Gamecube or N64 Controller to USB adapter circuit

Product Description:
Nintendo 64 and Gamecube controllers are excellent controllers which are quite appropriate for many PC games. With this circuit, you can easily modify a controller or build a cable which can connect a Gamecube or Nintendo 64 controller to a PC equipped with an USB port.

Supported controllers:

• Standard Gamecube controllers (Official and 3rd party)
• Wireless Gamecube controllers (Known to work with Nintendo's Wavebird and an Intec controller)
• Gamecube Dance mats (Opposite directions supported)
• N64 Controllers (Official, and most 3rd party, including the Hori Mini)
• Should support all accessories acting as a standard N64 or GC controller.
• New!: Vibration function/rumble supported! Tested with project64 and dolphin. (since adapter firmware 2.1)

Not supported:

• N64 Memory cards
• Simultaneous use of a N64 controller and Gamecube controller on the same adapter.

System requirements:
The firmware auto-detects which type of controller (Gc or N64) is connected. On the PC side, no custom drivers are needed. It works fine with Windows (2K/XP/Win7 32&64 bit), Linux and MacOS X. It should also work with other operating systems supporting USB and HID joysticks. Vibration only tested on Windows with project64 and dolphin.
