MISTER SNAC help

[pixeljunkie]

Bought one of these - cannot for the life of me get it to work.

SNAC PC Engine

This SNAC adapter is custom built for the PC Engine, which requires faster level shifters than SNAC/SNAX for turbo functionality. While SNAC/SNAX Work fine otherwise, this adapter works with all known original controller hardware. The original design was lovingly created by PC Engine enthusiast...

Says it "plugs directly into the User port of the IO board."...which I have done. What could I be missing?! I've tried it with every USB port. I feel like it's probably fine and I am not doing something correctly. I have my keyboard plugged in, my other controllers all work. My PCE controller also works fine with my other PCE SNAC adapter...it's just this thing.

Ive got a bunch of snac adapters someone gave me for free and i cant get any of them to work. Spent like 30 minutes trying with the sega genesis one then gave up. Lol

Need to use the not usb userport

Need to use the not usb userport

Thats what I assumed as well, but after it not working I saw this:



Still no worky

User port on IO board. Digital or Analog…whichever.

But no port on the USB hub board will support the adapters

You then need to go into the supported core and enable the adapter. Some will be SNAC, some will be “serial”

If still not working use the “swap joystick” option as this will reassign the port. Cores can be picky about what port the SNAC adapter controller is on.

If none of that is working you either A) have a bad adapter or 2 ) a way old IO board. What rev PCB add you YAJ f.

That did it!~ Thanks! So, is it not possible to use this for the menu controls? It seems like it only works in the game.

From what i heard it cant control the menus, which makes the idea pretty useless.

Agreed. But the rapid fire does work better.

It’s because the menus work on the overarching OS that the cores load from and there is no way to run those via serial. So yes the core menus will not function with the SNAC / SNAX adapters.

Just a hardware limitation of how the whole platform works. Truth be told I don’t use SNAC much but I do have it.

Glad it worked. It’s not hard, but it’s “tricky” until you get it working once and remember the process

The menu is a core itself, not part of linux

It’s talking with the OS in so much as you can add lines of code into certain OS files that can pass a signal through to address the menu options…at least in some cores from what I’ve seen done

Let's not discuss how Linux works with a senior Linux engineer, eh?

Lol, negro please

I guess you never discuss how dildos work with @neo_mao then…
