Great post. Over of my favorite game hacks is players who carve out their controllers in games that don't clamp magnitude. Let's them move faster in diagonals.

- donatj 10y agoHah, I was not aware of this. Goldeneye 64 however using the C buttons to walk you could walk diagonally much more quickly and you get used to going everywhere at an angle.
- bitwize 10y agoQuake was like this as well. When the walk and strafe keys were held it would set xvel and yvel both to the base walking speed (or its negative) resulting in faster diagonal movement. The correct approach would be to multiply them by √2/2 if diagonal movement is commanded, so that the magnitude of the velocity is the base walking speed.
- memco 10y agoAnother trick, which can be used in some games such as Doom 64, is to reset the neutral position such that down is neutral, so up is 2x speed.
- webkike 10y agoYou can do this with a lot of gamecube games because the system would set to default what ever values the system was receiving at bootup; turned out to be a great way to avoid costs by having different manufactures make the controllers
