Genesis Controller Serial Port

Sega Genesis used a slightly different approach in joystick connection than Atari. The Sega joystick pinout seems to be the standard 2-button joystick configuration where pins 6 and 9 are used for buttons which ground the pin when pressed. The only strange thing is that the joystick seems to also want +5V at pin 5.

Sega has added a 6-button model in addition to its original 3-button configuration. The 6-button joysticks use essentially the same interface, but add more buttons by using extra circuitry that multiplexes the new button signals with the existing joystick signals, using the control bit in connector pin 7. The chip inside the controller is a 74HC157. This is a high-speed CMOS quad 2-line to 1-line multiplexer. The console can, with help of the Select pin, choose from two functions on each input.

If pin 7 is left floating the controller defaults to this line being high. Pin Name (Select=GND) Name (Select=+5V) 1 Up Up 2 Down Down 3 Gnd Left 4 Gnd Right 5 +5VDC +5VDC 6 Button A Button B 7 Select Select 8 Ground Ground 9 Start Button C How to connect Sega Genesis joystick to PC: It is possible to adapt a joystick originally developed for Sega Genesis to be used on a PC.

After connecting the joystick to the PCs parallel port, you must install a driver so the operating system recognizes the device as a joystick.

Joysticks with this cable will work only after manual installation of the drivers.

Is it possible to make a Sega Genesis USB controller, By using a Genesis Controller (Duh), a broken (the wires inside, not the port) USB extender (cutting the plug. Mar 01, 2007 hi all, Is there a way to use 3DO or Sega Genesis controller on PC without Using adaptors because the 3DO & Sega Genesis controller both uses Serial port?

DirectPad drivers for Windows 2000 or XP may be downloaded from.

This projects makes it possible to use Sega Saturn peripherals (controllers, mouse) on a PC through an USB port. Using the schematic and firmware available on this page, one can make an adapter (Using the connector from a Saturn extension) or convert a controller (if it has enough internal free space). The current firmware supports: • The Basic controllers (ABCXYZ, L/R and Start buttons) • The analogic controller.

• The mouse (aka 'Shuttlemouse') Thanks to USB HID compliance, the adapter works immediately on most modern systems without installing special drivers. Tested under Linux, Windows 7 64-bit, MacOS X and Sony Playstation 3. The following mappings are available.

To enable specific mapping, press and hold the corresponding button, connect the adapter (or power-up the console/computer), and release the button.

They have been reported to work well for Super Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Virtua Fighter 5, Arcana Heart 3, Hard Corps: Uprising, Soul Calibur, Disgaea 3 and Mortal Kombat 9. Configuring the 3D controller.

Configuring the 3D controller is often complicated due to the L/R levers in the back of the controller which do not rest in a centered position. Typically, the issue arises when performing button assignment in the emulator (eg: Yabuse) configuration dialog. As soon as a button assignment is attempted, the emulator sees L or R being active and immediately maps L/R to the button or axis that was to be configured. Ritchies Community Benefit Card Program. Under windows, you can execute this tool which patches the calibration data as to make the game think the levers rest at a centered position, and thus perceive them as inactive unless of course you push them. I used my usual Atmega8 circuit with a custom firmware using the.
