USB pads in, classic consoles out. ✨
Reads USB gamepads—both standard HID and the non-HID oddballs (Xbox 360 / Xbox One / PS3 / Switch Pro)—and converts them to non-USB console ports.
Today’s demo target: Sega Saturn. Hot-swap ready: plug, swap, play.
Two board options, same features:
• 8-bit AVR @16 MHz — lean and retro.
• RP2040 — dual-core headroom.
Same protocol stack; flash the build you need.
Born from my 2017 design, rebuilt for 2025.
Firmware rewritten from scratch: hand-rolled protocols, HID + non-HID support, pairing/LED behaviors preserved, all waveforms verified on real hardware.
PS4/PS5 via HID? Yes. 360/One/Switch Pro via custom stacks? Also yes.
Firmware will be open-source (code + builds + docs) so you can remix, extend, and keep it updated.
Photos/videos show live hot-swaps and Saturn gameplay with proper LED cues.
