This was my attempt to create a a SNES to Bluetooth adapter. It works but the average latency was 18.35ms, which I think is too much to be considered a good controller.

I use an 8bitdo sn30 pro. Apparently I haven't been using a good controller. Fooled me!

I wouldn't call that controller bad, just not optimal. For this, I would want to have it be under 10ms to publish the code and instructions.

I've had a lot of connection issues with that model

[–] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

How so? It disconnects? Or won't connect to start?

[–] Splatterphace@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Both, and I was literally right next to my phone

Hmm I was thinking maybe an old phone but that's not that old.

Try charging while connecting. I've found that a low battery often seems like poor connection quality. The way it gives up when it can't connect is very similar to just the battery dying.

I have two of em-- They're pretty good! Definitely not perceptibly laggy or anything, at least to me.

Probably just outed myself as a casual.
