Infrared/Wireless DC Controller

Post by ScampDoodle »

Hi All,

Last night I had a strange thought, probably due to me wanting a Wii.

What are the chances of making my DC controller wireless?

Either by infrared or bluetooth?

My initial thought was that Id attach a receiver to the controller port, and then attach the signal out to the DC controller cable...

Any thoughts/ ideas?

Also so you know if this would work on multiples? or would the signals get confused?

you can do this without opening and soldering, but you will need 3 things

1. PSX to dreamcast controller adapter
2. dreamcast to PSX controller adapter
3. wireless PSX controller adapter

There's a third party wireless DC contrioller. It's like a Saturn pad, it's nice.

I also remember that there was talk about asking Messiah to do a set of Wireless Dreamcast controllers...
