DGC-255

This controller has one handle (5 power notches and 8+emergency brake notches), a D-Pad and 6 buttons (Select, Start, A, B, C, D).

Internally, it is a HID-compliant joystick with two axes, 6 buttons and a PoV hat switch (the handle positions are reported via axes).

Besides the PoV hat switch, it reports the same data as a DGOC-44U controller. The games check if the controller has a PoV hat switch to distinguish between a DGC-255 and a DGOC-44U.

DGOC-44U

This controller has two handles (5 power notches and 8+emergency brake notches) and 6 buttons (Select, Start, A, B, C, D).

Internally, it is a HID-compliant joystick with two axes and 6 buttons (the handle positions are reported via axes).

The controller sends reports to the host (PC) formed by 6 bytes:

The values for the brake notch byte are the following. There are 5 unmarked positions between B8 and Emergency, but unlike classic controllers, they are all report the value for Emergency.

The values for the power notch byte are listed below.

The button byte uses six bits to represent the state of the physical buttons. 0 means that the button is released and 1 that it is pressed.

DRC-184/DYC-288

No details are available regarding internal functioning.

TCPP-20009/TCPP-20012

This controller has two handles (5 power notches and 8+emergency brake notches), a D-Pad and 6 buttons (Select, Start, A, B, C, D). In addition, it provides a door lamp and a 3.5 mm jack connector to plug a horn pedal. There are two rumble motors, one in each handle.

Internally, it is a HID device with a vendor-specific class.

Input

The controller sends reports to the host (PS2) formed by 6 bytes:

The values for the brake notch byte are the following.

The values for the power notch byte are listed below.

The pedal byte has two possible values depending on the state of the pedal.

The D-pad byte represents the state of the arrow buttons. If two opposite directions are pressed simultaneously, the result is Center unless a third button is pressed.

The button byte uses six bits to represent the state of the physical buttons. 0 means that the button is released and 1 that it is pressed. A bitmask can be used to retrieve the buttons.

Output

The controller supports receiving data via a control transfer to turn on/off the door lamp and provide rumble. The setup packet is as follows:

The data sent to the controller follows the structure below.

• Status: defines whether the function specified in byte 2 is Off (0x00) or On (0x01).
• Function: 0x01 is Left rumble, 0x02 is Right rumble, 0x03 is Door lamp.

TCPP-20011

This controller has two handles (13 power notches and 7+emergency brake notches), a D-Pad and 6 buttons (Select, Start, A, B, C, D). In addition, it provides a simple display, a door lamp and a 3.5 mm jack connector to plug a horn pedal. There are two rumble motors, one in each handle.

Internally, it is a HID device with a vendor-specific class.

Input

The controller sends reports to the host (PS2) formed by 6 bytes:

The values for the brake notch byte are the following.

The values for the power notch byte are listed below.

The pedal byte has two possible values depending on the state of the pedal.

The D-pad byte represents the state of the arrow buttons. If two opposite directions are pressed simultaneously, the result is Center unless a third button is pressed.

The button byte uses six bits to represent the state of the physical buttons. 0 means that the button is released and 1 that it is pressed. A bitmask can be used to retrieve the buttons.

Output

The controller supports receiving data via a control transfer to update the screen, turn on/off the door lamp and provide rumble. The setup packet is as follows:

The data sent to the controller follows the structure below.

• Left/right rumble: 0x00 is Off, 0x01 is On.
• Door lamp: 0x0? is Off, 0x8? is On.
• Limit approach: values between 0x?0 and 0x?A representing the number of LEDs lit above the speedometer. In-game, these mark the 10 km/h right below the speed limit.
• Speed gauge: values between 0x00 and 0x16 representing the number of LEDs lit on the speed gauge. LED #23 cannot be lit. In-game, these mark 15 km/h increments in the current speed, with one lit when speed is 1-15 km/h, two when 16-30 km/h, etc.
• Speedometer: values between 0x0000 and 0x0999 representing the current speed. Values are encoded with BCD 8421 (i.e. 120 km/h should be represented as 0x0120, NOT 0x0078).
• ATC limit: values between 0x0000 and 0x0999 representing the ATC speed limit. Values are encoded with BCD 8421 (i.e. 120 km/h should be represented as 0x0120, NOT 0x0078).

Multi-byte values should be stored in Little Endian.

TCPP-20014

This controller has two handles (4 power notches and an analogue brake handle with three areas), a D-Pad and 7 buttons (Select, Start, Horn, Announce, Camera, Left doors, Right doors). In addition, it provides a 3.5 mm jack connector to plug a horn pedal.

Internally, it is a HID device with a vendor-specific class.

Input

The controller sends reports to the host (PS2) formed by 8 bytes:

Unlike traditional controllers, the brake handle is analogue and the brake byte reflects the position of the handle precisely. There are three areas with the ranges listed below, plus the emergency notch.

When using the controller with Densha de GO! Professional 2 or Densha de GO! Final, the brake handle is interpreted as having 6 brake notches + emergency. The aproximate byte range for each notch is listed below (taken from Densha de GO! Professional 2).

The values for the power notch byte are listed below.

The pedal byte has two possible values depending on the state of the pedal.

The D-pad byte represents the state of the arrow buttons. If two opposite directions are pressed simultaneously, the result is Center unless a third button is pressed.

The button byte uses seven bits to represent the state of the physical buttons. 0 means that the button is released and 1 that it is pressed. A bitmask can be used to retrieve the buttons.

MTC

No details are available regarding internal functioning.

ZKNS-001

This controller has one handle (5 power notches and 8+emergency brake notches) and 16 buttons (the same as a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, except the stick buttons).

Internally, it is a HID-compliant joystick mimicking a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. The stick buttons and the right stick are unused, and only the Y axis of the left stick is used.

The power/brake handle notches are reported in the Y axis of the left stick. There are no transition values between notches. In addition, when the handle is set to Emergency, ZL is pressed.
