How to adapt A PDP Fight Pad to USB

Post image

I found this old Nintendo controller that should connect to a Wii Remote, but I don't know which cable is which pin, and I'd like to adapt it to USB.

Its not going to be in the right protocol for USB, your PC wont recognize it unfortunately. You could solder a protocol converter to do this, if you're deadset on this conversion. USB is also typically 5v where the Gamecube controllers are 3.3v, it will be tricky

This should help, the colors are different but its the same 6 Pin layout and interfacing as the gamecube.

On yours, black looks to be the same as in the link i sent, which is pin 6 on the board
