SNES Controller Extensions
I'm having an issue with using SNES controller extensions with my Retron5. I believe these are Retro-Bit brand extenders, which worked fine on my SNES. I'm using firmware v2.0 Beta 5. (The extenders also were not working with Beta 4, but I never tried it on the stable firmware.)
When I plug them in, all the buttons are mapped incorrectly. For example, pressing R acts as if I pressed Up on the Dpad.
When I posted about this on Hyperkin's Facebook page, somebody mentioned the Tyco Power Plug working as an cable extension with their Retron5. I've got one on order now, so I'll report back on if I have more luck with this accessory.
Has anybody else had this problem with extension cables? If you have cables that work without issue, what brand are the cables, and what firmware version are you using?

Re: SNES Controller Extensions
I wonder if this is in any way related to the issue Hyperkin more or less confirmed with the standard Nintendo SNES controllers being mapped incorrectly as well.

I hadn't heard about this. Do you have a link?Seig wrote:I wonder if this is in any way related to the issue Hyperkin more or less confirmed with the standard Nintendo SNES controllers being mapped incorrectly as well.
My controllers do work fine without extender cables.

Re: SNES Controller Extensions
hello,
I bought two entension cables (see picture below), and it's weird....
I have 2 Super Famicom controllers (controller A and controller B)
They both work fine on both controller slot.
When I plug one (or two combined !) extension cable(s) with controller A, it works on slot 1 or slot 2.
When I plug an extendion cable with controller B I have some issues (mapped incorrectly), on slot 1 or slot 2 (same problem with the 2 extensions cables)
There is no logical explanation
NB : firmware V1.6

These are the same extension cables I am using. I wonder if these specific cables are causing an issue?Antoine_France wrote:hello,

Re: SNES Controller Extensions
It works PERFECTLY with "controller A", even if i put two cables together (I can play very far from my tv....), so why the problem would come from the cables ?
And why it doesnt work on "controller B", even if controller B alone works great.....???
I made all the crossmatch tests, and there is definitly no logical reason...

Re: SNES Controller Extensions
I don't seem to have any problem with my extension cables, with either my OEM Nintendo controllers or my Retro-bit SNES controllers.
These are the cables I have

Re: SNES Controller Extensions
Thanks! I bought these, and they work great with the Retron5! I have no idea why my other extension cables don't work, but I'm glad it's not my system that's the problem.JDavis wrote:These are the cables I have
Re: SNES Controller Extensions
My SNES Controller after it's plugged in has to be pulled out ever so slightly to fully work. If it's plugged in all the way it has that mapping issue where only the R button X button work for Up and Down. Anyone else with this issue? Extension cables don't even register.
