Try this driver from archive.org it worked for my GDEV and ODEM...

You're right the board should be based on 3.3v logic.

I would need to swap the crystal to 8Mhz if I wanted to do that, just stuck an LM317 on my breadboard and counted out the resistors to get to 3.43v, soldering on the headers for the logic converter, will have results in an hour or so.

My post got deleted but I came to the conclusion the rumble signal inhibition is not decided via controller ID, but rather with a separate bit in the handshake. Even if changing this bit under the Wavebird protocol doesn't work, with a microcontroller, the gamecube can think its talking to a wired c...

Plans http://trevorrudolph.com/02b.jpeg So pin 7 (it's 2 in the code) on the microcontroller acts as the gamecubes data line. This is a 5v board so I got the logic converter. What order do i wire up pin 7 (actually 2), the logic converter, and the 1KΩ resistor? Tried some different ways but I think ...

also YAGCD mentions that bit 13 of the controller handshake is for Rumble Motor availability, so the console doesn't stop rumble signal using the Wireless identifier, but it stops it using that bit. We can use two bidirectional lines to relay the data line on the Wavebird receiver and to change that...

Also as a reply to what you said tesla246, we already know how the controller works, I'm writing a program on an ATMega to act as a GC controller, and since I'm coding it I can do anything with it, be it wireless rumble or using a toaster as the A button. Anyways I think microcontrollers are way bet...

Wow well this is a huge damper, I've been studying the controller port protocol, and it's actually the last bit in the sequence that tells us if we need rumble. I was going to say we could bug the data line and read the rumble bit but now that I know the controller ID is different that makes things ...

As a follow-up, we would fit the rumble and reciever into the wavebird by either franken-casing or replacing the AA batteries with a flat battery and using the extra space for the motor and receiver.

Yes I completely agree. This would be a separate transmitter and receiver mind you for rumble only. The 5v can be taken as a signal from the transmitter side, sent as a signal to a receiver in the wavebird, then on recovering that signal the wavebird closes a connection between a motor and a regulat...

Note that the rumble is performed by sending a 5V signal to the controller port. If we put a pin in the wavebird receiver to the 5V line and have an extra 2.4ghz transmitter in the transmitter dongle for 5V signal only, as well as a receiver to that device planted in the wavebird, we can emulate the...

no pins required for V5... pins are optional, but the holes are a lot bigger this time to allow fitting solder wire and just heating it in place... V6 will need to use a technique of solder drag at low temp...about 440*F or 540*F..you need low heat not to disturb the filters the MEGAdrive pads will...
