OpenRetroPad
Adapt various input devices to various output devices.
Currently supported inputs: SNES/NES, Sega Genesis/Megadrive/Atari, Sega Saturn, Playstation (and PS2) Digital and Dual shock, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo Wii Nunchuck/Wii Classic/SNES+NES Mini
Currently supported outputs: bluetooth-hid gamepad, usb-hid gamepad, nintendo switch usb gamepad, wireless usb-hid gamepad over radio
OpenRetroPad is written and tested on an Arduino Pro Micro and an ESP32, there is also an in-progress custom PCB being developed at OpenRetroPadHW
Build using PlatformIO using pio run or pio run -e $board-$input-$output for a specific target/env.
env's are laid out like $board-$input-$output
supported values:
- $board: micro, esp32
- $input: snes, genesis, saturn, psx, n64, gc, wii, radio, debug
- $output: radio, usb, usbradio, switchusb, bt, debug
- please note not all boards are compatible with all inputs/outputs, for example esp32 can only do bt, micro can only do radio or usb

- 2nd player Genesis is incompatible with Radio because it uses the same pins, 1 player Genesis is compatible
Ω This is optional and only used for dongle detection. On the microcontroller side, put a 1k resistor between DB-25 pin 9 and VCC (3.3v for ESP32, 5V for Micro). On each controller dongle, put a resistor of the given value between DB-25 pin 9 and GND.
All connected pins can also function as Digital pins.
