Superpad 8 Control Pad Nov 30, 2010 11:45:40 GMT

I love this controller for SHMUPS as the turbo button is excellent for cracking much, much more shots off. Especially for Darius Gaiden as the shoot button is only for shooting bullets (not like Strikers 1945 I and II for example, where it also doubles up as a hold-down button for a charged weapon).

Anyway, my question is – What is the switch on the back of the controller for? There is a picture of someone sprinting, so you would think ‘Oh, more Turbo’, but when you select it, It just constantly pauses and un-pauses the game?

That's "slow-motion". Basically it's turbo pause. By rapidly pausing and upausing, it will make the game appear to run in slow motion... Really it's just a cheap gimmick that a lot of 3rd party controllers have. Just another feature to slap on the box. It's pointless really.
