Well, here i present my Adapter from analog PSX pad to analog SS pad.
So, you can use analog PSX pad in your SEGA SATURN!
Here's the circuit schematic(very simple):
As you will able to see, the circuit use a 16F84A PIC Microcontroller, so you'll need a microcontroller programmer to burn the firmware.
The circuit maybe is pretty confuse at firt sight.So, here i put an easier way to connect the Microcontroller pins to connector cables:
RA0 -> Brown PSX connector cable(needs 4.7k ohms pull up)
RA1 -> Orange PSX connector cable
RA2 -> Blue PSX connector cable
RA3 -> White PSX connector cable
RA4 -> Ultrabright LED(needs 470 omhs pull up)
RB0 -> Black SS connector cable
RB1 -> Green SS connector cable
RB2 -> Gray SS connector cable
RB3 -> Yellow SS connector cable
RB4 -> Brown SS connector cable
RB5 -> Red SS connector cable
RB6 -> Orange SS connector cable
RB7 -> NC(Do not connect it, just keep it floating)
Other Important cables:
PSX Ground cable: Red
PSX 5V cable: Yellow
SS Ground cable: White
SS 5V cable: Blue
Adaptader Specifications:
* 4 Button configurations can be selected indicated by the led
* Selected configuration is stored eaven during power off
* led indicating analog mode activated
I hope soon make it compatible with DC controllers.
The firmware:
Firmware 16F84A
I test it and works perfect in both mode, analog & digital.
Here's my first model: example
Ask if you need help.
Good luck!
