My favourite WTF regarding the N64 controller was that it apparently re-zeroed the center point on startup but didn't monitor the range of readings in any way.

My favourite WTF regarding the N64 controller was that it apparently re-zeroed the center point on startup but didn't monitor the range of readings in any way. So in some games you could speed hack by holding the joystick downwards/backwards on startup and and generate faster-than-100% run speeds.
- vinnymac 5y agoI find this very interesting, do you have any sources you can share, related to this, where I could read more?
- taneq 5y agoUnfortunately not, it was just something I remember hearing/reading about back when N64s were somewhat relevant... I've had a look around but I can't find anything to back it up so maybe it was just an urban legend.
- mbreese 5y agoI remember the centering as a problem, but never thought about exploiting it in a game. I am very disappointed with me from 20 years ago.
