LPT Switch
Hoagie_one:
It probably worked for individual presses, but i bet as soon as i hit more than one on the same line...it'll crap itself.
I'm depressed about it now....maybe next weekend
Trimoor:
Hoagie_one, I remember when I was testing that the interface wouldn't register anything when the diodes were connected backwards. Try it a bit more. Maybe it really does work.
Has anyone gotten the interface working with anything but windows?
Can anyone tell me how this could be configured using SNESKey?
I want to know before I start trying to make linux drivers.
Hoagie_one:
I get button presses, but it registers several presses as the same button...dammit
Some buttons dont register at all.
3 hours of work.....very irritating.
brained:
Hoagie, Diodes only let flow current one way. So if it works it's ok... the problem with the button pressing various simultaneous inputs must be wiring... double check the wiring. It can be very confusing!!
Ohh, just in case, The black stripe in the diode must go towards the wire terminal connector..
Btw, just unsolder your diodes, flip the ones that are backward and solder them again,... you don't have to throw them away....
edit: added another suggestion.

Too much work for $1.50 in parts
On top of that, I also believe i mislabeled my lpt wires.
