Controller emulator?

Was just wondering if anyone has ever attempted to make a gamecube controller emulator. If so, was it with an fpga or a microcontroller (or both)? I'm thinking of making one myself but dealing with nintendo's weird protocol looks like it's going to be pain.

An MCU (atmega 8 series) should be more than enough.

I see, do you know if anyone has ever completed one of these? I think i will be using an stm32f (cortex M4) since i already have one at my disposition even though it might be overkill. And do you think bitbanging is the way to go for data transfer?

Bitbanging is the only way to do it afaik.

I have done this with an ATmega8.

Alright, thanks guys. Will start working on this as soon as i get my logic analyser.

This Arduino library https://github.com/NicoHood/Nintendo might be something to look into.

GCARS-CS comes to mind, it's a software solution and only supports a handful of games, but everything is documented so its possible to add more.
