal! This gives you less precision in the analogue stick compared to my own mapping. It is clear from looking at the plot that the values are all much more significantly warped throughout the entire range of the stick. Less Precision - The values (especially the diagonals) are stretched more than necessary. However, in my opinion, there are a few reasons why their mapping isn't the better of the two: It is personal preference which mapping you choose, and I decided to include it to give people the choice. As you can see, many of the central values are left completely unchanged, giving a smoother, and more original feel across the majority of the stick range: Here is a animation of the values before the diagonals are warped, and after they get warped. This means that many of the diagonal values are not altered, meaning movements around the center of the stick's range do not get skewed at all! Values closer to the edge of the stick range are warped by a larger amount than the more central values. Unskewed Central Values - The diagonal values do not get warped equally across the entire range. This gives you a greater amount of precision across the entire working range, since no part of the GameCube stick range is wasted on values which aren't even possible with a Nintendo 64 controller. More Precision - All values are stretched by no more than is absolutely necessary. There are two main benefits to my mapping compared to many other mappings available, which make playing with a GameCube controller feel as close as possible to playing with a Nintendo 64 controller:
#WII GAMECUBE USB ADAPTER FULL#
The overall range is squashed, and the diagonals are stretched out by the minimum amount necessary to allow full range in every Nintendo 64 rerelease. If you've seen it on sale for anything close to the £18 face value, let us know where in the comments.As you can see, the values are mapped to precisely fit within the working range of an official Nintendo 64 controller.
