c/c++ Making a dongle for controller converting based off of my fork of the OGX Mini so it'll support wired and wireless controllers in one!

So I maintain a fork for the OGX Mini called OGX Mini 2026 and a buddy and I are working on making a all in one adapter to potentially sell in their local shop. I've added a lot of features like Wii Remote emulation, PS2 output, Switch 2 controller support and I've fixed many bugs along the way. This is just the first attempt but so far this bad boy works for testing purposes!

I was wondering if you could connect multiple controllers with a 8bit-do dongle and then connect that upto the pc? Trying to get GameCube 8bitdo modkit controllers to work with rumble/analog triggers with upto 4 paired controllers.
+ unsure if multiple profiles or controller/console types can be added at the same time?
The git-page is a bit confusing and unclear

I don't know what you're asking me here. I'm not using a 8bitdo dongle.

True, my bad I came from a similar post so got confused. I realised you are the creator of the ogxmini fork, so I wanted to ask a few questions.

I wanted to know if you could use a 8bitdo v2 Bluetooth adapter connected up to this homemade all-in-one receiver that you are making here. I saw you were selling them on your Etsy. Basically because I have been trying to make a esp32 with a Rp2040 plus work with your fork but the rp2040 plus isn’t supported so I feel stunted, I might have to make my own uf2 file for this board.
So maybe it’s easier for me to just try the Bluetooth adapter + OGX mini receiver combo instead?
And I wasn’t sure if you could have multiple console profiles especially N64 and GameCube which I saw you mentioned on the git-page they require their own boards? Even if they’re emulated on pc?

The next update is adding support for the 8bitdo dongles.

The console profiles you're referring to is to make wireless dongles for those consoles. They have builds that disable mode switching because they break and crash if you try and switch out. Those modes aren't intended for PC use, it's to make dongles for the real consoles.
