USB Controller Support (for the Retrode 2) #227

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Could you add controller support for the retrode 2 usb, so that you're able to 
play with your original controller? would be great! :)

There is no USB controller support in libogc so that would be something that 
would need to be added by them first, and i am not sure if this is possible 
since retrode is actually seen as USB drive only.

Honestly, you are better with buying a specific genesis adapter for wii, there 
are a few which adapt to a gamecube controller port and even one that can be 
connected to the wiimote and makes genesis controller as classic controller. I 
have both and they work great, see the main page for some link.

The Retrode actually follows the USB Keyboard boot protocol in [HIDMode] 3. I'd 
be surprised if extra libraries were needed to support that...

would be awesome if it could be added. I'd like to test it ... ;)

So the Retrode is seen as a USB hub, with a HDD and a keyboard attached ? I am 
still not sure how libogc is handling this, sure both types of device are 
supported separately but together i don't know (though i admit i don't know 
much about usb protocol).

Anyway, since i don't have an usb keyboard neither a retrode to test with, 
there are very little chance it's going to happen.

You might as well just ask me for a Retrode :)

I could indeed, but  i know how much it costs and don't think it's fair to ask 
you this kind of things, it's your business afterall.
