If memory serves, for the EZMouse I used the middle-mouse button pin in output mode, and multiplexed the extra signals similar to how a Megadrive pad works: with the MMB pin in a low state, the wheel button is mapped to the left button, the fourth button, if present, is mapped to the right button, and wheel events are mapped to the lowest bit of each mouse counter.

Indeed, i'm pretty sure the Mroocheck and PS2m and derivatives all use the MMB pin for this as well.

No protocol. IBrowse scrolls the window when you hold the middle mouse button and move the mouse.

Freewheel has some support to force scrolling on MUI toolbars by IDCMP events (mouse scrolling).

I just tried and here it works. as soon as i run FreeWheel scrolling works in iBrowse.

Note that i'm using a USB Mouse over Poseidon + the v50 input.device from Ralph Schmidt.

However this should work with any FreeWheel compatible mouse driver (Cocolino/PS2m have them).

I know for a fact that reading wheel on USB side of mouse and emulate FreeWheel (hold middle mouse and move up/down) on Amiga port side works, have it working in WildPort since January 2015. Also nailed stable CD32 pad emulation around the same time. Not that it matters much as long as there is no product released.

BTW I successfully flashed the device and now have working autofire buttons. Thanks again, folks. Loving this gizmo.

Hi, vroom6sri. Yes, I'm using Freewheel. I've made some tests with Cocolino software and noticed that it registers some kind of activity when middle button is pressed while wheel is moved, but nothing that I could use for scrolling.

Another problem is, wheel button is already assigned for mode selection and sometimes mouse speed changes when the button is pressed. However, I could not yet understand exactly how this works.

Except for that limitation, I really like the little adapter! My old serial mouse was making me crazy

I got SUM Keyboard adapter on my A600 with Vampire, and I love it.

A few programs doesnt seem to like the combination;

Hippoplayer
Protracker 362
THX

I should add that I have disconnected/removed my floppydrive, so the USB cable can fit thru there. Sadly the USB cable is too short to be dragged thru the RF Modulator hole in the case.

Anyone had similar issues? I guess I should test if reinstalling the floppydrive will fix this crashing/freezing...

[Overflow]

Reinstalled the Floppydrive, and Hippoplayer stopped crashing/freezing the computer.

Protracker 362 and THX still freeze the computer, altho its not really of any consequence since I dont really use them...

One for the compatibility list. The Arendo CSL vertical mouse (wireless) works perfectly fine with Rys MK II.

Hi Spidi, I hope you still read this thread and are open for more ys MkII irmware updates. As also can be seen in this thread http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=86497 On my CD32 I'm using a combination of:

Rys MkII with latest firmware
8Bitdo wireless USB adapter: https://www.8bitdo.com/wireless-usb-adapter/
8Bitdo SF30Pro (not plus) wireless controller and PS4 dual shock controller

Both controllers work fine in joystick, pad & CD32 modes. However, the button mapping is totally weird and confusing. Can I still provide you with the info using the tools mentioned earlier in this thread so you can provide an updated firmware?

[spudje]

I figured out the mapping and USB info:

Wireless connector

Device Descriptor:
bcdUSB:             0x0200
bDeviceClass:         0x00
bDeviceSubClass:      0x00
bDeviceProtocol:      0x00
bMaxPacketSize0:      0x40 (64)

idProduct:          0x3100
bcdDevice:          0x0001
iManufacturer:        0x01
0x0409: "8BitDo

Button mapping of wireless 8bitdo SN30 Pro = SF30 Pro (not SF30Pro+)

Left analog stick button (L3)	Button 14
Right analog stick		Z Axis & Z Rotation
Right analog stick button (R3)	Button 15

Preferred mapping (Rys MkII CD32 emulation mode):
I corrected my original info, my thinking was wrong. Of course you can't change the mapping between the wireless controller and the receiver. Only between the receiver and the CD32.

D-pad				POV Hat		--> CD32 D-Pad
Left analog stick		X & Y Axis	--> CD32 D-Pad (Is that possible map this to both D-Pad and left analog stick?)
Left analog stick button (L3)	Button 14	--> No CD32 mapping
Right analog stick		Z Axis & Z Rot	--> No CD32 mapping
Right analog stick button (R3)	Button 15	--> No CD32 mapping
Select				Button 11	--> Together with button 12 operation mode switch
Start				Button 12	--> Together with button 11 operation mode switch
Blue X				Button 4	--> CD32 blue button
Green Y				Button 5	--> CD32 green button
Red A				Button 1	--> CD32 red button  
Yellow B			Button 2	--> CD32 yellow button
Home				Button 3	--> No CD32 mapping (If this is mapped in joystick and pad mode, please also replace this with other button)
L1				Button 7	--> CD32 L button (<<)
L2				Button 9	--> Autofire 2
R1				Button 8	--> CD32 R button (>>)
R2				Button 10	--> Autofire 1

I'll send Spidi a pm as well, hoping he can bake this in a new firmware.

Unfortunately no response from Spidi yet Still hoping they're still willing to make a new firmware to (better) support this wireless adapter.
