What did this mysterious button do anyways?
Light button, made it easier to find your controller if you dropped it in the dark
>>332134452
It killed youre whore mum.
>>332134452
it analouged
>>332134452
turned off the analog sticks. i dunno why youd wanna do that but yeah...thats what it was for
>>332134596
You are wrong
>>332134452
When I was ten years old Sony didn't release Play Station yet.
>>332134596
Some PS1 games fucked around a bit when the sticks were turned on but other than that I don't think it did anything.
>>332134684
He's actually not though, it literally did turn the analog sticks off. It may have also turned off pressure sensitive buttons but even if that's also true he's still not wrong.
>>332134452
It made the buttons analog/digital
So you could do hard/soft/medium presses
>>332134807
This
>>332134596
this is correct
>>332134452
self explanatory. now THIS button confused me and i was too scared to push it.
>>332134798
I have a ps2. It does nothing to the analog sticks.
>>332134807
What about half A presses?
>>332134952
Do you see an A button on that controller you fucking retard?
>>332134452
It dougs
>>332134948
I do as well and it definitely stops analog stick inputs in every game I have.
>>332135028
You can't do a half x press
>>332135034
Beat me to it.
>>332134945
it speeds up your CPU but back in the day some programs would break if your CPU was running too fast so there was a button to slow it down
>>332134948
I think it depends on the game. A lot of games which depended on the analog sticks wouldn't let you turn it off. Play a really old PS2 game which doesn't use the analog sticks. It'll definitely let you turn them off.
>>332134596
That was for most PS1 games though. There wasn't a point in adding that button again for the PS2 other than backwards compatibility for the PS1

Wrong. It actually slowed the processing speed so older games would be playable at normal speeds. I have no idea why they decided on "turbo" but it definitely did not make things faster.
>>332135265
It mostly stayed on while playing PS2 games, even if you pressed it.
>>332135214
I'm pretty sure it actually slowed down your CPU. You're almost right in that it's so you could get older programs to work, but by default your CPU would run at normal speed. The turbo button, contrary to its name, would actually slow it down.
>>332135214
It actually slows down the CPU for older programs.

Oh I'm sorry, that must be why it says Analog and not A for short on the controller. My mistake.

Depends on the game. I'm pretty sure I never played a game on the PS2 where you could turn them off, but there were plenty on the PS1.

>>332137670
I was always "passed the controller bro" with this shit. It was mediocre, but I got used to it.
>>332137670
I had a controller extremely similar to that one with an additional button in the center. You'd hit the center button to record macros, and the M button to execute it.

PS1 controllers used different software than the later Analoged PS1 and PS2 controllers. Pressing the analog button turned off joystick support which let it register on the older PS1 games.
For example, the first Crash Bandicoot did not support analog sticks and required the light to be off.
The real question is: Were you the kid that played games with the analog sticks or D pad??
I always used the D pad since thats what i grew up with, didnt start using the sticks until shooters became popular.
>that era of games where different shooters had button layouts
>that era of standard tank controls for shooters
>side strafe on the left stick didnt become the standard until call of duty 3
You have 10 seconds to name a PS1 game that used the right stick.

How many games let you play with TWO controllers?
>>332139421
Most Wii games
>>332138803
Resident evil as well
I remember those sticks on my grey ps2 you know the one that played the original spyro and crash. That button was a left over from what I was told.
It was originally supposed to be a soft reset or something like that but people kept hitting it by mistake.
By the time the they noticed it the moulds where already made, so rather than scrap it they just made a button that does literally nothing but light up a small led in the controller.
>>332135884
That only works with the actual console.
>>332140742
Nah, it was answered in the thread. Some games wouldn't work unless it was disabled.
>>332141141
Whoops
>>332141215
Listen to me, I am telling you that it literally does nothing.
I used to work for the company that made the moulds.
It was supposed to be a soft reset until the fuck up.
That's why it wasn't in the later models of playstations (ie 3-4)
>>332139421
was this like a virtua on style game for n64 or something?

That's nice, but Final Fantasy VII won't even fucking work without making sure analog is off.
>>332142227
Goldeneye and Perfect dark had a lot of varied control schemes. Some used twin controllers for dual analog sticks.
>>332136997
Nope turbo underclocked your CPU so older games wouldn't run at crazy speeds it wouldn't make since for your PC to be underclocked at boot now would it
>rekt
>>332142441
I was playing ffvii on my ps4 this morning and the sticks worked just fine... do you even understand the game you're talking about?
So much underage in this thread it's disgusting.
The "turbo" button made it so that holding a button down spammed a repeated input instead of a constant one, i.e. it was for ultra-fast button mashing in games where pressing the button as fast as possible was an advantage. It most certainly did NOT make the fucking system run faster, Jesus Christ.
>>332143432
At least when playing FF7 on PS2 or PS3, you have to turn the sticks off or you can't even move with the d-pad. Not sure how it works with the PS4.
>>332135659

yes, you just told us that the game works fine on the ps4. unfortunately, we're talking about the ps2, so your information is pointless. Fuck off and have a nice day.
>>332144261
No they have it on the psn.
>>332144630

It plays perfectly fine with the sticks I just played it this morning.
>>332143360
>your PC to be underclocked at boot now would it
When you turned your PC on, turbo is on by default. Turbo = normal operating speed. The switch is to literally to step down your processor aka downclock.
>rekt
shut the fuck up dumbass,
>>332135241
If you're playing a game that doesn't use the analog sticks then how do you know they turned off since nothing happened when you used them in the first place?
>>332136184
it was initially going to be a voice chat system for diablo II so people could talk in the lobbys.
The idea was scratched and was just turned into the gemperfect gem activated

are you guys shitting me? I remember always having it on because I thought it would make wing commander and xwing vs tie fighter run faster.
>>332138803
>side strafe on the left stick didnt become the standard until call of duty 3
Currently emulating the very first MoH and there is an option for an fps layout that pretty much your regular modern day fps with aiming and shooting on triggers and with 0 deadzone this shit is actually playable even with easy aiming off.
But yeah, this shit isnt default and in most psx games it look like devs couldnt be arsed to develop a functional analog control scheme.
>>332134945
Yeah, I thought my Pentium 166 would blow up if I pushed it.
>>332145313
Turbo is off at boot. Hit turbo to underclock
Fucking Google dumb ass
>>332134948
Most PS2 games are made so that there are no conflicts with analog sticks, since there weren't non-analog controllers for it.
>>332139421
>opened up my Goldeneye manual for the first time in decades, just this last month.
>saw the two controller scheme
Did anyone even attempt to play this way in the first place? I tried for a little bit on Dam and Facility and couldn't figure out why you'd ever choose it over the basic scheme.
>>332146142
PS1 controllers were compatible.
>>332134691
1984 here they might have?
>>332146071
That's the thing. A lot of pc's at the time (clones included) had varying implementations of the turbo button. And the implementation that made most sense was to have the turbo button set to ON (light on) upon boot to indicate it running at its fastest speed. And I don't need to google it because I had a 2 pcs in the early 90s, a 286 that did not have a switch but instead used key combos and then a 486 with a button.
>>332146492
I tried it back then and it was pretty horrible. Maybe it could be passable for someone who's never played before and doesn't have the muscle memory of the 1.1 or 1.2 schemes.
>>332134945
Its slows the core clock of the CPU to run older games.
>>332134452
In the transition from PSX to PS2 a lot of gamers where accustom to use the digital bottoms since the PSX games used only the digital buttons. So this buttom gave the option to turn off the analog stick and used the digital directional ones as the analog ones.
>>332135940

Not all the time. There were some machines that booted downclocked although rare. see https://youtu.be/p2q02Bxtqds?t=193
>you pressed it and it turned green
This is what I was talking about earlier. Manufacturers had different ways to doing this. Some had the light ON to indicate full speed. Other manufacturers did the opposite. But the fact of the matter is, the turbo button is a toggle. It just made more sense that turbo on = normal speed, it was less confusing.
>>332146507
not for PS2 games tho
>>332143443
You know we're talking about the turbo button on computers right? You're the underage here dumbass.
>>332152196
>tfw you could occasionally tap a button so fast the game thought you cheated so you had to try again a bit slower
>>332134948
yeah most games on PS2 force it to stay lit up and have the sticks used, however if you plug it into a PS1, that will not be the case
>>332150064

>>332138803
You know i never understood why the DS2 didn't just allow both the analog & dpad simultaneously while turning the left analog into another dpad on ps1 games. for the dual-analog ps1 games it could just function normally like it was built.
Was there some kind of super "fuck you" proprietary reason why they couldn't have just built the DS2 like that instead of having to add an analog toggle? .
>>332157009
Probably just taking a mix of complexity, cost and compatability into consideration.
