:bouncy:I have a Logitech rumblepad 2 and a Cordless rumblepad 2

The rumble strength of the standard is far greater than the cordless which I suppose is because the cordless uses batteries and they scaled down the motors to compensate to make battery life longer.

I have rumble strength turned up to 100% in n-rage plugin and 150% in Logitech's control panel and I'm still not satisfied. It still feels relatively weak in my opinion. I wish there was a program or a hack to increase it even more. I've been googling for such a thing which I'm sure doesn't exist.

I know one thing is that Jabo's Directinput supports rumble but only in a few games with erratic inaccurate timings(most have constant rumble throughout game,,real screwwy). But the thing is that the rumble strength is so much stronger with Jabo versus N-rage except that N-rage supports rumble in all games accurately at the cost of strength.

So I wish two things, one that Jabo would finish the rumble emulation in his plugin in future version of pj64 and another that n-rage would come back to working further on his plugin as well. It makes me rather sad to see such work being done on the emulator itself and perhaps little on 3rd party plugins.

We should be gratefull we can even play N64 games on our PC. But yes a improved rumble feature would be nice. I can't get rumble to work at all with my N64 USB Control adapter. But really it's a very insignificant issue. I would much rather have PJ64 like it is (about 98% Compatible with every game i have tried) than have it 70% compatible with full rumble support.
