I have held off commenting on this for some time now, thinking it's a result of the buttons I'm using on the icade, but tonight I've confirmed that it's not something to do with the buttons:
Pro Pinball has approx 200ms lag between when the icade button is pressed vs. when the flipper reacts to that input. This is on ipad air, where the game runs perfectly smoothly.
This has been throwing my game off so much playing on the icade that I eventually gave up on it and reverted to touch screen. I thought that getting better buttons with better microswitches would resolve this, and once I've got them, I've measured (using sound recording) the time between the 'click' in the microswitch vs. the 'chonk' sound produced by the game when the flipper moves up: 200+ms. This is a ridiculously high input lag, and something I hope you guys can fix.
I didn't record the input lag while playing Pinball Arcade using icade, but just playing it, it feels much, much less, practically unnoticeable. Pinball Arcade is perfectly playable using icade, in fact, it's better played that way. Pro Pinball on the other hand is practically unplayable on it.
Does anyone have an experience wih MFI controllers? Does the game also feel laggy playing with them?
