The SoC that powers WavePhoenix supports the Bluetooth LE stack, so some level of Bluetooth controller support is possible, just not full Bluetooth Classic support like blue retro has.

🤦 you're so right. I wonder if you could integrate the two of them together to create something that does full Bluetooth (assuming that the Wavephoenix isn't a powerhouse and just tanks it like a champ) and native Wavebird.

This is more of a what-if style proof of concept, I wondered if it would be be handy to have a direct GameCube Wavebird USB receiver utilizing my variant of the @loopj.com Wavephoenix. Turns out it wasn't too difficult to put together, and it actually looks fairly clean (but looks can be deceiving).

WaveBirds are incredible controllers - but original receivers are getting harder to find and more expensive. I'm hoping WavePhoenix gives a second life to WaveBirds whose owners have lost their receivers!

Here’s a fun render from @weskmods.bsky.social of 4 WavePhoenix receivers in a Kawaii dock! I actually designed the case explicitly to fit in the Kawaii (bitbuilt.net/forums/index...)

My own take at a #wavephoenix Wavebird adapter shell. Very much inspired by @collingall.bsky.social and @loopj.com, and of course the official Wavebird adapter. Secured with a single screw. While it's little bit larger than the other ones, it's still very small! (WIP)

Well your approach is probably gonna be better than mine. I simply bolted it to a RP2040.

Courtesy of a friend I finally finished my WavePhoenix units for personal use. He printed the shells for me and I crimped a few more plugs. @loopj.com I like the snap-fit design but I feel the tolerances on the lid could be improved. #Nintendo #GameCube #RETROGAMING
