Let’s suppose I wanted to turn a ps3/ps4 or an Xbox 1 controller into a Gamecube controller.

  • You would have to replace the "brain" of the controller with a GCC one. There are multiple GCC firmwares out there (in places like GitHub). So you would have to buy a microcontroller (MCU) that is compatible with your firmware of choice, then open up the controller and install the MCU. You will have to find a spot to put the MCU, and a way to fix it in place (nano tape?). You will have to solder wires from the controller buttons and joysticks to the MCU; you may have to take some of the circuitry out for this to work. And you'll have to make a special USB connector (https://github.com/Crane1195/Model-U) and get a special USB to GC cable in order to connect this controller to the GC.

  • BlueRetro

    Multiplayer Bluetooth controllers adapter for retro video game consoles

  • Or you could make a converter. This looks like an option (it's intended for multiplayer but I don't see a reason you can't use it solo).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
