Game Boy Advance: Bluetooth HID Gamepad

Description

This is a circuit that I designed in 2021 to use the Game Boy Advance as a gamepad for PC. The idea is not mine but Shyri Villar‘s. I only designed a custom PCB to fit into the Nintendo wireless adapter casing.

In theory, the circuit should work as it follows Shyri Villar’s schematic. However, I never managed to flash the code (due to a lack of experience and difficulties in compiling it). I did successfully flash a blink code without any issues.
