Sony patent application reveals universal, LCD-based game controller

Sony patent application reveals universal, LCD-based game controller

Well, here’s a bit of an odd one. A recent patent application from Sony has not only revealed an LCD-based game controller (which would be notable enough in itself), but an LCD-based, universal game controller that’s designed to work with more than one game console. As you can see above, the touchscreen would be able to accommodate various buttons and layouts for different consoles — Sony even curiously mentions consoles like the Amiga CD-32 and Atari Jaguar (for emulation, perhaps?), in addition to Microsoft and Nintendo — and the screen itself would be housed in what Sony describes as a “game controller skin.” Of course, this is still just an application for a patent, and we’re pretty sure Sony is focused on another controller at the moment.

Xbox 360 controller ingeniously hacked for NES use

Hey, it’s just what you’ve always wanted: to use your Xbox 360 controller on your old NES. Using a Cortex M3 processor left over from a school robotics project, Francois Gervais managed to rig his wireless pad to control something decidedly less advanced than a game of Modern Warfare 2. There’s a video of the controller in action after the break, and you can grab some of the code being used in the Google link below — perhaps one of you brainiacs will finally hack the Wiimote to control a Jaguar. A tech writer can dream…
