GC custom peripherals
Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2014 3:48 am
Hi guys,
So I'm interested in making custom peripherals for the Gamecube and the Hi Speed Port and Serial Port seem to have a lot of potential (besides controller ports of course). I just wanted to know if there is much support for this kind of stuff in the libogc libraries and such. If not I guess we could just bit bang it?
For example. How likely would it be that we could take a camera or say DVD player that outputs composite video and then feed it into one of the ports and have the same signal then pushed out from the GC's AV port (I know it sound redundant).
I think this is possible? At least the hardware should be adequate since the Gameboy Player does most of the hardware emulation and the GC essentially just acts as a mediator/interpreter for the controller/player, the screen, and the Gameboy Player.
Thanks,
Lollipop
