# DaemonBite Retro Controllers To USB Adapters
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
This is a collection of easy to build adapters for connecting SNES, NES, Mega Drive/Genesis (3/6-button), Master System, Atari, Commodore, Amiga (incl. CD32) controllers to USB. Support for more controllers is on the way (Sega Saturn, NeoGeo etc.).
|
|
|
|
If you want to support my work I sell assembled adapters at https://daemonbite.com. I'm currently working on ways to be able to supply more adapters.
|
|
|
|
The input lag for these adapters is minimal. Here is the result of the Sega controller adapter from a test with a 1ms polling rate on a MiSTer:

|
|
|
| Controller | Samples | Average | Max | Min | Std Dev |
|
|
| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
|
|
| Original 3-Button Mega Drive Controller | 2342 | 0.75ms | 1.28ms | 0.24ms | 0.29ms |
|
|
| 8bitdo M30 Wireless 2.4G | 2348 | 4.54ms | 8.05ms | 2.22ms | 1.31ms |

|
## How to assemble the adapters
|
|
See the README files in the subfolders for build instructions. All the adapters are build around the Arduino Pro Micro.
|
|
|
|
## Building the projects
|
|
You will need the [Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) to build the projects. Download the whole repository via the "Clone or download" button, open the project you want to build in the IDE and select "Arduino Leonardo" in Tools / Board. Connect the Arduino to a USB port and build/upload from Scetch / Upload.

## Credits

|
The Mega Drive gamepad interface is based on this repository : https://github.com/jonthysell/SegaController but almost entirely rewritten and a lot of optimisations have been made.
