Question, Is a Wave-bird controller GBA possible?

Post by Linaru » Sun May 21, 2017 11:59 pm

Hello,
I have been modding custom paint jobs on cases for a while now but am completely new to modding hardware, while working on a friends custom FF: CC GameCube and GBA he came up with a concept that has stuck in my mind for a while now...

Would it be possible to somehow mod a wave bird GC controller(or if not possible a wired controller) and a Gameboy micro to make some sort of custom GB Link controller for use with games like FF: crystal chronicles and four swords?

having never looked inside either I have no idea what kind of components there are to work with or how complex it would be.

I would imagine it as outputting both the d-pad and stick as GBA d-pad buttons, the y+x and triggers as L and R bumpers and the Z button as a select button...
perhaps even with a switch to swap between GameCube controller and GBALink cable mode

if anyone had any thoughts or ideas about its possibility or seen someone working on similar id love to know?

The GBALink cable uses completely different communication than a regular controller/wavebird. You could in theory make it wireless but it would be easier to do from scratch rather than involve a wavebird.
