This is a board for the USBJoy project made by Sergey Ryumik for the Russian magazine “RADIO” (2007,number 1, page 28-31), which was made using the firmware from ObDev that implements USB protocol on the AVR chips.
Basically, it is a PlayStation controller to USB adaptor. (Yes, I play to much videogame and I know it).

Last week my good friend Gabriel invited me to a game party to test his new TV, which has a VGA input that allowed us to display his note screen on the TV. I was working on 3 different projects at the time without a focus on one, but since one of the projects was a board for the USBJoy project that I found on the ObDev site, I rushed to make a prototype of the board to test it and have fun at the same time.
The prototype worked well under Windows XP and Linux, should work on Mac to, since it is a HID (human interface device).
The USBJoy connects Dendy (Russian NES), SEGA Mega Driver II and PlayStation I and II to the computer trough a USB port, but the board that i’m making only works with PlayStation I and II.
Anyway, the layout of the board is ready, I just need to make one board and test it before putting on the site.
So probably this week or the next the project should be up.
