Bit of a long shot, but if anyone happens to have any Phillips CDI controllers, I'd be interested in buying them..

The one's I'm cooking up work, but they're not going to be the real thing.

what's the interface? infrared?
Are there emulators?
Wondering if there's a Palm/Handspring app

The model I have can use either infrared or a 8-pin mini-DIN port for a wired connection. There are a few very primitive emulators, but there's not a lot of "community" behind the CDI to keep them up to date like some other consoles.

I did find an adapter which uses some sort of microcontroller to adapt SEGA Genesis controllers over to CDI on eBay, but I'm not sure I want to spend that kind of money on it before I've had a chance to work on our own "modded" controllers.

I found a CDI controller... kinda. I found a seller with an official corded CDI trackball, and after seeing some YouTubers and Reddit posters say that everything was "perfectly playable" on the trackball, I went ahead and grabbed it. I figure if we get it here and determine taht it's unbearable to play with, we still have many options to get some more "real" controllers too.

Hoping I have time to begin my mad experiments to build our own tonight!
