The ultimate controller box has begun AKA Bliss-Box

[ulaoulao]

i dont know if its a bit late for suggestions, but would it be possible to like, use a gamecube controller on say, a dreamcast emulator? or would you have to go out and buy the controllers for each port?

- Yup Like Genome said I commented on that. back 5 posts (counting this one) up. I'm planning on implementing that as well. Not quite as easy to go usb to Xcontroler, but its my goal.

and if there is you can use any controller with any emulator. the controllers arent hard wired into the emulator. its fully customizable. in fact i often use my usb nes controller to play mario 64.

- I think he means to use a nes on a n64 console for example.

- Yes the tut's are here, and I wont miss a step. http://bliss-box.net/blissbox/

Please anything you wish to comment or add do so. I don't believe one person has all the answers or ideas. To me it is about co-op. Aside from a little glitch things have been moving nicely.

Oh Genome, here is a quick check list so far.

psx, n64, GC, sega 3-6 button and master-system, Atari, nes, snes. And posibly more, but I have not tested them since I done own the controllers.

great to hear ulaoulao.

Ok update:
I put the info about burning on my site so refer to http://bliss-box.net/blissbox/
under the walkthru section for detail.


I talk to the guy that made all this possible about adding a few controllers and that I was going to try to make Saturn work, he said this.

Sega Saturn? I'm planning to support them too. Right now,
I'm waiting for a pair of controllers to arrive. I will soon
start coding and testing. I think the code will be similar to the
one needed for Genesis, but without support for older non-genesis
controllers and 3/6 button auto-detection hell.

He also goes on to mention the psx code.

So I'm gong to start on DC


ps, if any one has a Saturn 3d controller they are willing to send to me for testing please PM me. I want to support the analog also.

just a quick update on the progress.

most cable ends are moving along, few snags on the hard ones.

working controllers
xbox
usb
nes
sens
psx
n64
gc
atari
sega 3-6 button (saturn looking promising)

Looks like tg-16 and duo will work fine. but I dont have the controllers to test with yet. Also the 3d sega should work, that one is on its way. coleco controllers are on there way and I dont have intely yet.

trouble with DC and sega saturn ends, may use ext cables (makes over all cost hight)

Also note I can make a costum adapter with any of the know working above, just PM me if interested....


also here is a look at the front half of the adapter..

I think I just found gold..

For now, the project is continuing, and soon ill post Genome panel pics.

I just wound a way to get any controller to work on any system. A project a guy has been working on. His design was to use an arcade stick on any system, well I'm able to piggy back on his device. So.. this means any controller on any system.

If you want to use a snes on n64, you could (granted missing a few buttons) or dream cast on nes (if you wanted to ).. Or so is would seem.. Also he says he can configure buttons on the fly, how i dont know yet..
