Does anyone have any details on the serial adapter other than this post:

Was there a SDK that let you load code over it to the players?
Yep and the N64 to Nuon adapter preorder will be going up in Jan on Songbirds site in Jan.
Just placed the order for the first run of boards for the final verification.
Major progress:

We have a stock (knockoff) N64 controller talking to the Nuon. Note this is only tested on the N501 so far with the controller utility, Free Fall (how do you play that game) and Iron Soldier.
Working on getting more games / system to test against. everything maps over 1...
We have analog sticks and buttons working.
Still some issues with controller port locking up over resets I need to sort out but was able to get it working in iron solder and free fall (still have no clue how to play that one)
Still trying to decipher the traces. Right now I am just trying to put together a replay from the real controller and see if I can get past the hang I am currently seeing. With the emulator in at boot the system hangs before the Samsung screen. If I boot up to the controller diags then plug in...
Attaching 6 files. One is a boot trace with no controller attached. The second is the boot with controller. The third set is hot plugging in a controller post boot. I also have the same file annotated with my best guesses. Was hoping to get more done this weekend but home repairs sucked it all up.
Could be still poking here. Been a bit busy lately but trying to put a few hours in a week on this. I think I have enough to try and emulate the controller detection. Going to try and code that up on the second pico and see if I can get a trace while it is running.
Read though the documentation and some of it seems to line up with the traces I have taken (Found the command that transmits the ID then nothing once initialized). But other parts do not. (Documentation says ID 0xFF should be system commands but I don't see any 0xFF anywhere in the transmission...
Thanks for the link will try and dig though it this week. I "think" I am getting good traces now. Going to try and collect a few sets of traces of the real remote and try and see what I can pick out on the init strings. Have the button packet figured out but running into issues that lock up the...
Yea found the forum posts on the rotary controller looks like when you restrap the polyface chip it will take rotary inputs.
