I got lucky with finding Information on reddit about how the F1C100s boots up. I got even luckier when I found "licheepi-nano-mainline" by goediy on github. With his repository I was able to make a bootable SD Card. The image is targeted towards the Li Chee nano dev board but hopefully I can modify the image to add drivers. If not then ill just play with embedded linux on my Zynq 7000.

This wouldve taken me one day to do with an RP2040 using PIO. Im trying to get more experience with the esp32 chips. Stm32 and FPGAs also. I've already made a program for the pi pico to generate composite video with basic 3D model rendering.

Your right ! I have been lacking in my digital studies. Havent touched an fpga in a while.

Added a link to github in the description. I wired the controller's D-PAD outputs to the arduino so the DPAD acts as the joystick and since barely any n64 games use the dpad its not a problem.

Ya i mean im happy i got all the buttons working and its not hard to write code to follow the SNES controller protocol since you just gotta emulate a shift register but i ran out of ideas to fix the data lagging. You can see when i hold the down button mario gets glitchy and turns because left is the next button in the protocol and the data pin is just not going back high fast enough.

nope ! runs great

Search Andrew Brown Gamecube to N64 on github it explains everything

The arduino code is just Serial Read for the python 3 input and tone statements that are on the arduino site

I believe it is the TV compensating, I'll have to try different resistors next time. I really wanted to get GBA Advance LCD signals and have them go through the DE0-Nano and then come out as VGA but I ran out of time and stuff like that requires good quality adapters

@@theengineer9910 I've done a bit of work on that myself. hehe My first test was getting the N64 digital video to work via HDMI, using DE1 dev board. I then did the same for Dreamcast and Game Cube. I managed to get the Game Boy Player to power up as stand alone. The GBP actually has some test pads for the 15-bit LCD signals, and the button inputs for the joypad. I was going to do an HDMI mod for it, but got stuck into redesigning the N64 and Dreamcast motherboards instead. lol

@@theengineer9910 The GBA has a slightly non-standard refresh rate, btw. I think it was closer to 58Hz, so some displays might not work directly with it. I did a spreadsheet calc before, to work out which crystal freq to get the refresh very close to 60Hz. I believe the "GBA Consolizer" by Woozle does the same thing, by feeding in a clock from the FPGA board.

Looks like the DE0 Nano... www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=165&No=593&PartNo=1 (not to be confused with the DE10 Nano, which is what the MiSTer retro platform is based on.) Both boards are ideal for getting starting with FPGAs, though. The DE0 Nano is one of the most common used by schools and Universities atm.

DE0-Nano from Adafruit

Awesome thx bro means a lot ! I thought I would get notifications for comments but guess not(Just lookin through videos as I do once in a while), ya that show blew me away totally didn't expect it to get that good. Crazy you found my channel through my comment hahahahaha I will look at your channel

Also I'm obsessed with exposed Tech ! Ya casings can always look good and do the job but seeing the insides just gives it an Art feeling to me, I love Computer Hardware
