^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 27) originally designed for PCs and other computers Linux runs on. Because of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) that, PCs usually lack the right ports to connect these devices to. Parallel
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29) port, because of its ability to change single bits at will, and providing
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) both output and input bits is the most suitable port on the PC for
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) connecting such devices.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) Many console and 8-bit computer gamepads and joysticks are supported. The

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 41)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 42) The Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo Entertainment System
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 43) gamepads are widely available, and easy to get. Also, they are quite easy to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 44) connect to a PC, and don't need much processing speed (108 us for NES and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 45) 165 us for SNES, compared to about 1000 us for PC gamepads) to communicate
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 46) with them.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 47)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 48) All NES and SNES use the same synchronous serial protocol, clocked from
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 49) the computer's side (and thus timing insensitive). To allow up to 5 NES
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 50) and/or SNES gamepads and/or SNES mice connected to the parallel port at once,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 51) the output lines of the parallel port are shared, while one of 5 available
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 52) input lines is assigned to each gamepad.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 53)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 54) This protocol is handled by the gamecon.c driver, so that's the one
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 55) you'll use for NES, SNES gamepads and SNES mice.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 56)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 57) The main problem with PC parallel ports is that they don't have +5V power
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 58) source on any of their pins. So, if you want a reliable source of power
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 59) for your pads, use either keyboard or joystick port, and make a pass-through
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 60) cable. You can also pull the power directly from the power supply (the red
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 61) wire is +5V).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 62)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 63) If you want to use the parallel port only, you can take the power is from
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 64) some data pin. For most gamepad and parport implementations only one pin is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 65) needed, and I'd recommend pin 9 for that, the highest data bit. On the other
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 66) hand, if you are not planning to use anything else than NES / SNES on the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 67) port, anything between and including pin 4 and pin 9 will work::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 68)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 69) (pin 9) -----> Power
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 70)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 71) Unfortunately, there are pads that need a lot more of power, and parallel
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 72) ports that can't give much current through the data pins. If this is your
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 73) case, you'll need to use diodes (as a prevention of destroying your parallel
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 74) port), and combine the currents of two or more data bits together::

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 87) Ground is quite easy. On PC's parallel port the ground is on any of the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 88) pins from pin 18 to pin 25. So use any pin of these you like for the ground::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 89)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 90) (pin 18) -----> Ground
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 91)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 92) NES and SNES pads have two input bits, Clock and Latch, which drive the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 93) serial transfer. These are connected to pins 2 and 3 of the parallel port,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 94) respectively::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 95)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 96) (pin 2) -----> Clock
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 97) (pin 3) -----> Latch
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 98)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 99) And the last thing is the NES / SNES data wire. Only that isn't shared and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 100) each pad needs its own data pin. The parallel port pins are::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 101)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 102) (pin 10) -----> Pad 1 data
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 103) (pin 11) -----> Pad 2 data
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 104) (pin 12) -----> Pad 3 data
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 105) (pin 13) -----> Pad 4 data
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 106) (pin 15) -----> Pad 5 data
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 107)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 108) Note that pin 14 is not used, since it is not an input pin on the parallel
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 109) port.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 110)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 111) This is everything you need on the PC's side of the connection, now on to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 112) the gamepads side. The NES and SNES have different connectors. Also, there
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 113) are quite a lot of NES clones, and because Nintendo used proprietary
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 114) connectors for their machines, the cloners couldn't and used standard D-Cannon
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 115) connectors. Anyway, if you've got a gamepad, and it has buttons A, B, Turbo
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 116) A, Turbo B, Select and Start, and is connected through 5 wires, then it is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 117) either a NES or NES clone and will work with this connection. SNES gamepads
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 118) also use 5 wires, but have more buttons. They will work as well, of course::

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 151) In the era of 8-bit machines, there was something like de-facto standard
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 152) for joystick ports. They were all digital, and all used D-Cannon 9 pin
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 153) connectors (db9). Because of that, a single joystick could be used without
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 154) hassle on Atari (130, 800XE, 800XL, 2600, 7200), Amiga, Commodore C64,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 155) Amstrad CPC, Sinclair ZX Spectrum and many other machines. That's why these
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 156) joysticks are called "Multisystem".

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 233) Multisystem joysticks using db9.c
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 234) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 235)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 236) For the Multisystem joysticks, and their derivatives, the db9.c driver
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 237) was written. It allows only one joystick / gamepad per parallel port, but
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 238) the interface is easy to build and works with almost anything.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 239)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 240) For the basic 1-button Multisystem joystick you connect its wires to the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 241) parallel port like this::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 242)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 243) (pin 1) -----> Power

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 252) However, if the joystick is switch based (eg. clicks when you move it),
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 253) you might or might not, depending on your parallel port, need 10 kOhm pullup
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 254) resistors on each of the direction and button signals, like this::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 255)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 256) (pin 2) ------------+------> Up

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 259)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 260) Try without, and if it doesn't work, add them. For TTL based joysticks /
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 261) gamepads the pullups are not needed.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 262)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 263) For joysticks with two buttons you connect the second button to pin 7 on
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 264) the parallel port::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 265)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 266) (pin 7) -----> Button 2

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 268) And that's it.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 269)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 270) On a side note, if you have already built a different adapter for use with
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 271) the digital joystick driver 0.8.0.2, this is also supported by the db9.c
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 272) driver, as device type 8. (See section 3.2)

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 275) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 276)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 277) For some people just one joystick per parallel port is not enough, and/or
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 278) want to use them on one parallel port together with NES/SNES/PSX pads. This is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 279) possible using the gamecon.c. It supports up to 5 devices of the above types,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 280) including 1 and 2 buttons Multisystem joysticks.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 281)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 282) However, there is nothing for free. To allow more sticks to be used at
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 283) once, you need the sticks to be purely switch based (that is non-TTL), and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 284) not to need power. Just a plain simple six switches inside. If your
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 285) joystick can do more (eg. turbofire) you'll need to disable it totally first
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 286) if you want to use gamecon.c.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 287)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 288) Also, the connection is a bit more complex. You'll need a bunch of diodes,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 289) and one pullup resistor. First, you connect the Directions and the button
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 290) the same as for db9, however with the diodes between::

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 299) For two button sticks you also connect the other button::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 300)

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 321) allows up to 7 Multisystem joysticks connected to the parallel port. In
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 322) Steffen's version, there is support for up to 5 buttons per joystick. However,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 323) since this doesn't work reliably on all parallel ports, the turbografx.c driver
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 324) supports only one button per joystick. For more information on how to build the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 325) interface, see:

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 483) The drivers
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 484) ===========
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 485)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 486) There are three drivers for the parallel port interfaces. Each, as
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 487) described above, allows to connect a different group of joysticks and pads.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 488) Here are described their command lines:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 489)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 490) gamecon.c
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 491) ---------
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 492)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 493) Using gamecon.c you can connect up to five devices to one parallel port. It
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 494) uses the following kernel/module command line::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 495)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 496) gamecon.map=port,pad1,pad2,pad3,pad4,pad5
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 497)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 498) Where ``port`` the number of the parport interface (eg. 0 for parport0).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 499)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 500) And ``pad1`` to ``pad5`` are pad types connected to different data input pins
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 501) (10,11,12,13,15), as described in section 2.1 of this file.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 502)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 503) The types are:

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 518)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 519) The exact type of the PSX controller type is autoprobed when used, so
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 520) hot swapping should work (but is not recommended).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 521)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 522) Should you want to use more than one of parallel ports at once, you can use
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 523) gamecon.map2 and gamecon.map3 as additional command line parameters for two
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 524) more parallel ports.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 525)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 526) There are two options specific to PSX driver portion. gamecon.psx_delay sets
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 527) the command delay when talking to the controllers. The default of 25 should
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 528) work but you can try lowering it for better performance. If your pads don't
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 529) respond try raising it until they work. Setting the type to 8 allows the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 530) driver to be used with Dance Dance Revolution or similar games. Arrow keys are
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 531) registered as key presses instead of X and Y axes.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 536) Apart from making an interface, there is nothing difficult on using the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 537) db9.c driver. It uses the following kernel/module command line::
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 538)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 539) db9.dev=port,type
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 540)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 541) Where ``port`` is the number of the parport interface (eg. 0 for parport0).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 542)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 543) Caveat here: This driver only works on bidirectional parallel ports. If
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 544) your parallel port is recent enough, you should have no trouble with this.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 545) Old parallel ports may not have this feature.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 546)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 547) ``Type`` is the type of joystick or pad attached:
