Today I've sent my very first message to the wishlist subscribers. It would be very helpful if you guys and gals dropped me a line. Below are promised images of the current draw. Just bare device (28.13 mA): https://i.imgur.com/qflq8Dw.jpg?1 Device with SNES and Genesis gamepads connected (30.06 mA …

I'm no electronics designer so please forgive my rather simplistic outlook, But how hard would it be to make something like this to accept PlayStation 1/Sega Saturn controllers? Without the analog sticks obviously. Should be quite similar. I didn't bother as I designed the device for myself and I: …

This looks great Volo, very nice design. Now my question: is there any port where I can get the required 5V for the adapter when using it on a 486 laptop? The laptop has single serial port, single parallel port, VGA , PCMCIA and PS/2 ports, nothing else.I know the PS/2 port supplies +5V, but since …

oh this looks great! kudos!!! the wire adapter is way better - the stress release alone worths the price difference Thanks for your reply! Those things may be offered as an extra option. In any case you'll get the device + 15cm 4p4c-to-PS/2 wire, which is more than enough to plug-n-play. The …

Re: Volo's Gamepad to PS/2 Adapter. Device discussion (official thread) (24.12.2020 SHORT UPDATE)

SITUATION REPORT Been busy. Received the first production prototype. There are a couple of kinks, which need to be addressed, but I’m rather happy with the result. 1. The device is quite hefty, weighs 50 grams (not including wires). Quite sturdy. Not wobbly or rattly. 2. The ports align quite well. …

SHORT UPDATE I've handed over the prototype and cases for proof-of-concept milling of orifices in the shell. I wont have the access to the device for 2-3 weeks due to festivities and so-such. I invested into into milling a custom production clamp, so the result shall be pretty much representative …

SITUATION REPORT. OOOKAY… Haven’t been to the forum for a while. Have had little time to invest in the project. Been busy at work. Had to live away from the city (1.5% of people there are active COVID cases). Bought myself a puppy. The pup, while being quite small, at the same time is somehow quite …

SITUATION REPORT After sufficiently playing with USB, my thoughts are as follows: It works. The connector is a bit picky (it prefers more expensive USB cords for reliable connection). I’m now experimenting with PS/2 setup. I came up with this: https://i.imgur.com/uDidPt0.jpg It is a hacked PS/2 …

Amiga is not a specific computer. It is a specific family of specific computers. Amiga 500 is a specific computer. Exactly what I said. I can say it in a different way. Amiga are not only reserved to machines with the name Commodore on them. Amiga is a platform, just as PC (x86/Dos-era) are Unisys …

...it is not real IBM PS/2 Model 80-486. https://i.imgur.com/jDBr2RIh.jpg The IBM model 80 is a 386 machine. I'm pleased with flame. Thank you! I have to comment on this. If a real Amiga is defined by whoever made it. Then every single Commodore Amiga is not a real Amiga. It was invented by Amiga ( …

I have to comment on this. If a real Amiga is defined by whoever made it. Then every single Commodore Amiga is not a real Amiga. It was invented by Amiga (or Hi-Toro) and thus they are the makers of real Amiga's. However. They did not manage to build a consumer grade machine. Commodore made it. And …

O000f! You would not believe how much time and effort this screenshot cost me: https://i.imgur.com/4kPKPaL.png I resorted to use of Objective Development USB VID/PID pair. Since I imitate a bog-standard USB keyboard (otherwise Win98 dislikes it) - I expect no conflicts. Feel free to look through the …

1. Yes, both may be necessary to work on very old PC systems, but I don't consider it essential in either. 2. To release the key, the scancode must be OR operation with 80h, see the following table: http://users.utcluj.ro/~baruch/sie/labor/PS2/Scan_Codes_Set_1.htm 3. I also messed with typematic, …

SITUATION REPORT It’s been a month since I made a proper update. The previous prototypes showed that if anything can go wrong – does. That thing even thrown me into a grave depression. At least the soldering service fella never let me down. I’ve been playing for couple of weeks with this prototype: …
