GBA as a USB Joypad

Quick demo of me turning my GBA into a USB joypad for my computer. Once connected, it can run in any game emulator or you can use JoyToKey to make it do more fun stuff (like mouse cursor control). I also demonstrate a side project I'm working on just for fun.

so how's that link cable called? Flash To Advance?

@J05TI F2A USB cable. yes. They're not produced anymore so if you want one you'll have to search around considerably.

sucks i have to buy this lol i wish i could just use the usb charging cable to do this :'(

[DanTheManMS]

@723STONER that said, if you do manage to find a F2A cable, know that you need to rename one file before it will work like my video. I'm thinking it's something like "f2a_ultra.bix" but I'm not sure. It also requires Windows XP or lower, driver issues and such. I tried Vista and Win7 but it didn't work.

let me ask you a question, where would i get the programs/files needed to do this? ive been looking for something like this forever

[DanTheManMS]

@synystersk8board ahah, completely forgot that I responded to you 3 months ago. I blame the rum.

[J05TI]

@DanTheManMS i did. i didnt find anything though. still thanks for replying

[DanTheManMS]

@synystersk8board late response I know, but do a Google search for "reinerziegler" - GBA section.

@723STONER buying a F2A USB cable nowadays might be, well, difficult. I bought mine in 2004 but even then they were kinda rare.
