&gt; Simply open a text editor on your target PC (eg notepad, edit, vi), then hold HIDman&#x27;s power button for a few seconds. The menu will be typed out into your text editor.<p>That&#x27;s very cool and clever.

You know this will end up in some power plant or military facility to get another 30 years out of something that works and no one wants to deal with. Very cool project.

&gt; Hub support can be hit-and-miss. This is (mostly) not HIDman&#x27;s fault - many modern hubs don&#x27;t support low-speed USB devices properly.<p>Just... how? USB hubs have been around for &gt; 2 decades, the IP cores for USB 1 used in hub chips should have stabilized <i>long</i> ago...

I use Pico PS2 from here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;No0ne&#x2F;ps2x2pico">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;No0ne&#x2F;ps2x2pico</a> and the related PiKVM integration. The hardware setup is much simpler: just a pico and a signal level converter.

Hopefully something like this will be adapted for Atari Joystick Port.<p>The existing solutions for that are proprietary hardware or firmware.

Now, if only this supported ADB too...
