Various controllers used with the propeller?

SONIC the Hedgehog · 2012-01-26 08:49

So I began reading the propeller cookbook a few days ago, and was amazed at the fact someone even found out how to get a N64 controller working with it, so I have a question. Has anyone tried any other controllers, say Dreamcast or original Xbox? Or even SNES? I think it's awesome to have the different sorts of controllers for different styles of playing.

Look in the Object Exchange site under Human Input. There are various joysticks, Atari, NES, SNES, etc in there.

@Sonic,

One of the other things I've tried to do is create a "standard" around many of the game controller objects which allow them to be interchangeable. So if you create your project using a NES controller, someone with a N64 controller can simply adjust one line of the your code and the program will work the same.

Here's the details:

Thats what I'm thinking too. Like making a seris of games for sega controllers, then nintendo controllers....ect...

BTW, A little off-topic, but I know you are another retro-head. You might appreciate this project. It's a good example of using multiple controllers with the Propeller.

Heads up. I sent you a PM (Private Message).. Not sure if you've seen that feature of the forums yet.. Hence this note.

Yeah, I kinda figured it. The Funtendo looks really cool, I thing I'm going to try that sometime.
