E474 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I saw this project (courtesy of @Mr Robot), and was wondering how much of a step up it would be to add a couple of joystick ports to a FujiNet? https://retro.moe/unijoysticle2/ I seem to remember there are issues with the Bluetooth stack at the moment, and the board shown has a number of support chips (I'm not a hardware guy), but am just posting as a heads up in case it's a no-brainer mod. Obviously you would need joystick extension cables too, but I've seen those for about a $1 apiece on AliExpress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FujiNet is SIO only and has no way of interfacing with the joystick ports. We are using all the esp32 pins so there's no way to add a pigtail/joystick port to hookup to the Atari joystick ports either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 it may be he was thinking of bluetooth joysticks using the fujinet to connect and finding a method to send those commands over SIO either to special new games, patched old games, or some TSR OS wedge...

E474 Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Ok, I was hoping there might be some spare pins, but without those it would be the methods @_The Doctor__ describes. Presumably this would fly with GPIO and a Raspberry Pi (with logic level shifters, I guess), maybe something that could complement @apc's work on FujiNet-PC.
