An adapter to interface a NES Mini Controller (an I2C device) with a PC as a generic USB Gamepad; based on an attiny85.The microcontroller uses the v-usb library to create a low-speed usb device (the gamepad) and implements some homemade code in order to process the I2C signals from the controller.A SNES Mini Controller can probably be used with some minor code tweaks (more buttons and probably some I2C transactions adjustments), but not tested yet.The source code for all the project (among with some extra explanations about how it works) is available on my github! https://github.com/theisolinearchip/nesmini_usb_adapter
