What the Hardware? ep 001: Retroflag, 8bitdo M30, and RetroBit Saturn Pad Reviews

Today we have the first edition of What the Hardware? In this series I'll cover various pieces of gaming hardware and accessories. Neato!

Be gentle, this is old now and I didn't have good equipment when I recorded this.

In this video I take a basic look at the Genesis controller-design based Retroflag Classic USB Gamepad, the 8bitdo M30 (bluetooth) and the brand spanking new (as of this video) Retrobit Sega Saturn 2.4ghz officially licensed Saturn/USB controller.

One note about all three of these controllers - you can use them all either in xinput or dinput modes. I most often use them in xinput mode, but check your manuals, xinput isn't supported for all modes of operation!

Disclosure: I paid for all these so I have the right to HATE THEM. What, do you think I got sent these for free? I have like 2 subscribers! Anyway, the opinions are my own and were only influenced by my own experience.

I got the handy dandy background music from the YouTube Audio library. It's Dorian by Andrew Langdon. The banging sound also came from the YouTube Audio Library. The electric Razor sound was from http://soundsilk.com.

The idiotic beep-boop and phone conversation noises came from my mouth and after much negotiation were used with my own permission.
