Sorry if this has already been posted, but can you buy these pre-assembled?

Would it be possible to allow for the memory cards to be stored on an SD card (or micro SD card) instead of USB if the SD card was present? It would be really nice to add an SD card module to the RP2040 board instead of having a USB hub.

Thanks again for this device- I've made 3 of them so far and they work great!

Also, would it be possible to add support for GunCon2/other light guns in a future update?

no, it is not possible to support a light gun on the rp2040, there is no free space for this in the PIO module

Would it be possible to allow for the memory cards to be stored on an SD card (or micro SD card) instead of USB if the SD card was present?

no, RP2040 does not have a hardware SDIO interface, and PIO modules are already occupied by the MAPLE interface, connecting an SD card via SPI will lead to input lag

Oh, I assumed the memory card data was buffered in memory- I’m impressed that it’s fast enough to do direct reads and writes! Maybe the new RP2350 will eventually be able to do SDIO in the additional PIOs.

@megavolt85 first of all, congrats for your project, its very nice!!
So.. I have some controller and I would like to help you sending logs, but i don't undestand how I can get It.
I'm using a rp2040 zero em a arduino UNO to use serial port.
RP2040 0 pin, i connected in TX-1
GND in GND

i'm using your debug firmware on my rp2040 and i'm using the PUTTY software to try get the logs.
Can you or someone help me to configure it and get the logs?
TKS.

Howdy folks, just got one of these wired up. Works good with the controllers listed as compatible. I have some others that I would love to be able to use with it, here are the VID and PID for them, let me know if there's other information I can provide.

USB\VID_3537&PID_1004 it comes up as a 360 controller in Windows. Edit: This works when set to d-input mode. Terrific!

I am very new to this, and this is actually my first post on this forum, so I apologize if I have provided any incorrect or negligible info that makes this post more of a hindrance than a help. This adapter is awesome, thank you for your hard work on it!!!

So it is deep in the thread. But I have had luck with the Brook Wireless fight board in PS3 and PS4 mode. And the Brook Fusion board in Xbox mode. So, in theory It should work with one of the protocols on the PS3 / PS4 / PC board, though I would definitely try all of them.

Do I need connect the cable on dreamcast to get the log, or I can get the log only adding the debug firmware in the rp2040 and connecting it with arduino UNO?
