+# Dreamcast controller to USB adapter firmware
+
+AVR micro-controller firmware for a Dreamcast controller to USB adapter.
+
+## Project homepage
+
+Schematic and additional information are available on the project homepage:
+
+English: [Dreamcast controller to USB adapter](http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/dreamcast_usb/index_en.php)
+French: [Adaptateur manette Dreamcast à USB](http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/dreamcast_usb/index.php)
+
+## Supported micro-controllers
+
+Currently supported micro-controllers:
+
+* Atmega168
+
+Adding support for other micro-controllers should be easy, as long as the target has enough
+IO pins, enough memory (flash and SRAM) and is supported by V-USB.
+
+## Built with
+
+* [avr-gcc](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/avr-gcc)
+* [avr-libc](http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/)
+* [gnu make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html)
