namco ps2 arcade stick have idle state
00 00 80 80 FF FF

i'm use latest two bytes FF FF for detect what is connected
may be first time adapter send latest two bytes FF FF?

Raphnet N64/Gamecube to USB adapter - V3

Finally got around to testing this, seems I did mess up somewhere:

N64 Controller:
-'Up' on the stick appears to be set to 'Down'
-'Down' on the stick appears to be set to 'Up' but will change to 'Down' when the stick moves past ~95% of the way towards the outer rim of the controller
-I should have asked for 'N64 Z trigger' to be set to 'DC L trigger' (not sure what I was thinking!)

Gamecube controller:
-'Up' on the stick appears to be set to 'Down'
-'Down' on the stick appears to be set to 'Up' but will change to 'Down' when the stick moves past ~95% of the way towards the outer rim of the controller
-'Right' on the stick registers as 'Left' on the stick when past ~95% of the way towards the outer rim of controller
-Is there possibly a way to get rumble working for this? @Sonik

What's the best way to get the sticks sorted, I can record a video of the values changing as I move the various sticks if that helps. Got to say it's cool to play something like Rayman 2 with the N64 pad!

I made the right stick duplicate the d-pad in standard mode

Thanks again for this. I've built two for simultaneous 360 controller and keyboard and they are working well.

Please could a small amount of dead zone be added to the right analog stick when mapped to the d-pad? This is just to improve the action as it's currently quite twitchy.

Further to this, I tried a PS3 controller today and the Y axis (up down) on the right analog stick (mapped to dpad) is inverted.

Thanks

Hi Megavolt85,

I'm sorry I'm only answering now, but I only have free time at weekends. I think your hypothesis is right. I did some more tests.

The Playstation Arcade Stick Namco has the same VID and PID as the dualshock 2. Concerning the Arcade Stick, the IDLE state is 00 00 80 80 ff ff and the last two bytes are not used.

For the dualshock 2, the IDLE state with analog disabled is also 00 00 80 80 FF FF. When analog is enabled, the last two bytes are used and FF FF disappears. The only exception: if you make a perfect down-right move with the right stick in analog mode.

One solution might be to treat both controllers as analog, but the problem is that in the case of the Arcade Stick, the Dreamcast would act as if a right stick were continuously in the down-right position.

As for the Dualshock 2, it automatically switches to analog after a few seconds in video games.

A functional possibility could be to use the Arcade Stick's behavior (digital) if, at boot time, the last two bytes are set to FF FF. And switch to the Dual Shock 2 (analog) if you run out of FF FF at the end. I don't know if this is possible with your FW ?

In the worst case, you'll have to choose between these two controllers and remove one I think.

Finally put one of these together and can confirm a Logitech M171 wireless mouse works on XDP / Quake 3. Thanks to everyone esp Megavolt! Btw off white/grey version matches DC

Had an idea @megavolt. How about mapping the "Share" button on the Xbox and PS4/PS5 controllers to the screenshot button combo for DreamShell (Start + A + B). Seems like that would be perfect.

Edit: Maybe press and hold the button to take a screenshot would be better. Just to avoid accidental button presses.

It's great my mouse/keyboard works fine and all, but my official xbox 360 controller connected via official usb charger cable doesn't work...Question- can my xbox 360 controller only be connected via xbox 360 wireless adapter? Thanks.

Yes, the wireless 360 controller can only be used wirelessly. The cable is only for charging.

Thanks pcwzrd13. I had a look around and there are not too many official xbox 360 wireless adapters for sale at good prices. Do you know if those cheap 3rd party ones work?

Might be smarter to see if you can find this exact wireless model. In the US it was easy for me with Amazon & Prime. Works great with USB4MAPLE. Everything works as programmed by megavolt85, including rumble, analog triggers & mode switching.
