I've loaded it on my fpga board (with a few adjustments), but it simply didn't work. From reading the vhdl code I understand that it doesn't implement several of the commands used on the wii side (like 0x9000 - usbgecko detection), and it seems to contain some strange bugs which I haven't yet figured out exactly (if you're interested, check what happens when the usbmode flag is set). Sorry to hijack your blog comments, but it looks like all the official usbgecko support channels have mysteriously disappeared. Has anyone tried to actually use the provided vhdl code?

It will also open the PCB artwork. There isn't a lot going on in the schematic, though; it's just an Altera CPLD, generic flash memory, and an FTDI USB to parallel converter. The real magic is happening inside the CPLD, which is a an array of logic gates and blocks that can be programmed to act like a custom built semiconductor. @Tex©: You can download the Altium Designer Viewer from http://altium.com/community/downloads/downloads_home.cfm.

I sort of wish they'd get their site back up, but I'm very glad they BSD licensed the entire thing! How long till an Arduino Gecko I wonder? Yeah I saw this right before I ordered my USBGecko.

This product is the most used and useful one on our team in terms of Wii homebrew development. Anyway, if you do care you can just build your own adapter now. Nice move, nuke! @tech3475: This isn’t even closely related to mass production, and for that the official price tag was just fine.
