So I figured that if I want to emulate Super Nintendo that I better pick up a Super NES to USB adaptor so that everything feels right.

As fate would have it, the first adaptor I ordered does not in fact need drivers as advertised, but also does not seem to be supported by MorphOS.

Does anyone know of any that do, be it for the SNES or PSX...

...assuming the PSX emu ever gets propper Joystick support. God knows I've had ZERO luck assigning key and mouse presses via Poseidon.

BTW, anyone know where I can contact the author(s) of Poseidon?

Could you post Poseidon logs here (only the stuff that gets output there once you plug the device in obviously)? Also, is the device assigned to any class? If it's assigned to hid, are there any custom reports in the 3rd tab of device's Settings window?

Edit: from what I read, these devices are HID, so it should just be a matter of assigning their events to proper joystick actions. If these do not work, you could try assining them to keyboard keys too to match the mapping of normal kb controls.

Poseidon's author is Chris Hodges, but he no longer maintains the MorphOS version.

The documentation for Poseidon should be in SYS:Docs, but I cannot verify this from here. The doc is also available in the Pv4 archive found at http://www.platon42.de/files/usb/PoseidonV4.lha . There's also a small tutorial in http://www.totalamiga.org/pdf/totalamiga_14.pdf . Good luck :)

This one seems to have very nice functions : http://www.wolfsoft.de/shop/product_info.php/products_id/14677//retro-adapter.html

Who does maintain Poseidon ?

Quote:

The MorphOS version is maintained by the MorphOS Team.

Thanks Simon. I had to bookmark that one.

Oepabakkes: So is this one confirmed to work with Poseidon?

jacadcaps: I've been through that Total Amiga article and have had PLENTY of conversations on Amiga.org in regards to this, all if which ended with failure.

I'll try to find those conversations and post the link here for anyone interested in reading about my experiences.

On that note, I could kill for a simple and easy to use interface for assigning key/mouse buttons/movements to a joypad, such as you can find in the Windows world.

Sadly, the most I could do was assign a direction (let's say up) to the UP ARROW on my Keyboard, but it kept triggering as if I was holding down the UP Arrow, even though I had the PRESSED and DEPRESSED button values set. Also I could not seem to get the LEFT RIGHT OR DOWN arrows assigned at all, UP over ruled everything.

Here is one of the conversations I was having about Key/Mouse assigns on Amiga.org

http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=53447

There is another place where FAB (I think it was) was trying to help me out, but I can't find that link atm.

Alright first and foremost, since I can't seem to post pics, I'll type out what it says:
