Can the GCW Zero Support USB Controllers?
« on: April 19, 2015, 04:40:49 pm »
Just a quick question, is the Zero able to support Usb controllers? I think this has been asked before, but any new news on it? Thanks!

At this time, no.  The developers are fighting a glitch where the USB driver has the tendency to cook devices you connect to USB, if I remember correctly.

even worse, I believe it cooks the console, not the attached device.

Thanks, Atlantis_Risen -- I knew it cooked something, just couldn't remember which.

Sounds like a hardware issue. I could understand not working because of software but "cooking" That's weird.

Regarding the USB and HDMI from Kickstarter yesterday,

"Yes we are still working toward implementing promised features at a slower pace but yes I will be funding and have funded the devs with small stimpents for all the hard great work they do and will continue to do so. I'm still seeking a specialist for the USB portion to finish the beta driver we have for USB OTG and HDMI driver."
