Microsoft Sidewinder Gameport2USB Box

A simple box to house a USB port along with a Gameport, meant to function as a Microsoft Sidewinder Gameport2USB adapter.

Note this adapter is only a replacement for the adapter that came with the device, it won't work with older Sidewinder devices or normal PC gameport joysticks and doesn't leave enough room for a microcontroller.

Pinout:

USB pin 1 (red, Vbus) --> GP pin 1 (5V)
USB pin 2 (white, D-) --> GP pin 14 (BY2)
USB pin 3 (green, D+) --> GP pin 10 (BY1)
USB pin 4 (black, GND) --> GP pin 4 (GND)

USB shield --> GP shield
GP pin 2 (BX1) --> GP pin 7 (BX2) (puts joystick into USB mode)
