Developments

"A Quick Test", I said to myself.
"Should only take a few minutes", I thought.

Two hours later, with no result whatsoever, I opted to call it a night, and instead focussed on Beta Collexion.
What was it I wanted to test?
Android, Hopefully compatible with None-OUYA devices, controller code.
First, I needed to test on OUYA itself, so I grabbed the controller, hit the on button, and switched over to HDMI-2.
And waited.
.. and waited...
.... and waited...

Hmm..
Oddly, the OUYA wasn't doing anything.
I checked all the wires, tested all the ports, and reset..
"OUYA!" went the audio.
.. But the picture didn't.
Oh, fucknuts.

No matter, I have other devices.
I switched on the GameStick, grabbed the OUYA controller and hit the Sync button.
.. and waited..
... and waited..
Oh dear god, WTF is wrong with my DevKits, today?

I tried the Forge..
I got the same damn result.. The OUYA and GameStick controllers were flashing away, hopeful to find a bluetooth connection..
But nothing.
Not a squiggle.

I think my house has decided that it doesn't like Bluetooth, or anything resembling it!
And so, to my last remaining useful Android device.
I grabbed the Archos Gamepad, and unplugged it. It flashed it's little lock-screen, and I grabbed my X360 pad, with it's little MicroSD connector.
Nothing.. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING would stop this from working. It has a WIRE.. When something's plugged in, it damn well works!!


I plugged the X360 pad into the Archos Gamepad, and .. The screen went blank.

I hit the power button.
Nada.
Zip.
Zero.

Are you KIDDING me?! Why!? What reason!?!
It can't be the battery, it's been permanently connected..
Maybe I've OVERcharged it?
Is that a thing?1
GAH!!!

*sigh*

At which point I put it back on it's little charger pedestal, put down the X360 controller, and resigned myself to the fact that.. tonight.. I wasn't going to be doing anything with multiplayer controllers..

Maybe next time..

Not Disney

This site seems somewhat upset that the AGameAWeek collection isn't quite up to the greatness of AAA Disney titles.
