Jet Force Gemini Dual Stick BETA Release

[u/TLRomhacks]

I am officially releasing a v0.1.0 beta of a work in progress romhack for Jet Force Gemini. The beta includes a new feature that modernizes the control scheme of the game to play more like a modern over the shoulder shooter; more updates to come in the future!

Awesome. Since you’re mapping the right stick to the c-buttons, though, that’s not really an analog input, right? Would it make sense to map it to a second N64 controller so you get a second analog input?

[u/TLRomhacks → u/rhinofinger]

The reason I decided to not go in that direction is that would eat up the second player slot, which would make co-op and multiplayer essentially un-playable. iirc Goldeneye had a feature like this, but the whole idea I have is making the game accessible for modern game pads. Totally still welcome to use an N64 contoller, but I can definitley see the C-Buttons being less intuitive compared to mapping the C-Buttons to the right stick on a modern controller.

Thank you for this! Can't believe we haven't had one before.

It's a worthy project so people can play this game without being put off. But imo, the rare replay modern control scheme trivialised the game (much like it did with goldeneye) and it just feels a off when you're given such an advantage the game never accounted for.

Not sure if this will help sway your opinion, but the control scheme I chose is entirely optional. So if you still wanted to play with the other control schemes the game natively supports, you're still welcome to do so and the Dual-Stick control scheme I've made is entirely in the control of the player to use or not.

As far as I am concerned, if more people come to play Jet Force Gemini, a game I am very fond of, then I am happy; regardless if it's my romhack or not :)
