Cube64-DX - Ameliored GC controller to N64 adapter.

Being how much of a range of English fluency is on here, I'll just say this: there are many better word choices to indicate interests that don't come off quite as demanding.

English is a language of inflection, without it you cannot tell the difference between absolute joy and sarcasm based solely on the words that come out of someone's mouth.

 

ape how about backing off of people and not being so mean

 

I'm not being mean, but the fact you took it as being mean just demonstrates my whole point.

 

if you do not like his post about wanting a tut, as he explained it. how about doing the golden rule. do onto others as you would like done onto you.

im trying to do the same and treat others as i want to be treated

peace be upon you

 

Still waiting on an apology from ape for being mean

 

I updated to code so it now initialize any Wavebird correctly.

Working fine now with both my WB controller getting initialized, but unfortunately the joystick calibration for Wavebird is now even more broken!!

Will need to investigate this when I have more time something weird is going on. Calibration of wired controller is still fine btw.

 

Sometime I hate myself ^^. The calibration bug was cause by a variable not initialized to 0 at the beginning .

This is happening to me all the time, some weird stuff happen randomly and I'm always wondering why. 99% of time I just forgot to initialize something....

Wavebird work perfect now!!! just like regular controller .

I disable the joystick range fix but it's just because I have a better implementation in mind. Once this last change done, I do the tutorial

I quite curious to see some feedback about the Wavebird support. Since I can only test with two.

 

cool cant wait

 

looking forward to being able to one day test this out, wavebird with n64 sounds nie

 

Awesome work. Thanks.

 

Added some minor fix to Wavebird implementation this morning, should be 100% right now hopefully

Also, rumble emulation is disabled automatically now when a Wavebird is detected, so no need to do the AL+AR+X trick on boot for game like Cruis'n USA or Blast Corps that don't like the rumble pak when you use a Wavebird.

 

Nice addition DarthCloud, especially since I plan to mostly use this with a Wavebird ;-)

 

I am going to order some pics and I am wondering what pics I should buy?
I am waiting to build till after you can hook up a memory card to a regular controller for saving. Just want to buy the right pics so I am ready.

Thanks again for the doing his.

 

Another update , I improved the gc to n64 axis conversion function. But I'm still unsure if I'm going to keep it or not, I guess I will wait to get some feedback once some peoples build their adapter to make my mind about it.

Get a 12F683, I'm going to completely remove support for old PIC in a few build.

Once I'm happy with the current feature set I'm going to upgrade to a 64MHz PIC and implement real CRC calculation so rumble emulation finally work with goldeneye.

 

I quess I should wait till you post what 64mhz chip you are going to use.

 

I still didn't choose which one I'm going to use.

Change I'm currently doing, are done at an higher level and are superficial, however implementing CRC on a faster CPU will require more deeper change into the adapter at the IO level. So this new version won't come anytime soon.

So I think you should go ahead and building the 12F683 version and enjoy playing n64 with good controller right now .

 

Aw man why... The PIC programmer I just bought doesn't support 12F683, but it does support the older one. =[

 

Which programmer did you buy? PICs all get programmed the same way so supporting different chip is more a question of the software you use than the hardware.

It isn't under the supported list so I'm just assuming it isn't.

 

It's a standard jdm programmer just use WinPic800 program instead of IC-PROG and you will be fine!

WinPic800 tuto already online btw:
