Well just given this a go and of my small sample size the only one that didn't boot was Die Hard Trilogy. Everything else got in game, I'm not that familiar with how stuff runs on original hardware but at least there weren't any major issues that jumped out at me.
It is definitely more user friend;y than SSF and Medafan. I was up and running within 2 minutes or so. Just had to remember where I had stored the Saturn BIOS and set up keybindings for my 8bitdo M30.
@BHPM It's $170/£164 so slight overkill if you are just going to use it for Amiibo stuff. I have one though and that is my main use of it so those in glass houses.
If you haven't seen them before you can normally get amiibo cards from china on a variety of websites which have the functionality of certain ones built in. I bought one of all the Zelda ones a few years ago for under a tenner so that might be of more interest.
@LikelySatan I’ve got one of mine connected to my switch but I’ve been playing that less and less since I upgraded my PC, now mainly use it for exclusives and those really work better with dual analogue sticks.
On my PC it’s connected by the D input option where C and Z are the bumpers and the shoulder buttons act like triggers as I said in my previous message. I’ve found this works super well for RPGs like Chained Echo and Jack Move so it’s my primary controller I use for 2D games on there.
I’ve got one of their ultimate controllers that I use for anything 3D. That’s replaced an Xbox Elite 2 controller which started to have issues with the bumpers after a few months. The build quality on them is shockingly bad especially for the price.
The M30 does have L2 and R2 buttons. Because it has 6 face buttons C and Z are mapped as the bumpers or L1/R1 in PlayStation terms. The shoulder buttons are then mapped as the triggers.
It has 4 different pairing modes where the buttons are slightly different, if you go on the bit do site there is a manual explaining it all.
It is my favourite controller they sell, I have 3 of them. I bought one for my pc and one for my switch but after they released a white one with colour buttons I had to get that as well.
@SpaceyCiel back in 1999 my brother asked for Super Smash Bros. He ended up getting Smash Bros and an N64 (I had an N64 I had gotten for a previous birthday and shared it with him). My mum said that she hadn’t been planning on buying him his own console but it was only an extra £30 or so to get a console as well.

@Damo I like how the on label on the power switch looks like it’s saying NO after your issues with it.
