External Controllers/Com/Ps2/USB Ports? - Jacen - 04-06-2021

Hi there XOR,

So since you guys have the sega controller port, was curious how that implementation works?
I am very into DIY and making my own stuff, was curious it was possible with how you coded and made the NerdSeq
to code a keyboard with the old style ports? Or if USB midi implementation is possible.
I'm assuming some sort of secondary controller on said port module.

Just throwing some thoughts out there.

Hehe guys......guy :-)

The sega port is only to allow the use of Sega gamepads (and most clones). So there is no extra function possible here and not planned.

There will be a advanced USB midi expander for this port. And next in the pipeline there is a video expander which also allows to connect also a USB Keyboard and some more.
Both are different things with their own use.

haha fair enough if it is just you, wasnt sure if it was a 1 man shop or not xD

all i can say is a video out and USB keyboard, you are a bloody saint! I have a older but high end 22" CRT Monitor been holding onto for an arcade cab, but not it might turn into a NerdSeq Desk cab...

Hehe...good ol CRT. You need a HDMI -> VGA adapter for it or use the composite connection.
