Abstract: The Adapter is coupled to a keyboard, and one or multiple video game control devices, including widely available directional game pads and joysticks designed for other video game platforms. The Adapter is in turn coupled to the keyboard port of a personal computer. During the Function mode, button presses or other input decision actions observed at the video game controller result in a key scan code being sent to the personal computer's keyboard port based on a user-defined association list. During the Program mode, the association list is reconfigured in one of three ways, two of which are achieved automatically through a reconfiguration program running on the computer. The third way of reconfiguring the Adapter involves the user manually associating one or multiple keyboard key presses to a particular button press or other input decision action at the video game controller.
