noob question : can vusb be used in reverse ?

[jbf63]

hello ^^)

just discovered the vusb stuff and all the projects around and I'm impressed !

now I've see one project to use 2 old DB9 joysticks as usb joysticks and that make me think, can the vusb be used in reverse ? so as an usb input to DB9 out ? (for using usb joysticks or mouse on old computers like Atari or Amigas per example ?)

I'm new here, so the noobie question

thanks ^^)

-edit- I know that there is already adapters for usb/ps2 mouse to atari/amiga but it works ONLY with PS2 compliant usb mouses ! and there is less mouses of that type availlable/made every day...

Therefore you'd need an USB host. You can't implement a host with V-USB. Maybe there are host software stacks for AVRs but anyway I'd recommend a controller that has more performance, e.g. a STM32 from ST. The result will be much more stable .
