Changing input mode

By default the input mode is set to OG Xbox, you must hold a button combo for 3 seconds to change which platform you want to play on. Your chosen input mode will persist after powering off the device.

Hardware

For the Pi Pico, RP2040-Zero, 4 channel, and ESP32 configurations, please see the hardware folder for diagrams.

I've designed a PCB for the RP2040-Zero so you can make a small form-factor adapter yourself. The gerber files, schematic, and BOM are in Hardware folder.

If you would like a prebuilt unit, you can purchase one, with cable and Xbox adapter included, from my Etsy store.

Adding supported controllers

If your third party controller isn't working, but the original version is listed above, send me the device's VID and PID and I'll add it so it's recognized properly.

Compiling

You can compile this for different boards with CMake arguments while configuring the project.

Choosing OGXM_PI_PICO will set the D+ and D- host pins to GPIO 0 and 1.

You can also choose OGXM_RPZERO_INTERPOSER for the RP2040-Zero and that will set D+ and D- to GPIO 10 and 11, so connecting a USB port is easier. You can still use the Pi Pico firmware on the RP2040-Zero (the other way around has not been tested though).
