Been scouring the internets for a pinout for a 3do controller. Cant seem to find anything useful. Surly one of you gentlemen have the answer.

I couldn't locate a pin-out either online.

But, from what I did find and read it seems to work much like the NES/SNES controllers by sending a stream of data (serially) to the console as to the state of the controller. That means it doesn't have a wire dedicated to each button/direction like 2600/Genesis controllers do. Maybe someone else might know more about them.

possibly there is no intrest in resurecting such old thread, but since i've already put 3 days of my time into this, maybe it would be good for someone somewhere if i shared the results

i've developed simple SNES to 3DO adaptor, currently supporting only one controller - its not that its complicated when you've basics covered, but i would like to get some feedback or buttons mappings first

so here we go

schematics - (warining - do not mount R1 and R2, add crystal to pins #4 and #5 of MCU)

board layout - easy enough to do at home with modest setup

assembly drawings

HEX file for programming AVR - please set CLKDIV8 to disabled and CLKSEL so it would use crystal over 8mhz (1110 it was)

thing in action

this board was designed to fit inside KM-100B case by maszczyk

pins for SNES ports were taken from split DB25 male plug as i couldn't find any supplier for these sockets locally

Howdy-

Slightly off-topic, but I think you guys might be able to help. I got an ALG Light Gun for my 3DO, but as soon as I plug it into my FZ-1, the FZ-1 starts resetting repeatedly over & over till I unplug it.

I gather that the gun is shorting the ground & power pins on the controller port...?


Thanks,
-Jason
