Hello i´m trying to build a PSX2MSX v4.0 adapter, but i dont have any info, no diagrams, let me know if anyone of you have this hardware joystick device and if there is any diagrams available to try build by myself, today is imposible to buy it. Also should be needed the IC code from this device to program the chip. I know is much to ask but if anyone knows about diagrams or have the device will be great to know how is builded to try build one by myself.
Thanks a lot.

Ah, you need the schematic of the converter...isn't it possible to buy a PSX to USB converter and use this (SMS plugs are the same right?) which is a usb2SMS controller.

Maybe this is also very interesting.
It has a schematic for usb and atari/msx port.

Isn't that the other way around? Psx2msx is for connecting a psx controller to your MSX, retro USB is for connecting your old controllers to your pc via USB

I've been toying with the idea to use an Arduino for it. Code is publicly available for using an ps3 joypad with an arduino. Then its just a matter of wiring up a db9 connector and drive that with some extra code that translates the joypad input to the db9 output.

Hello, the Arduino way could be fine, but make much work i think, i dont very much familiar with the Arduino device, anyways, looking for PSX-MSX adapter joystick i found in the forum a post talking about "Sunrise PSX-to-MSX Joystick converter" Then Sunrise made it in the past, i´m wonder if they could make more again.
I mailed to Rob Hiep (Sunrise) to ask about that "Sunrise PSX-to-MSX Joystick converter".
