Convert To USB

The main goal oft his project was to connect an old Dendy (Russian modification of SNES) joystick to a PC over USB. I decided not to use any of known adapters. I created the whole new PCB instead, adding an ATMega8 microcontroller which runs USB software implementation from http://obdev.at . Then I developed a PC application which translates data coming from joystick into keyboard events. Thus I was able to fake keyboard key presses and play virtually any game with old good SNES joystick

P.S. You can even type in Notepad with it
