You did that?

[lackyluuk]

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

[azvarel]

@lackyluuk I would love to have one

[Gorion]

So, where can I get one

[acris]

Great job @lackyluuk

[lackyluuk]

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

@lackyluuk

Really fantastic work.
Reserve me one

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

modify driver udev or sdl2 in recalbox.conf ?

[lackyluuk]

@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?

[acris]

do you use mayflash adapter or other ? link ?
may be you need usbhid quirk

[lackyluuk]

@acris This one for NES/SNES:

And this one for N64:

[acris]

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.

[lackyluuk]

@acris Thank you for your help. I will do the modifications and the support file tomorrow amd let you know

Your english is quite good, mine is not really better, haha

[lackyluuk]

@acris
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):

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

@lackyluuk
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.

[lackyluuk]

@acris
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?

[acris]

@lackyluuk
not it s another
your id vendor and id product are differents, you need to add my informations and try if you didn t do it.

oh not raphnet need a kernel patch too

@Substring , @ian57

[lackyluuk]

@acris yes I have tried your info, but no luck

[acris]

i think kernel patch is missing in recalbox 4.1

[Substring]

Ni idea if it requires a patch to the kernel, i don't think so as it works fine in es, right ?
