Hello.
I want to create a hardware Mod for my old3DSXL v. 9.9.0 26 U that allows you to use a micro USB NES controller. I have knowledge in C++ and am learning ARM assembly. I am just a beginner, so I don't really know where to start or how to work with the old3DSXL's SoC Integrated Circuits. I am not an electrical engineer, but I am willing to learn both the hardware and software aspects of this Mod. I am willing to learn whatever it takes to make this work and I accept the risks. What should I learn about to get started on this hardware Mod? I don't know anything about the PCB or how to get the buttons on the controller to react to the 3DS. I also am not sure how to interface a micro USB port to my 3DS.
Can someone tell me what exactly I would need to know about the 3DSXL (PCB, ARM9 assembly, etc.) To actually have the knowledge and skills to pull of this Mod?
P.S. I am not asking how to do this Mod. I am aware that people cannot tell me step by step what to do. I just need to know what information is needed for this Mod. I am planning on using an original NES controller and connect it to a NES-to-usb adapter, then connect that end to a USB-microUSB adapter, then attach it to the modded port of my 3DSXL.
