      Hi there 🙂

      I know it's not a recalbox itself but a nice addon, so to say 🙂

      I would like to introduce my new Nintendo Adapter Box for recalbox

      You can plug in the original controllers for the following systems:

      • NES
      • SNES and
      • N64

      and then just plug in the USB cable to your recalbox.

      Here are some pictures 🙂

          Yes, I friend of mine helped me out with the design (CAD) and then 3D printed 🙂

                  Thanks folks 🙂
                  It still needs some tuning since the controllers do not work properly in-game with this adapter. In ES everthing works but not really in-game. Anyone an idea?

                  @azvarel @Gorion haha, yes. Actually it should be possible to get one. Unfortunately it is a little bit expensive since it is a unique piece and no mass production 😄
                  But if you have a 3D printer, we could talk about 😄

                  Here is another pic from the inside..its a little bit messy 😕

                  Actually there is no need for additional glue. I just put it there to fix it. The cover / lid (see next to the box) holds all the connectors properly 🙂

                      need archive of recalbox.support.sh ?
                      What material did you use?

                      modify driver udev or sdl2 in recalbox.conf ?

                        @acris I will create a support file tomorrow and give you the link. The N64 controllers work perfectly in ES and in-game. Only the NES and SNES have issues (They use a different adapter than the N64 controllers. Maybe this can be a problem.

                        Do you mean the material of the box itself?

                        So far I haven't changed anything in recalbox.conf. Should I?

                              I need your archive (recalbox-support.sh)
                              In theory I think you need usb quirks or others things udev rules.

                              in recalbox.conf you can tested to switch auto driver in sdl2 or udev.

                              ## If you don't have issues with your controllers, let auto
                              global.inputdriver=auto
                              

                              reboot you raspberry if you modifed
                              sorry for my english.

                                  I have changed global.inputdriver=auto to sdl2 and udev. Same behaviour, SNES and NES controller still only work in ES.

                                  Here are my support.sh files:

                                  • Only adapterbox connected to recalbox (no controllers connected to box):
                                    http://www52.zippyshare.com/v/VAAnNWtd/file.html

                                  • SNES controller connected to adapterbox (Works fine in ES):

                                    try this idea :

                                    mount -o remount,rw /
                                    

                                    edit this file : /etc/modprobe.d./usbhid.conf

                                    add theses lines at the end :

                                    #raphnet.net 4nes4snes v1.5
                                    options usbhid quirks=0x289b:0x0003:0x040
                                    

                                    save and reboot your raspberry.
                                    Try SNES gamepad.

                                    but I think theses adapters need patch kernel.

                                      Thanks for your help. Unfortunately it does not work. I saw that the 4NES4SNES adapter is already in the /usbhid.conf file.
                                      Could it be possible that the new version v1.5 is the problem?

                                      Is there anything else I could try to figure out?
