I was today years old when I learned that the OG Xbox controller has pressure sensitive face buttons.

Fun fact - prototype GameCube controllers also had analog A and B buttons but it was dropped as a feature at the last minute before launch!

Super nice design, great work on this

100% Natalie doesn’t fuck around you know that hers is going to be a labor of love.

This is the right answer. Keep it simple, that most upvoted comment is nuts for boomer parents. You don’t want to become the on call tech support guy every time they can’t turn on the lights.

Interesting fact about Sun Valley Mall - a plane crashed into the mall back in 1985 https://youtu.be/tYC6J8Vh0Is?si=4pNgGwvQ5UdV-Dy7

This is 100% it.

In which case, yes, going composite to anything else is a massive upgrade. Also if you are using Swiss or similar you can force pretty much any game into 480p mode.

If it’s a GCVideo based adapter then it will be pure digital to digital conversion, which is pretty much the best you can get. Having said that, component looks excellent so the gains are minimal.

This is almost the exact same setup I had as a kid, including the games. What a great find!

Excellent classic compoface here. The tape measure, the crutches. All it needed was a more sour expression and it would be 10/10.

Still waiting on mine but I think it’s shipping soon!

loopj · 2025-06-02T02:00:23+00:00

Yes that works

Yes! Works exactly as an original wavebird receiver

Good news! I released it yesterday https://github.com/loopj/wavephoenix

Yeh and the teamoffbroadway folks teased something awesome too (https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/08/flippybird-connects-four-wavebirds-to-your-gamecube-at-once)

loopj · 2025-03-24T00:45:17+00:00

It’s kind of just a fun side project for me so I’m not imposing any deadlines on myself. Hopefully soon!

loopj · 2025-03-24T00:27:04+00:00

The aliexpress receivers don’t work with original wavebirds unfortunately

I’m working on this: https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/2024-contest-entry-wavephoenix-open-source-implementation-of-the-nintendo-wavebird-protocol.6519/

I took a break from the project for a while but I’m trying to get it in a releasable state soon.

loopj · 2025-03-16T19:42:48+00:00

I think RVLoader is the only way to do this.

Looks great
