摘要: The invention is a multi-port video game controller interface which provides supports for at least two multifunctional controllers via single microcomputer I/O bus connector.

A program operating personal computer polls separate addresses within space receive information from different controllers. Jumper blocks map each plurality and distinct addresses, avoid conflicts provide flexibility.
