ESP32 Tetris With Nintendo 64 Controller
Posted: Mon Jun 24, 2024 2:54 pm
Recently, I got my hands on the ESP32-2432S028R, also known as the ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display. While testing its capabilities, I came across Brian Lough's Tetris code written for the ESP32 that utilizes the Nintendo Wii Nunchuk as an input device. After playing the game with the Nunchuk for a while, I realized that I had a Nintendo 64 controller lying around, so without wasting any more time, I embarked on a journey of adapting this code to work with the Nintendo 64.
It took me roughly an hour of low-load programming mixed with debugging and gameplay to modify the code. Now, let me share the result of that endeavor with you.
You can download the archive with firmware from one of these sources:
