You need an original ROM file, and this here, according to the article.

Perfect Dark with dual analog controls is something I've wanted to exist and now it does! No Mac support though, gonna have to maybe take another look at clearing things out to make room for boot camp.

Both perfect dark and goldeneye had dual analog support on the N64, though only in single player. Was my first experience with dual analog and all my friends thought I was nuts holding two controllers. Then the Ps2 came out w dual stick and we never looked back.

Not sure about Perfect Dark (never played it), but Goldeneye had the control mode where you hold the left and center grips which was quite similar to dual analog. Of course, that was moving with the d-pad instead of moving with an analog stick, so not quite as smooth on the movement front, but it was definitely a step up from the default control scheme while not being quite as unwieldy as using two separate controllers.

Turok had you use the c buttons for movement and the stick to aim. It worked really well, and was functionally dual-analog too.

Holy freakin moley I never knew this, that means I might be able to give it a shot on my mac sometime even without this new port. For anyone else as unfortunate as me that's gaming on an old mac, I found the tutorial for how to set this up by Eggyhead.

There was actually an Xbox 360 port. It's very hard to find as it was only on Live Arcade and it's since been delisted (afaik), but it had updated graphics and native dual analog support. I managed to find a ROM and run it on an X360 emulator a year or so back but have no idea where my files ended up.

It's available in the Rare Replay collection.

[-] didnt_readit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I can link you that XBLA version if you want it again

[-] bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No worries, I have a couple drives I use for archiving stuff like that in case it gets pulled down, so it should be on one of those I'm just too lazy to look😅plus, with this port I'll likely not go back to the emulated version

They borked the analog sensitivity. It's trash.

[-] bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah i do think i heard that was a gripe, again i just toyed around with it long enough to get in game, never really played much
