woohoo! new record!

Argh all this rubbing it in about neGcons and here I can't get hold of one for the life of me (I don't trust Obey after my little Dexdrive incident,) sigh, I'm actually dead interested to see how much better these things actually are

for only a quarter of the price of a dualshock, at the moment anyway, and this guy looks okay:

Hi all,

I've been playing again this weekend and have now got my time down to 17.0 on sargamartha. I've also found a negcon on ebay, so hopefully I can continue to lower my times.

Wish me luck.

Great performance Jetlag if i consider you are playing a D-Pad. With your new Neggy you should progressivly lower your 2097' times with a quite normal adaptation time with it.

Go on fellow Wiper 16s is on your way

.. a quite normal adaptation time ..

and what might that be ??! :roll:

means the time needed to adapte yourself with a new controller.
Personaly it was 1 month, i know Stevie's period was as long as mine.
And that the case of many Negwipers i know.
It's extremely rare to find someone who has tried Neg ( with enough time to use it) and not adopt it definitely :mrgreen:

it may even take very little time to adapt; for myself and at least one of the other WZ members, it took only a few hours at most. i began beating my most recent D-pad records on the same day i got the neG. the neGcon just felt very natural to me; it may be that way for you, too. every person is different; it may depend on how much time you have recently spent racing with the D-pad

it may even take very little time to adapt [...] it may depend on how much time you have recently spent racing with the D-pad

Do you mean it's easier or harder to adapt when you haven't been playing with the D-Pad a lot? The first would definitely be true for me. I hardly ever played any WO for records until a year ago, then bought a negcon and didn't want to go back from the minute I hit the track, same as you. But then, as I said, I haven't been playing much before that.

it could work either way. a lot of play with D-pad could groove you too much into that pattern that might be hard to break. on the other hand, depending on your own nature, recent heavy practice might make you hyperaware of the differences and make it easier to change behaviour

I sure hope so
