Hi! I just got a copy of Motogp20 to use with a switch that my Fiance bought:) I'm a huge motogp fan so was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately the game was designed for pressure sensitive triggers (xbox, playstation) which the switch does not have. This means I can't modulate the brakes or accelleration which is necessary for the full experience.
Is it possible to use a convertor and a playstation controller to allow for pressure sensitive braking and accelleration?
I'll buy them if it will work but don't want to waste time and money if it won't! Thanks- Im new to Switch!
@JFroggo I can use my gamecube controller on my switch for Trials Rising and Grid Autosport. Gamecube controllers have analog triggers. Those games i mentioned were made for other consoles first, and first consoles have analog trigger controllers. Moto gp is probably the same deal. So, that's why ps4 controller w 8bitdo usb bluetooth adapter will probably work for moto gp.
But yeah, the ps4 controller works well on the switch, if you get a bluetooth adapter like @Tasuki mentioned. I have come close to getting a pa4 controller, and the 8bitdo is the one I'd get. Mayflash makes one too. You can find youtube videos of how to use a ps4/xbox controller on the switch.
@WoomyNNYes Thanks pal! Does that mean a gamecube controller would do what I need for the nintendo switch (pressure sensitive triggers)? Sounds simpler than the PS4 and the adapter. Probably cheaper too...
@JFroggo Yes, gamecube controller triggers are pressure sensitive, aka analog triggers. I got the Mayflash gamecube controller adapter and I like it. If you have a Wii U gamecube controller adapter, those work with the Switch too.
Once you have one of those you can connect a PS4 or Xbox Controller to your Switch.
@WoomyNNYes I looked at a how to, and it suggested that when using the XBOX controller the joystick only work as an On/Of switch so you cant do subtle movements. Can anyone confirm or deny this with PS4 controller or Gamecube?
@JFroggo Did they say that problem was with a specific game, or just a general problem? If true, there's something screwy they aren't saying - I've never heard of a joystick working like and on/off switch. And, I've never encountered that with the gamecube controller on my switch. @Tasuki does use a ps4 controller with the 8bitdo. There is no reason to think xbox controller would do that. Not sure what your source is, or how credible that is, or if that's for a retro 8bit retro game, which was never designed for analog sticks (joysticks). All modern games should work fine with ps4/xbox controllers, if you get an adapter.
Hi all! Update and problem...
I bought the adapter to use a new Xbox one remote on the nintendo switch. It pairs and works after updating which is great.
The reason I got it is to be able to modulate the accelerator and brakes on Motogp2020. Unfortunately when I tried this, the analogue trigger buttons still work only as an on/off switch:( Is this normal or is there a way to fix it?
@JFroggo hey there, I haven't played this game or used the adapter. I don't know if analog triggers are emulated using these sorts of adapters. As I understand it, games like trials rising automatically map the analog stick (used for incremental acceleration) to the trigger when you plug in a GameCube controller.
Have you tried looking in the settings or options menu in Moto GP 2020 to see if there's an option for using analog acceleration on one of the sticks? It might be the best you can do to be honest, but im not familiar with the game so I do hope I'm wrong and somebody else knows a work around!
@ralphdibny Hey mate thanks for the reply! Sounds like I may have wasted my money then:(. Yes on motogp20 you can map the accellerator to the joystick but it does not work in practise because if you are not exactly all the way forward or back you can't get full throttle or brake... That's why I went the direction I did. I have had a look in all the settings and can't see a work around.
@JFroggo no worries, yeah I hate the analog stick acceleration too! I'm not sure how trials, as an example, just randomly remaps the stick to the triggers. I've heard it also rejigs other buttons around.
What is the dongle you got in the end? I don't want to fill you with false hope but some of them offer some limited remapping capabilities when you plug them into a computer which then carries over to using it on a console. I did have a Google but I couldnt easily find anything about remapping the sticks to the triggers on the 8bitdo dongle, but then I did keep getting linked to FAQs about other 8bitdo controllers which wasn't very helpful. Might be worth having a Google and seeing if there's any resources or maybe having a look on the product page, there might be a software download that allows you to mess around with stuff. If not, maybe just tweet 8bitdo and see if they reply!
I had a look at the manual of the adapter I have which is the magic S pro but I can't see anything about remapping the sticks to the triggers :/ I haven't updated it or downloaded any software for it so idk. I'm pretty sure you can't remap the sticks in the Switch system settings either, just the face buttons. It's annoying because all you really need is to map (assuming it's the) right stick up direction to Right Trigger and right stick down direction to Left Trigger. Should be simple but I guess it's just not something Nintendo thought of when ditching their analog triggers from 3 consoles ago!
Maybe even tweet the Moto GP developer see (if they reply) if they have any suggestions using the set up you've purchased.
Failing all that, maybe you can just sell/return/trade in the adapter and controller without much of a loss as they are in Like New condition. Then again, it might all be worth keeping if you don't have a switch pro controller if you prefer the ergonomics of the Xbox controller over the joy con.
Ah I'm just gutted for you that you bought all that gear, hopefully you can work something out though and I wish you all the best! Do post here if you manage to work something out because I'd be interested to know. I mainly bought my adaptors to mess around with (I tried getting a guitar hero controller to work on the switch with mixed results 😅). Anyway, hopefully someone else has more guidance for ya!
@ralphdibny Thanks so much for your quick and detailed reply!
I've emailed 8Bitdo and can't find a way of getting to motogp20 support without paying for a steam membership... But I don't use twitter, sounds like that would be a good option. I am using the 8Bitdo dongle, which I assumed was the tried and true method of doing this sort of thing. Yeah, if I can't work it out I think i'll just keep it all as a spare pro controller since it seems to work nicely for Mario Kart haha but it's not the immersive motorcycle racing experience that you'd get from the same game on PS4 or Xbox which is a bit annoying since it costs the same! Will update if I can get it to work:)
@JFroggo no problem! Yeah it can be worth having a semi anonymous Twitter account for that sort of thing, companies do tend to respond there (at least in the UK) so they can appear to be "helping" the consumer.
Not sure what you mean about steam unless you mean just buying the game on steam. There's always a bit of a trade off with switch versions of games but I guess you can play it in bed with head phones... Though that damn hd rumble has woken up my girlfriend a few times! 😂
Oh well, maybe 8 bitdo will take on your feedback and make an update for the adapter. I'm guessing a few switch racing games can map the throttle to the right stick so it wouldn't be a wasted feature allowing the user to swap that stick to analog triggers on whatever controller they're using!
@ralphdibny I've posted on their Facebook - they seem to have a good record for responding to people so I'm curious to see what they say:)
Here's what I posted
"Love for the Nintendo Switch?
I bought this game for Nintendo switch - but it doesn't work right without the analogue triggers for accelerate and brake. So I thought I solved the problem by using an Xbox Controller and the 8Bitdo wireless adapter. The Xbox Controller works well - but even though it has the right type of button, the game still only registers 0 or 100% throttle or brakes. This really takes the fun out of it and it's impossible to play on the hard settings without the proper control. Is there a work around??? Feel like I've wasted my money on it:("
@JFroggo heya, I didn't see your reply but I thought I'd randomly check this thread out to see if you'd made any progress.
Super lame of them to delete your post, have you had any luck since then? If they've deleted yours then I do wonder how many people have asked and it's just been deleted, it's probably just not part of their remit, i.e. they're not getting paid to code that feature in
@ralphdibny To be honest I gave up and got a used Xbox to play racing games. Now my Xbox controller won't even work using the 8Bitdo adapter for switch games like mariokart or overcooked:(
