Parallel port as a programmer

Pages: << < (3/3)

Samstag:

There's no good reason to do this in hardware.  You're talking about writing software and building hardware that controls other hardware that becomes a software input. 

Skip the middleman and write a software program that generates key presses.  No real hardware required and no compatibility problems.

ShinAce:

The hardware involved is minimal. It's gonna be 99% writing code.

ShinAce:

The whole point of doing this is to be able to program very long macros, which then must be accepted by ALL consoles. It needs to work on psx, DC, xbox, saturn, all that jazz.

The key presses are not going back to a computer.
