Description

This circuit makes it possible to use a Virtual Boy controller on a computer with an USB port. The circuit is small and can be used in many ways. For instance:

• You can install it on the back of the controller, where the battery box normally goes.
• If you have a battery box, you can probably fit the board inside.
• You can cut the controller cable, wire it to the board, and then put the board in a small project box.
• If you happen to have a suitable controller port from a broken Virtual Boy, you can build a standalone adapter.
• If you cut some plastic, the board can probably be installed inside the controller!

Features:

• Supports original Virtual Boy controllers.
• No drivers required. Implements a standard USB HID device.
• Works under Linux, MacOS X and Windows 10 (32/64 bit).
• Low latency - Maximum polling frequency of 1000 Hz. (1ms intervals)
• Updateable firmware
• Supported by the raphnet adapter manager.

Wiring notes: Some Virtual Boy controllers have a blue wire instead of green. The red wire is not used. If you notice any other differences, please contact us before continuing.
