Firmware for the RP2040, setup for the Adafruit Feather USB Host board (can be used with the Pi Pico as well), capable of emulating gamepads for
- Original Xbox
- Playstation 3
- Nintendo Switch (docked)
- XInput (not Xbox 360)
- Playstation Classic
- Original Xbox Duke and S
- Xbox 360, One, Series, and Elite
- Dualshock 4 (PS4)
- Dualsense (PS5, Dualsense Edge should work but it's untested)
- Nintendo Switch Pro
- Nintendo Switch wired (tested with PowerA brand)
- Nintendo 64 USB (experimental, tested with RetroLink brand)
- Playstation Classic
- Xbox 360 PC adapter (Microsoft or clones, syncs 1 controller)
- 8Bitdo v1 and v2 Bluetooth adapters
- Most wireless adapters that present themselves as Switch/XInput/PlayStation controllers should work
Note: There are some third party controllers that can change their VID/PID, these might not work correctly.
By default the input mode is set to OG Xbox, you must hold a button combo for 3 seconds to change which platform you want to play on. Your chosen input mode will persist after powering off the device.
Start = Plus (Switch) = Options (Dualsense/DS4)
Start + Dpad Up
Start + Dpad Right
Start + Dpad Down
Start + Dpad Left
Start + A (Cross for PlayStation and B for Switch gamepads)
After a new mode is stored, the RP2040 will reset itself so you don't need to unplug it.
If your third party controller isn't working, but the original version is listed above, send me the device's VID and PID and I'll add it so it's recognized properly.
You can compile this for the Pi Pico by commenting out this line in CMakeLists.txt
add_compile_definitions(FEATHER_RP2040)
That will set the D+ and D- host pins to GPIO 0 and 1.
Here's a diagram of how you'd use the Pico:
Thank you to Ryzee119 and the OpenStickCommunity, without their work this project would not exist.
