Hi there,
I just bought a Famicom Power Glove and I wanted to do a simple no VR sensor hack for it so I can use just the buttons in a retro comedy show I do (just to look cool) most of the games we play are NES & SNES.
I was a bit taken aback by how complicated all the power glove hacks seem to be. I've never seen a hack that just takes the 9 pin connector and converts it to USB, there seems to be a lot more electronics than I was expecting. I'm not an electronics expert, you might have gathered.
I was hoping just to be able to take the pins and map them on to a USB arcade controller I have then use it to control the emulator in RasperryPi - I assume now this won't work. Why is that, is there a voltage difference? I can't seem to find any schematics just for the 9 Pin plug.
Sorry if this is way off topic but I've been Googling all night and a few threads lead me to this board.
Thanks very much,
Cliff
