I went with those 8bitdo Bluetooth snes pads since these days wireless is needed for the convenience. Very good pads im impressed with 8bitdo. I may get the megadrive versions they have. Think it's the M30

Using an ESP32 board you can build your own wireless interface for original controllers but, with all wireless controllers you increase the input lag somewhat. I might have a go at building one next as I have a few ESP32 lying around.

I am really looking forward to Parodius from the Konami bunch. I would like to play Sunset Riders as well.

you can play sexy parodius on the saturn core now, its brilliant.

Ah yeah, I might check that out. I installed the Saturn core yesterday. Quite impressed with the progress that has been made so far.

out off interest has anyone managed to get revenge of doh working, i get an error saying coin overflow when i try to start it.

I’ve been working on a new concept called MiSTer DASH. The idea is to have the DASH in front of your TV with only ONE cable and the MiSTer itself is hidden behind the TV etc

This is the best way I could think of to de clutter my CRT setup as the VGA to SCART lead is pretty hefty!

Features
2 Port SNES Daemon adapter
2 Port USB Hub
4 Programmable RPi Pico Keyboard buttons

The design is based on the Capcom CP Game changer

thats pretty cool, great idea!

If you could develop it and at the front have a ttyoled display to show the core i think you could do extremely well with it though id certainly pick up something like that without it.

Thanks I'll look in to the ttyoled and get one ordered!

Edit/ Just been doing some reading on the ttyoled and Venice recommends to use a powered USB hub, which then defeats the whole ONE cable ethos. I'm already going to have a Raspberry Pi Pico and Arduino Pro micro (powering up to two 5v SNES pads) connected, I'm not sure the 500mA from the MiSTers USB port is going to be enough for another Arduino and OLED display. In theory you could also connect another two SNES or Megadrive pads through an external DaemonBite adapter too.

I'll have to do some testing but it might not work.

you could always just hot glue a little power cable to the main cable for the display.

Final design before starting the print tomorrow, out of curiosity would anyone else be interested in something like this? I'm thinking of doing another one similar to the front of a SNES.

 

[JoeBoi]

These look awesome. I might be interested, more so in other original adapters (PS1). I only have one original SNES controller, the rest of mine are wireless 2.4 8bitdo ones, either plug them in via USB or use a SNAC adapter for the dongle.

Zaf, you seem really handy with this sort of work. I could do with your skills to make an adapter to use my Sinden Lightgun on my original PS1!

I can try and help, have you got any more info, links to existing adapter designs etc?

Thanks Zaf, it is nothing fancy. More a case of crimping wires for an arduino.

 

[Zaf]

Ready for wiring up tonight…





I need to recalibrate my printer and make a few tweaks to the design but it will do for now as a functional prototype

Ive been playing a couple of new C64 games on the mister over this week. Zeta Wing 2 and a Pigs Quest.

A Pig Quest :: Protovision - High Quality C64 Entertainment Software

A Pig Quest is a Commodore 64 Game.

Zeta Wing 2 (C64) by SarahJaneAvory

A vertical SHMUP for the C64

I had to use the C128 core to get a Pigs Quest to load, well worth giving them a go if you like the C64 core.
