The ultimate controller box has begun AKA Bliss-Box

This looks like a better way of doing things. problem you will run into with that though is like Intellivision with 16 directions..... So this would take away the reset button on mine or the unplugging and plugging back in issue?

- in response to the global button idea.

No this wont take your rest button away, this is the reset button, so you in affect have it already. Now explain a bit , how would this hurt the 16 directions? The directions wont change any. Up on intelivision will be up on atari, will be up on n64, etc.... So in theory you could use the inteli to play n64, or n64 to play intelevision( with out the #pad). And you could even use a coleco on intelevision but only have 8 directions in that case. Although that is a limitation to the controller.

Thx for the comments and insisting on the intelivsion controller. You are the only one that really did so. I think in the end this will be very helpful to the project. Mainly since I have had no one test it for me. If I ever get the change to have a version 1 for testing I maybe able to crunch the code down and officially add it. I know your sending one, but dont want to keep it on you for any longer then needed.


____update, Again do to Evens inquire I added the atari keypad officially. Do to a resistor ( pull up ) I was able to detect it, so there is no need to hold down buttons and force detection.

AlsoI added vectrex to the list. its does require a db9 adapter do to the choice of pinout it uses. The adapter is simple to make will be drawing it up on my page soon.


And 2.0 has officially started, I have decided to move the global buttons to 2.0 since there are a lot of hid assignment changes and some may not want this. So 1.0 will not have this feature. Also I'm staring to make controllers use FFB, started with psx, the easy one... Stay tuned going to be slow and coming.. Going to work on n64 ruble and mempacks next.

Any updates on V2.0?

[ulaoulao]

Yeah, 2.0 is moving along. Getting closer to FFB working and So far the 2.0 will work as an XBOX but there is a snag in there as well. I also added the ability to now change the controller without needing a reset. When you unplug a controller, it goes in to auto pause mode, then you just plug in the new controller and it will re detect it. With the new button mapping code I added, this would allow you to play with snes, for example, then change it out for an nes in the game.

I have my own forums now, still building it but its ready for posting. Also toying with a Zelda addition finish.
the idea here was to go for a Zelda gold addition. Could not think of a way to put a Zelda logo on there that would not get me in to trouble. Figure it would be hard to claim this is trade marked. If the tri's were gold, than may be.

Also, though it'd be cool to see how one does on ebay Not bad so far..

Just going to update some need info on this thread and unless I get any reply to it, i'll put this one to rest.

2.0 is complete but I'm going to keep it in beta for some time.
FFB is done and working great ( I need a linux user to test it yet )
The XBOX version needed to be on its own platform so there is no switching, either XBOX, 1.0, or 2.0.
Added support for a lot more controllers.

Manny many more changes.
paddles are now back on the menu. I found a way to do this in ave so I dont need to make fag boys boards. INFO
7800 and 5200 are now added. INFO
Saturn is completely refined. Now even supports the wheel.

I know we all have different opinions and such, as we each are entitled to ore own. I ask kindly, let?s keep this post for the people that are interested. There really is no need for ?Oh that?s stupid, just do this?, Or ?Oh that will never happen,

[ulaoulao]

Hi M.afaqanjum228, I'm not sure what reply's you are referring to but I do appreciate the confidence. Of course it is quite a success and certainly does work. That or people like sending me lots of money for nothing ;p

So the day has come.

An old buddy of mine (Raphael Assena) has contacted me about my rumble code. He has set plans to implement this and memory pack reading. The plan is a trade of efforts. In exchange for the rumble code he hopes to work out the mempack reading with me. His idea is a bit different then I originally planned. His idea is to enter a mode at which the data can be read form computer to pack or visa versa. The downfall here is that you need to do this before you use the data. For example before you start the emulators. It would be much like saving you data to a disk and going to a friends house. You then put the data on his system and play... Though the plus is that is can be done via vender requests and no need for mass storage. Also you would be able to use saved data from the n64 this way as well and of course emulator data to n64.

As I said in my P.M I would be more than happy to help out with Website design/Layout. Also I wish to add that this project is awesome, but you already know that. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know (I have to much time).

Had to post these babies.

These are the new in computer drive bay mounts.

I would live to have that! What does it plug into, PCI? USB inside the network card?
