How to do microphone? --Zzo38 19:18, 16 September 2012 (MDT)

Nevermind I found it on the other page it says $4016 bit2 is microphone. --Zzo38 19:19, 16 September 2012 (MDT)

It says "all subsequent reads will return D=1 on an authentic controller but may return D=0 on third party controllers", and what happen on Super Nintendo controllers? --Zzo38 17:50, 27 September 2012 (MDT)

After the first eight bits, the Super NES controller returns A, X, L, R, four zero bits, then all 1. --98.226.71.46 18:22, 27 September 2012 (MDT)

Official controllers have the correct 8 bits, then all 1s. Couldn't you detect the absence of a bit deletion by seeing if the 8th bit is 0 and the 9th bit is 1? This only works while right is not pressed, but ... —Lidnariq (talk) 12:12, 8 February 2013 (MST)

Reading 9 bits to skip rereading if Right is not held could work provided that you're sure that the user isn't using a Four Score, an official Super NES controller, or an unlicensed controller that has all 0s after its report. The Four Score and Super NES controller have longer reports (24-bit and 16-bit respectively), but these reports likewise end with a transition from 0 to 1. In any case, in games that don't use players 3 and 4, it'd be quicker just to re-read than to look for the Four Score signature. --Tepples (talk) 13:34, 8 February 2013 (MST)
