Could you add controller support for the retrode 2 usb, so that you're able to play with your original controller? would be great! :)

    There is no USB controller support in libogc so that would be something that would need to be added by them first, and i am not sure if this is possible since retrode is actually seen as USB drive only.

    Honestly, you are better with buying a specific genesis adapter for wii, there are a few which adapt to a gamecube controller port and even one that can be connected to the wiimote and makes genesis controller as classic controller. I have both and they work great, see the main page for some link.

    The Retrode actually follows the USB Keyboard boot protocol in [HIDMode] 3. I'd be surprised if extra libraries were needed to support that...

    So the Retrode is seen as a USB hub, with a HDD and a keyboard attached ? I am still not sure how libogc is handling this, sure both types of device are supported separately but together i don't know (though i admit i don't know much about usb protocol).

    Anyway, since i don't have an usb keyboard neither a retrode to test with, there are very little chance it's going to happen.

    You might as well just ask me for a Retrode :)

    I could indeed, but i know how much it costs and don't think it's fair to ask you this kind of things, it's your business afterall.
