USB4MAPLE adapter

[MoeFoh]

I know this isn't the goal of the project, but are there any plans for an offshoot that just simulates the VMU with an rp2040? For us who prefer using original wired Dreamcast controllers.

There's so many cheap corruption prone memory cards that could be repurposed this way.

the last time i spoke to megavolt about this project and i talked to him about that and his plan at the time was to make a vmu style version dedicated to just saves, haven't asked him about it recently to see if that's still his plan

Something like this?

It was just a matter of time before we would see the usb4maple on AliExpress.

I use the 4 port BlueRetro with usb4maple without issue, any combination of ports, works just fine.

There wasn’t really any mention of USB4Maple draining power from the controller board in general.

because usb4maple does not вraining many power.
here are three options for your problem:
1) RetroTime consumes too much power
2) the device you connected to usb4maple consumes too much power
3) the fuse on the controller board dies of old age and needs to be replaced

fixed all buttons and axes mode for xbox360 controller and added oled display support
I2C display 0.96" 128x64 on ssd1306 controller.
theoretically 1.3" 128x64 display on SH1106 controller should work.
VCC should be connected to 3v3, GND to GND, SDA to GP26, SCL to GP27

don't be afraid to connect a 1.3 inch display, it will work anyway, the picture might be shifted a few pixels to the right and there might be garbage in the unused area, but in any case I'll fix it when I get these displays.
P.S. I accidentally ordered a 0.96 inch display, it's very small, although it looks cool, but 1.3 inches will be much better

Should be able to try out the new firmware with oled 0.96 by Saturday cause oled should be here tomorrow can't wait then of to order 1.3 inch oled next week and even a 1.5 inch one so I can see which one I like better
