Would have been necessary to use a voltage divider which would have required To preventĮxposing the microcontroller input to voltages higher than it's own, it The data signal from the controller is at 5 volts when high.I cannot know for sure what is the voltage threshold for a logic 1. (As I dont have the official controller specifications, It's better to use 5 volts for a logic 1 when driving the controller'sĬLock and Latch pins. Snes and Nes controllers work at 5 volts.The microcontroller is powered with 5 volts for three reasons: Here are a few example of what can be done with this circuit: Given the small size of this circuit, it's possible to fit it inside an original controller. Maybe it's a little overkill, but using thisĬhip allowed me to use my Multiuse tiny 1 PCB. Simple conversion circuit without using programmable components. Later, since a friend kept insisting that I should also design a N64 to Gamecube/Wiiīecause of the complexity of the Gamecube's controller protocol, it's not possible to build a I started by doing the NES and SNESĪdapter. Testing my code which I had prepared in advance. To continue enjoying the classics with proper controllers.Īs soon as I got access to a Wii (I still dont have mine), I started Update!: Since the Wii U and new Wii models are built without gamecube ports, I haveĬreated a new project that works via the Wiimote, making it possible Thinking about designing an Snes/Nes controllers to Gamecube adapter which would It would be possible to use Gamecube controllers to play those games, I started

The Wii, is in my opinion one of their greatest ideas. Nintendo's idea of implementing support for NES, SNES and N64 games in their new console,
