Firmware v2.1 adds support for the Konami Hypershot.

So I have a particular issue I am trying to solve. Unsure if this could be done in firmware or if the game I'm using needs to play nicer with it.

I'm trying to get an OEM controller to work with the Perfect Dark PC Port. Now, I don't know if this is an issue, but I did purchased a non Raphnet brand adapter that uses your firmware. Unsure if other people can license your firmware on home made adapters and sell them or if it's open source. If not, let me know I'll give you info on who is selling them.

So this adapter has 3.6.1 on it. In Windows it registers the C-Button presses from an OEM controller as regular button presses. In Windows it's buttons 7,8,9,10. While I can map this controller in many different emulators I can't get it to work with the Perfect Dark port. I did try other controllers with the PD Port, one being the 8bitdo bluetooth kit for OEM controllers. That one does work. That registers C-Button presses as x/y coordinates and not regular button presses. The Nintendo NSO bluetooth controller on the other hand is the same as the adapter.

There might be a lot to unpack here but my question is if it would be a good feature to add and option to swap c-button presses to x/y coordinates "I think right stick" to be compatible with programs like this or if the issue lies with the other program?

I will note that Glaslu00, who is big on Goldeneye and Perfect Dark says they are using an official dual Raphnet adapter with 3.5.0 and it works for them in the Perfect Dark Port.

Thank you for your time.

I do not see why the linux release has to be compiled. It is not user-friendly in the slightest and isn't fool-proof.

Hello! When trying to dump the contents of the controller pak, every so often the script will timeout multiple times:

Am I doing something wrong?

edit:

I am using Windows 11, I've tried a few usb ports, both usb 2.0 and usb 3.0.

Hello, I am using Windows 11, the program works but I could not update the firmware of the Classic controller to the USB adapter - V3 using Windows 11, it is only possible to update the firmware of the Classic controller to the USB adapter - V3 using Windows 10. The problem is that since today I received a big update from Windows Update on my Windows 11... and now every time I try to select the device from the Raphnet adapter management program it does not work or load, also when I try to configure USB gaming devices. I see 2 WUSMote v2.2 USB devices connected but when I try to select and test the buttons I get an error in the game controller, what about Windows 11 incompatibility issues?

but when it comes to selecting the controller within the GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR game everything seems to work perfectly so the problem is in the Raphnet adapter manager program

Hello,

I found problem when using the wii classic raphnet adapter and a 8bitdo 2.4 ghz snes mini gamepad.

Randomly, ghost input are executed on the gamepad (direction left on the dpad).

I’ve try the 8bitdo gamepad and there is no issue when i use it alone, it only appear with the raphnet adapter.

My test, i use yoshi’s island on snes, and use the jump button for like 5/10 minutes. Sometime Yoshi go on left.

Could you help me with this issue ? (Firmware downgrade ? Modify setting of the raphnet adapter ?)

FYI, if i change poll rate to 1ms, it appears a lot more.

Thanks

Regards

I exported a number of notes from several MPKs images and built a new MPK from them.
When I transfered this new MPK to an Controller Pak none of the games recognized their notes.
So I opened the MPK in a hex editor, and found out that the note entry table was wrong, as none of the note entries had their respective 4 letter game IDs.
Furthermore, it seems the importer doesn't like periods (.) inside the filename. San Francisco RUSH's note name is "S.F. RUSH . " but, when importing it back, the new note becomes "S RUSH .F".
The imported notes show up in a Controller Pak manager/menu, but the games won't use them because the gamecodes are broken, if there aren't other problems beyond what I can tell.

On the bright side, the notes it exports FROM GOOD MPKs do seem to be good, as I could use a different tool to import them and generate a good MPK file where the games could properly recognize and load their notes: bryc.github.io -- github.com/bryc/mempak

First off, apologies for sort of double-posting this. I've emailed the support e-mail, but I figured this would more appropriately be added here.

Are there any plans for adding the ability for custom mappings for this adapter, or to add additional mappings? The first N64 game has been released for switch (SM64 on 3D All-Stars), and the gamecube controller is not officially supported but useable. However the button mapping is all incorrect and the Switch does not allow custom mapping for GC controllers. The 8 currently available mappings do not match up to what would be needed. Adding this new mapping or custom mapping would make this the go-to adapter for playing this game (and any future games if Switch adds N64 switch online) with the original N64 controller. If custom mapping isn't feasible, but an additional mapping is, I can add details of what that would look like specifically for SM64 3D All-Stars.

(Not sure if this is the right section/area for this)
Would it be possible for you to add compatibility/a firmware update for your adapters to work with the Genesis Mini and the PlayStation Classic? You could have it where you could set up for custom controller mappings for each controller! You could either set up a button combo to switch systems or have be set in software! Maybe you could have the adapters eventually auto-detect which system it is being used on!

I have an official Nintendo Controller Pak (NUS-004) and the Dual N64 to USB adapter with v3.6.0 firmware. The mempak works flawlessly (tested with Mario Kart 64 ghost data, Wave Race, Beetle Adventure Racing) with the mupen64plus raw input plugin, however, I cannot get gcn64tools to read or write data correctly from the mempak. There is no error when it reads the mempak data to a file but when I run mempak_ls with the file I get an error: "Mempak invalid (not formatted or corrupted)". The GUI mempak editor tool just lists "!!ERROR!!" for every note entry.

Hello and thanks for this great piece of hardware I've been using for some years.

Though I cannot get it to work on Debian 11.

udev rules have been copied, udev restarted, 'make' ran OK.

Looking at your udev rules, it seems IDs don't match with kernel-detected IDs.Useful info is in emphasis below: :

Could support for the adapters, specifically the firmware of the adapter and the adapters connected to the adapter, the Controller Pak, the Transfer Pak, Multitap memory card, as rewritable storage devices (accessible by /dev)?

Hello, is there upcoming support for rumble/vibration and DualShock2 pressure sensitive buttons?
These features are used in games such as Grand Theft Auto 3 and Burnout 3 and many more!
We would appreciate these features Thanks!

You have so many repositories for so many sorts of converters, including NES/SNES to USB, N64/GC to USB, Saturn to USB and even Jaguar to USB or VirtualBoy to USB (but why???) which is so good. This repository has everything BUT PS1 to USB converter for some reason or at least I didn't find it... Will you be releasing PS1/PS2 to USB converter as well?? Looking forward for a professional product or code for this as well!

Would it be possible to have/add a setting/feature in the "Raphnet adapter management tool" and firmware update to allow the "PS1/PS2 controller to USB adapter" to allow the attached controller(s) to act/be read as a PS4 DS4 controllers? This would allow the controller(s) to be usable with the "PS4 Remote Play" function, as well as to allow PS4 button prompts/icons to show up in steam!!!

Also, Would it be possible to have a setting, and updated firmware, for all, or most, of the controller adapters to be able to have/be in Xinput mode?

Hello,

I tried updating the firmware on my Saturn adapter (289b:0043). It failed. In the console I can see the following when trying to reset the adapter:

$ ./gcn64ctl_gui -s

The gcn64ctl_gui "Test vibration" button only sometimes causes my N64 controller to start vibrating, and when it does start then the "Stop vibration" button only sometimes causes it to stop vibrating. With gcn64ctl the --n64_control_rumble flag works consistently.

This is with

• a Gamecube/N64 to USB adapter v3.6 (ADAP-GCN64-USB_V3) (p/n: 6-070)
• Firmware 3.6.1
• GNU/Linux
• gcn64tools 2.1.25
• an N64 controller with Rumble Pak

It would be great to have a configuration option for "D-pad as POV".

What is POV?
It stands for "Point of View Hat" and is the typical way a D-pad is represented in the driver of a game controller. See the screenshots below as an example comparing an Xbox controller to the WUSBMote.

Currently, the adapter has the option "D-pad as axes", which is mapping the D-pad to the X and Y axes. Without the option, each D-pad direction is mapped to a different button. However, in some games, neither of these options are supported. Some games support only a POV. An example is Mortal Kombat Trilogy on GOG.

I'm testing this with Adapter Manager 2.1.28, with a Classic controller to USB adapter V3, on firmware 2.2.7, and connected to a Classic Controller Pro.

Thanks for the great software.

I have a v3 adapter for my wii guitar hero guitar and I have no way of compiling the tar.gz file because steam OS on my steamdeck doesn't have arch linux so i cant download the necessary dependencies to install this adapter tool meaning my guitars whammy bar (analog stick) wont be recognized. Please release an easier linux installation method.
