  [Tutorial] DIY controller to parallel port adapter.
Posted by: SpookyZalost - June 21st, 2018 at 12:56 AM - Forum: Resources & Tutorials - Replies (7)

I'm going to keep this brief because while straight forward it's still fairly tedius.

you're going to need the following.

  • A joystick/gamepad/controller port of the type the console uses (either from a for parts console or from your own)
  • a wiring diagram/pin layout for the controller... or a multimeter and time to work it out for yourself.
  • a parallel port with Enhanced Capability mode (either via an add on PCI/PCI-E card or on your motherboard if it's an old system)
  • a parallel port cable or connector of the right type to connect to your computer.
  • lots of spare wire.
  • a soldering iron
  • hot glue (optional)
  • electrical tape and or heat shrink wire sheath.
  • an electronics screwdriver kit (for removing connectors, opening cable covers, etc.)
  • 7 1N4148 diodes (for genesis controller adapter, your parts type may vary depending on console and controller)

ok step one is to either reverse engineer your joystick or find a wiring diagram, for this tutorial I will use the wiring diagram for the sega genesis controller, this also works for ATARI 2600/5800/etc, commodore 64, and similar 9 pin trapazoid controller plugs on various consoles.

[Image: gen_diagram2.jpg]\

the thing to remember is that each of those traces goes to a pin on the connector for the controller, each button has a wire basically, and the parallel port will be interpreting that as data on multiple pins of said port and converting it to joystick inputs, this is very much old school but a good way to practice basic mods with little to no consequences.
also remember there are 2 types of controllers, the 3 button and 6 button gamepads, the number of pins in use will vary but the layout should be the same regardless.

also if you can find them... to save time on soldering and such look for DB9 and parallel port connectors like these.
[Image: db9.jpg?w=225] 
with those you just insert the wires and screw them in place removing the need to solder anything other than the diodes.

step two is to wiring things up as shown in these schematics

[Image: esquema_md1.gif]

pins 3 through 9 are the diodes and all connect to DB9 pin 5.
the rest should be attached as shown.

[Image: db251.gif]
[Image: db9-macho1.gif]

the colored pins are the one's you'll be using.

You'll also need a piece of software called PPJoy, this allows you to use the parallel port for joysticks and program them.

http://ppjoy.blogspot.com/2009/11/finall...rsion.html

follow this alternate pinout if you want to put 2 genesis controller ports instead of 1 on your adapter.

[Image: FS1AFYPFU0HZ2ZH.LARGE.gif]

and yeah just run the wires as shown, the triangles being the diodes connecting the appropriate number socket on the DB9 port/'s to the DB25 connector.

do this correctly and install your driver and you should be able to just plug your joystick into the DB9 connector, run PPjoy and play whatever game.
windows will read this as a generic USB controller so any game that supports this should work, alternately find one that converts this into an Xbox 360 controller type device like key 2 joy for games that support only that controller.

and that's all there really is to it, other controller adapters are similar, just be warned that this will take a few hours to do and patience is key!

modify instructions to suit whatever controller you're adapting, so far the following works that I've tried.

Playstation Dual shock 1
Super Nintendo
Sega Gensis
Sega Saturn
Nintendo Entertainment system (NES)

I'll do a different tutorial on the OG Xbox as that one's basically a USB controller you need to mod for the standard connector.

SNES

PS1

if you have any further questions feel free to post them below.

Edit: I'll be sure to post a picture of my setup as soon as I get the chance, work's been busy along with life but the adaptors are easy to make  Wink

  UX: Latest Threads Widget
Posted by: Harry K. - June 17th, 2018 at 3:58 PM - Forum: Community Related - Replies (3)

Love the plugin, absolute necessity for forums these days.

Would it be possible for you to swap the links around? Currently, when you click the Big bold link(title) it takes you to the first post of that thread, and if you click the tiny "last post" link(next to username) it will take you to the latest post on that thread.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the main link, link you to the most recent content that the widget is actually notifying you about? You could then replace the small last post link with a "See Full Thread" link.

Each time I visit makestation I use that widget, and the new posts are in Bold and have a green arrow next to them - almost forcing me to click that link instead of the "last post" link, leaving me to then have to navigate to the last page of that thread. Shouldn't a link that is indicating new content, link me to new content? Tongue
Just a usability suggestion.

The last few Assassin's Creed games have lost my interest, but this one definitely gets the Assassin urges in me flaring back up again.

Anyone see this yet? What do you think?

  Memory card mod-modding.
Posted by: SpookyZalost - June 15th, 2018 at 4:14 PM - Forum: Technology & Hardware - No Replies

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this sorta thing.

a while back I stumbled upon a fairly interesting hardware mod that allows you to plug PS1 memory cards into a computer via the parallel port.

now I know that you can mod the parallel port to accept inputs like a joystick... say for Retro console game controllers?

but I was wondering if anyone thinks it might be possible to use this PS1 memory card mod and apply it to other sorts of memory cards or possible game carts?

here's how the wiring works

[Image: mccskair.gif]

now I wonder... is it possible to take that and apply it to gamecube, Xbox, PS2 or possibly dreamcast memory cards?

here's the thread that goes over it in more detail

it's also where I got the diagrams for the RGB cable tutorials I wrote up after making some, sadly a lot of the links are long dead Sad

and here's another one with more detail just in case

  Trailer for an idea I've been working on.
Posted by: SpookyZalost - June 15th, 2018 at 4:00 PM - Forum: Media Journals - Replies (1)



what you just saw was a trailer I made on a whim for an idea I've had for a while, it's still sorta on the back burner and I've written a lot of different scripts and ideas for it but in it's current iteration it's basically this:

"told mostly as shorts Underground is about a person who's trapped in a video game with various video game tools and abilities but is essentially trapped being forced to follow the will of the player, a godlike being who not only wrote the game but interacts with the player through various means.  there is no-one else there that knows that this is a video game, and the player is mostly viewed as hostile to the various entities present, the goal? Survive and escape."

and that's basically the idea there, I've got about 10 episodes written up now but I've not only not had the time but had difficulty with finding good locations for it... also my video editing needs a lot of work lol.

  WebFlow - "Design and develop at the same time"

Has anyone here heard about webflow? I just tested it out, after not really understanding it and to be honest I'm especially surprised at how well it runs! It's almost like photoshop in a browser - that automatically outputs your designs into code! Sounds crazy right?

If you do design in photoshop or the like, and you haven't checked it out yet I think you should, it could really help in certain situations!

  just cause 4 in the works (december 14th)

There were several rumors from official sources and much speculation, but as of May 2018 there were multiple leaks that confirmed the game. The leaks included screenshots and artworks of action sequences and the game world (see below).

"Welcome to Solis, a huge South American world home of conflict, oppression and extreme weather conditions.
Just Cause 4 sees rogue hero Rico Rodriguez land in Solis to hunt down the truth about his past, at any costs.
Strap into your wingsuit, equip your fully customizable grappling hook, and get ready to bring the thunder!" - Square Enix Website.


i love the JC series..iam salivating now Heart
