Introducing the new Cyclone RX. Play Amiga games with a PSX gamepad
Most of you liked the idea of being able to play your games with a PSX gamepad, but some of you said
"Hey Mounty, we don't need the gamepad vibration function, how's about taking that out, and while you're at it make it cheaper! And while you're doing that make it smaller and neater!" So that's exactly what we did! We call it the Cyclone RX. I just posted the eBay listing. Check it out! |

Just wondering, can you remap the buttons? It would make sense on some games to map 'up' (jump) to a secondary button. Thanks!

Can it be mapped to another key? R2 isn't that a great choice :/

By the time I'm finished I will need six or seven versions of the firmware. Could you please tell me, what's so bad about the R2 button? |

Well say I am playing a platform game. It would feel natural to me to press X to shoot and SQUARE to jump, or maybe CIRCLE. But X to shoot and R2 to jump I find strange, that's all.

Why does it only support wired controllers? Is it a lack of power?

When I was developing this firmware, 99% of people were saying they wanted the UP button copying to the R2 button. That's why I did it. |

Developing retro hardware is really just a bit of fun for me. My main business is in active crossover filters, and I'm very busy with that right now. |

Why can't you map multiple buttons to jump?

And because there is no enclosure you will lose customers who like there Amiga's to be aesthetically pleasing.
