Great enclosure! Would it be possible to upload a version that does not have the Dreamcast Live logo as well? Maybe a blank one or a regular Dreamcast swirl?
Yeah, it won't have a logo on it.

As for steering wheels, there is nothing in the HID protocol that would indicate that it is the steering wheel that is connected, which means there is no way to enable the correct mode for DseamCast, you can link by VID and PID, but then support will be limited to specific models
I get it.
Yeah it would require using specific VID:PID and will limit device usage. Most logitech wheels starts in compatibility mode with a fixed VID:PID. Supporting it will cover most of the wheels.
If you ever want to add support for it, here's my code (it's an logitech to ogXbox adapter)

On another topic:
If I make an adapter that outputs usb like a x3630/ps3 controller, that adapter should work on your adapter, right?
EDF! EDF! EDF!

My custom enclosure is now available for download from Printables! :-) https://www.printables.com/model/840316 ... e-by-megav

There's no logo on the model itself. It's just in the picture.

yes, but it will be detected as a regular joystick, and not as a steering wheel

Just thought of a cool idea. Worms World Party has a weird quirk where you can only chat in-game if you play using a keyboard (it has to be in port A). You can swap the controller and keyboard mid-game if you want to chat but it's not ideal. Would it be possible to plug in a controller and keyboard at the same time to port A with a splitter and switch between them by pressing a specific key on the keyboard?

I know this is a weird and very specific feature request but if it's not too difficult, it would be really cool.

this is the cheapest USB HUB, I bought one at the FixPrice store out of curiosity and it works without problems :)

When I saw your enclosure I was thinking 2 or 4 of those together would be some nice, especially if they practically touch eachother

The orange with the logo looks great!

My PS3 dev kit controller works with this! That's hilarious considering it doesn't work with an actual PS3! :lol:
