Hey Gang! Just finished this Propeller project, and it's one of my coolest yet!

Funtendo is a completely self contained retro gaming & controller system for your PC.

It is capable of using the original Nintendo controller, the N64 controller, and the Wii Classic controller at the same time!

Funtendo is USB powered, and also contains a flash drive which will contain the project drivers, as well as your emulators and rom files.

You'll need the following parts to build the Funtendo:

• Propeller Platform USB (Source: Gadget Gangster)
• Terminal Module (Source: Gadget Gangster)
• Nintendo controller extension cable
• Nintendo 64 controller extension cable
• Wii Classic controller extension cable
• A USB Flash drive (2gig or better)
• A USB Hub powerable from USB
• A Project Box (Source: Radio Shack)
• Nintendo 64 controller
• Original Nintendo controller
• Wii Classic controller
• A USB cable with an "A" connector

That's really cool OBC!
You never seem to run out of ideas for new projects.

How about making the propeller act as a USB HID device and skip the need to fiddle around with serial joystick drivers from the last century?
