Anyone converted a Philips Roller Controller (22ER9012) to USB for use with MiSTer FPGA?

d3rax — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 09:53:08 +0000

Hi all,

I picked up an original Philips CD-i Roller Controller (22ER9012) and would like to use it with the CD-i core on MiSTer FPGA. Rather than going the SNAC level-shifting route (which the CD-i core’s SNAC documentation flags as potentially problematic for some pointing devices due to voltage-level mismatches), I’m considering converting it into a standard USB HID mouse instead.

The idea: tap the trackball’s quadrature signals directly from the optical encoders (bypassing the original CD-i serial protocol entirely) and feed them into a small microcontroller (Arduino Pro Micro/Leonardo) running USB HID mouse firmware. That way it would work as a plug-and-play USB mouse — usable in the CD-i core via a regular USB port, and also on a PC for things like ScummVM.

Before I start cutting into the PCB, I wanted to ask:

• Has anyone here already done this conversion (for any system, not just CD-i), or seen one documented?

• Does anyone have photos, traces, or a schematic of the Roller Controller’s internal PCB showing the encoder/sensor pinout? I’ve found references to the LTE-302 (IR emitter) and LTR-301 (phototransistor) parts used inside, but no full wiring diagram.

• Any known quirks with this specific unit’s signal levels or wiring I should watch out for?

hey @shikotei

There's a bug where after beating the first boss, the game loops you back to the beginning. I've tried using different roms and deleting the INI file but nothing seems to work. I'm not sure why this is occurring but if you could fix this then that would be a great help.
