No surprise on NES.
AFAIK the only paddle-style NES controller is the Arkanoid "Vaus".

It would be a waste to use a spinner for the Atari 2600 emulator as well, since the only game that originally supported a spinner (driving controller) was Indy 500. All other games with a rotary controller used the tennis/paddle controller - that is potentiometer with a limited turn.

Thanks to intealls for testing and confirming the Teensy load procedures on page 14 of the User Guide. :cheers:

Gents, I need an adapter similar to the original KADE that translates arcade switch buttons, plus at least 3 POT inputs (left stick right/left pot, left trigger pot, right trigger pot), into an original XBOX. The KADE works fine for buttons, but POT inputs were never supported. SharpFork indicated this miniArcade 2.0 project might be exactly what I need. I prefer to have a completed unit, though I am ok at soldering having done numerous pad hacks over the years. I have funding, so as long as you can warranty or stand behind the product, cost is no object (within reason). If it works, I will purchase more in the future as well.

MiniArcade 2.0 supports original XBox.
- No problem on the buttons.
- Left stick right/left pot uses analog port F7. (Enable it in the config menu)
- I'm not sure if the firmware does analog trigger buttons so I'll let Bruno answer that one. :dunno

True, the original KADE never supported pots because the at90usb162 and atmega32u2 (the Minimus AVR processors) don't have any Analog/Digital converter inputs.
Fortunately, the atmega32u4 has more than enough of them. ;D

You'll probably need to solder them yourself unless Bruno has some units for sale.
If not, there's a Bill of Materials with links and a list of PCB fabricators in the User Guide.
The Gerber files for fabricating PCBs are in the download package.

Thanks for all of your work on this.
BTW will there ever be support for a trackball?
