Hey everybody! If I understand this correctly, I can build a adapter for my Saturn twin sticks so they work on a Dreamcast.

After programming the STM32F411, when I connect it to the PC through the USB-C to use the VMU Dumper, the computer recognizes it as a USB Disc and the VMU Dumper says there is no adapter connected. Is this the expected behavior with this new board or do I have some problem? Thanks!

That is normal behavior, as the VMU content is now accessible as an external USB drive.

Megavolt85 if it's not too much trouble, I could make a small modification in the VMU emulator Firmware with the STM32F103.
whenever the STM32F103 is going to write/delete some save in the 25PEXX, it presses the reset button of the STM32F103.
Making it work normally, the annoying thing is that I have to do it manually, if you have a way to add this function in the firmware of the VMU emulator I would really appreciate it.

Is the STM32F401 firmware still in beta?

EDIT: If someone has the beta firmware for the F401 let me know, thanks!

Unfortunately, the STM32F103 has a lot of fakes and each has a different SPI and GPIO speed, out of three STMs bought from one seller, the PS / 2 mouse only worked on two.
the problem is the quality of the chips themselves, I can't do anything.

the project is abandoned, but most of the features work.
Here is the latest assembled version, the vibration does not work for the PlayStation controllers.
