USBtoN64v2

Utilizes STM32F446 on a Nucleo-F446RE with custom header or on a fully custom board for usb and n64 communication.

In this repository, you can find the latest version of the source code (TrueSTUDIO), 3D case (.stl), and PCB (Eagle .brd and .sch) files.

Currently supported USB devices:

• Keyboard
• Dualshock 3 Sixaxis
• Dualshock 4 v1 (with help from Kazon Wilson [kwilson21]) and v2
• Wireless Xbox 360 with Microsoft USB wireless receiver
• Wired Xbox 360
• Wired Xbox One

Setting the controls:

1. Press the blue button on the Nucleo or the only button on the custom PCB. A new green LED (light) should light up solid when you go into "set controls" mode, and it should turn off when you finish setting the controls correctly.
2. Press the buttons in the appropriate order depending on which device is plugged in. For Xbox and PS, you also need to set range and deadzone. Please see below for instructions.
3. (optional) Press the same button again at any time to exit “set controls” mode early if you make a mistake.

Xbox / Playstation:

DPAD_UP, DPAD_DOWN, DPAD_LEFT, DPAD_RIGHT, BUTTON_START, BUTTON_B, BUTTON_A, C_UP, C_DOWN, C_LEFT, C_RIGHT, BUTTON_L, BUTTON_R, BUTTON_Z

Next you set your RANGE. It starts at 100 by default. Up (+) and Down (-) on the D-pad will increase or decrease the range by 5. Right (+) and Left (-) on the D-pad will increase or decrease the range by 1. The range cannot be greater than 100 or less than 0. When you are done, hit "A" on the Xbox controller or "X" on the Playstation controller to move on.

Next you set your DEADZONE. It starts at 20 by default. Up (+) and Down (-) on the D-pad will increase or decrease the deadzone by 5. Right (+) and Left (-) on the D-pad will increase or decrease the deadzone by 1. The deadzone cannot be greater than 100 or less than 0. When you are done, hit "A" on the Xbox controller or "X" on the Playstation controller. Congratulations, you are done configuring your controls!

KB:

A_UP, A_DOWN, A_LEFT, A_RIGHT, DPAD_UP, DPAD_DOWN, DPAD_LEFT, DPAD_RIGHT, BUTTON_START, BUTTON_B, BUTTON_A, C_UP, C_DOWN, C_LEFT, C_RIGHT, BUTTON_L, BUTTON_R, BUTTON_Z

Note that the device saves the controls even when the device is powered off. It saves the Xbox and Playstation controls together as a shared layout and the Keyboard controls separately.

Updating the firmware:

Nucleo (Prototype consisting of 2 connected boards)

Plug the device into a PC with a USB mini B cable, and drag&drop a .bin firmware file.

v2 (one board in a case distributed only after 09/2018)

The v2 has a switch with two possible positions: "ON" or "1" (which is qutie confusing if you ask me).

• The switch should be set to "1" for normal operation.
• The switch should be set to "ON" for firmware upgrade.
• The switch should be never be flipped while the device is powered to "ON" for firmware upgrade.

So, first fip the switch to "ON". Plug the device into a PC with a USB mini B cable, and it should show up as a USB DFU device. Use the "DfuSeDemo" software provided by STMicroelectronics to update the firmware with a .dfu file. The "Dfu file manager" software is also provided alongside the "DfuSeDemo" by STMicroelectronics. Then, unplug the device from the PC. Finally, flip the switch back "1".

TODO:

• Complete LED support for PS4 (currently non-functional)
• Re-design PCB (and case) to be significantly smaller (in progress)

Currently known bugs:

• None!

Gamecube support - ALPHA

Gamecube support is currently in the experimental phase.

• If the data line and ground lines of a Gamecube cable are connected to the adapter, it should function.
• If BOTH N64 and Gamecube cables are attached, the device should be able to automatically detect which console is being used. The unused cable MUST be unplugged for proper functionality.
• Only XBOX controllers are currently supported.
• The controls are currently static and mimic the Gamecube controller layout.
• The sensitivity and deadzone are "borrowed" from the N64 controller settings.
• GC(X) / XBOX(B) button is currently un-mapped due to Rainshifter's preferences for bug testing.
