M2 ShotTriggers DDP Daioujou Rinne Tensei

Thanks all for the replies.

hamfighterx, that doesn't sound good.
You don't happen to have Garegga or Ketsui to try with your PS3 stick? Both of those work with my PS3 stick on PS4 and PS5.

If playing DOJ on PS5:
- PS3 sticks do not appear to work, at least not without some sort of adapter. I just tested my PS3 Madcatz TE (v1), as well as a Hori RAP Premium-VLX. Neither are recognized and I don't see any kind of legacy controller support option.
- PS4 sticks do work for PS4 games played on a PS5. Also just confirmed that for DOJ with a PS4 Madcatz TE2.

Someone else would have to confirm DOJ support for PS3 sticks when playing on a PS4 (but IIRC that works fine).

The Qanba Crystal arcade stick has support for both the PS3 and PS4 so it works just fine with the M2 port of DDP-DOJ running on the PS4 console (with the Crystal arcade stick switched to PS3 mode and also in PS4 mode as well as it's primarily designed as a PS4 arcade stick from the get-go).

I do, in fact I have every PS4 ShotTriggers and Toaplan Arcade Garage release and just tested them all with my PS3 Madcatz TE (a true PS3 stick, I've had it since before the PS4 even existed). I have some bad news: it appears that since 2020, M2's releases no longer support using a PS3 stick on a PS5 system.

The early games in the ShotTriggers series DO support it, my PS3 stick works fine on all of:
Battle Garegga (2016)
Dangun Feveron (2017)
Mahou Daisakusen (2017)
Ketsui (2018)
Esp.ra.de (2019)

And then 2020 hits, and the PS5 was released in November. My PS3 stick is not recognized on any of M2's STG/TAG games released after that point. I'm guessing it's probably a Sony requirement that was implemented once PS5 launched. Tested:

Aleste Collection (December 2020) - not working
Teki Paki (2021) - not working
Kyukyoku Tiger Heli (2021) - not working
Hishou Same! Same! Same! (2022) - not working
Zero Fire (2023) - not working
Daioujou Rinne Tensei (2023) - not working
Bonus: also popped in M2/Taito's Ray'z Arcade Chronology (2023)... not working

I no longer have a PS4 system, so unfortunately can't test what happens with a PS3 stick on PS4. I know for a lot of fighting games, legacy controller support was required to be included by the developer - and a lot of them did it, mostly using Lab Zero's drivers that they created and gave away for free. But not all PS4 fighters did support PS3 sticks, Dragon Ball Fighterz was a notable example of one that did not.

Worth noting that there ARE adapters that will allow you to play with legacy controllers on a PS5, like the Brooks Wingman: https://www.brookaccessory.com/products ... index.html

Thank you for your heroic effort - really appreciated.

So I'm definitely going to have issues on the PS5 but I might be ok on the PS4 based on PC Engine Fan X!'s findings.

What kind of stick are you using? There were a lot with hybrid PS3/PS4 support once the PS4 existed, so that might be a saving grace for you. And as I just edited to sneak into my last post, if you have a particular stick you're really fond of, there are low lag converters like those from Brook that should do the job.

It's a RAP V3-SA, so PS3 vintage.

I had thought about a board adapter, but for using on a Switch.

Thanks for your help

FWIW, this discussion inspired me to pick up the Brook FGC adapter for PS5, honestly probably more for PS5 fighting games than anything. But can confirm it works great with DOJ too, recognized my PS3 sticks just fine (might need to update firmware on the adapter first, which is simple).

Works well with X360 sticks too, did a credit with 360 Hori RAP-SE and that worked great. That will probably be my go-to going forward, living that Seimitsu life.

[mrsmr2]

That's also good to know.

Very jealous of your M2 collection as well.

M2 released a patch to update Switch port of DDP-DOJ RT to version 1.4.0 today, 6-05-2024. What's the latest 411 with this newest patch?

Nothing to get too excited about

Fixed an issue where the GOLD AWARD could not be obtained in the ROUND 2 STAGE 2 BOSS area of ​​ARCADE CHALLENGE mode, even if the conditions for obtaining the award were met in the case of LASER enhancement and EXPERT enhancement.

As an update to my controller compatibility question, I can confirm that my RAP V3-SA does not work with DOJ when running on my PS4 . (The same situation with the PS5 - as we know already know from hamfighterx's awesome research).

This is with version 1.00 straight from the disk version.

Edit: full marks to Amazon Japan. This and Ketsui (wanted physical as well) arrived in just 2.5 days to the UK.
