News It meows now!

I don’t have a video unfortunately, but I randomly tried throwing my controller and it made a MEEOOOWW noise instead of the wilhelm scream! Must’ve been a new update :) I think I’m the first to document this?? Pretty cool either way.

Try it out!

Working on it. There is some empty space on the MCU where you can write your own jingle and just need to change the pointer. I got a backup script up first. I will upload the rest, when I find some time. ADHD is giving me a hard time staying focused on one project at the time :) you can even play a WAV file

What are you talking about? That's already a thing.

Edit: I think I might have misinterpreted your comment cuz I was just thinking how you can change the startup sound I don't think you can add a custom one yourself.

You can't change the startup on a sc26, only the sc15.

Wtf really?

It is for the old controller, not the new one. I liked the portal startup sound on the old one, would love to put it on the new one

Try dropping it from a second story window and see if it lands on its feet now!

Same, My daughter also has a Sc26 and she did manage. I dropped mine on the couch way harder. Will update after a night's rest and see if our cats react.

Edit: still nothing!😅 Mine just refuses to feel despair. Kid's controller did the new cat yell, But also the willhelm scream still a second time. There seems to be some cooldown period inbetween drops triggering a yell.
