It is good and worth it

I have a mess of adapters for different controllers right now, and most of them cost me 20$ or more per adapter. This is a much more elegant solution. 

Such a reconnaissance in retrogaming/emulation occurring in recent years. Awesome time to be in the scene.

Yea I've been meaning to grab this since it came out.  Now might be a good time.

Own it and it's amazing. It really works and for me the controller is 50% of the nostalgia feeling playing Snes with a Xbox or PS controller is just wrong. 

Super happy to see better Retroach support.

Got one and it's definitely worth it. Just need to get hold of some TurboGrafx/PC Engine cable (they're not in production yet) and I'll have everything I need. Absolutely agree that using the original controllers improves the experience.

Have you got this yet?  I'm still really curious as to how the hot-swapping really works.

Yes, I can run any tests you like, I have a boat load of controllers. But here is how it works.


Plug in say a snes, and hit the rest button. Game, and play...
now this is a diamon style button layout, so unplug it ( controller will press  start and try to pause the game )
plug in another diamond style controller, say, psx
and just keep gaming, the layout is the same. 

You can do that dor any controller but some layouys are a funky match. There is also an alternitive layout mode 

Now if for some reason it does not find the new controller, hit reset. That forces it to redetect, but often not needed. Just make sure to wait up to 2 second before useing the swapped out controller. The 4-Play and the 4-Play Advacned work the same way.
