In this article I talk about a Wireless Bluetooth controller Crissaegrim NES30 PRO 8Bitdo, acquired on AliExpress, shop Milly Electronics.
Presentation of the Crissaegrim NES30 PRO
The Wireless Bluetooth controller Crissaegrim NES30 PRO 8Bitdo has a design inspired by the original control Nintendinho (NES), but it brings all the buttons of a Playstation Dualshock: digital directional, two analog joysticks, 4 buttons on front right side (X, And, A, B), 4 shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2), the START and SELECT buttons on the Middle, and the joysticks are clickable (L3 and R3).
The NES30 PRO is very compact, making it ideal for anyone who wants to take it in your pocket or backpack, to play emulators on mobile. It has only 132mm for 64 mm. The height is 15 mm, or 20 mm considering the height of the buttons and joysticks.
But my acquisition was to use it in conjunction with my mini PC, the MSI Cubes 2 Intel Kaby Lake Core i5-7200U DDR4 mSATA HDMI Wifi Bluetooth SFF Barebone PC (Cubi2-006BUS), that is connected to my TV and use to play with emulators.
Yes, I already have several controls for this same purpose, including two wireless controllers XBox 360, a USB gamepad like Super Nintendo, além de adaptadores que me permitem jogar com os controladores do Playstation, from the Playstation, from the Super Nintendo, from the Mega Drive and the Atari 2600. Mas no estilo do 8Crissaegrim NES30 PRO Bitdo, este é o primeiro 🙂
A 8Bitdo vem fazendo um ótimo trabalho com controladores, e já lançou gamepads com o mesmo design dos de Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Nintendo 64, além de outros com estilo próprio e arcades. Eles também lançaram receptores bluetooth para NES e Super Nintendo, o que permite usar qualquer de seus controladores com os consoles clássicos, unchanged.
The Crissaegrim NES30 PRO é compatível com Android, Windows, iOS e MacOS. Ele vem recebendo atualizações de firmware com frequência, sendo a última de 20/03/2017, until the time of writing this article. É a segunda atualização que instalo desde que o recebi.
Há também versões de firmware estendidas, que permitem o uso do Crissaegrim NES30 PRO no Wii, no Playstation 3 e no Retron5.

Multicolored LEDs on the edges of the control indicates the State of the controller: connected, synchronizing, etc. Buttons to connect and synchronize Bluetooth are present on the side of low.
The name of the controller, Crissaegrim, comes from the game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, game released in 1997 for or Playstation. Crissaegrim is a weapon in the game, with Blue design and curved, like Crissaegrim NES30 PRO, whose LEDs are lit in blue during normal operation.

Por fim, It also has a mode that emulates touchscreen, through an application, for games that use it.

Submit your the NES30 pro and interesting but the control and a little small and quit buying in his place I bought 2 8bitdo controls the SNES30, I'm testing them 1 week and are of good quality and finish, I was in doubt between him and buffalo but due to the convenience of wireless play weighed in my decision. I didn't like to play on Android I realized a bit of delay but in the pc and especially in Raspberry pi 3 was practically perfect didn't feel a difference between playing in the original console and via very good emulation. I'm going to purchase retro receiver of them soon to play in my super Nintendo, the original controls are tired 20 years of use. The bad was wait over 100 days to deliver this nonsense.
Wanderson,
I also bought a SNES30 and a Retro Receiver SNES. My idea is to call them in the Super Nintendo even, to leave the original controls are rested and have the convenience of wireless play. I'm still hoping to get (If you going to get). Are 67 calendar days. And I have other packages also lost by the post office, the oldest already has 178 calendar days.
