Posted by NeoGutsman on August 08, 2015 at 01:29:57 EST in reply to Oh wow, that's unfortunate. I can console myself a bit (and on the go) with the NeoGeo Humble Bundle I bought recently. Android versions of lots of good SNK arcade fun. Touch screen controls are abysmal as as expected, but most of them seem to have the ability to recognize controllers (Beast Busters KOF is strictly touchscreen only, but that makes sense). I have an OTG adapter for Android so I'll give the controllers a whirl on my phone and eventually my Kindle HD. from NeoGutsman.
Wow, Garou and KoF'98 work relatively well with a USB gamepad via OTG adapter. The SNES clone pad I have has a really stiff d-pad which made moving and specials hard to pull off but it was fairly responsive otherwise (I have a Bubbalo USB SFC controller which I can't find right now and which has a great d-pad, grrr). I had trouble with my iBuffalo gamepad being recognized. The X and Y buttons are reversed (XY on top row, BA on bottom) and I couldn't assign them properly in the games' configs. Too bad as that's a great pad for PC games (ones that use digital controls). Anyway, worth the price so far.
If you missed out on this Humble Bundle, don't worry. These games are often on sale for $0.99 on the Google Play store and I think directly via DotEmu. Fun to mess around with if you have the controller and adapter to pair it with.
