  • DGOC-44U: two-handle controller (Microsoft Windows)
  • DRC-184/DYC-288: Ryojōhen controller (Microsoft Windows)
  • TCPP-20009: two-handle controller "Type 2" (Sony PlayStation 2)
  • TCPP-20011: Shinkansen controller (Sony PlayStation 2)
  • TCPP-20012: two-handle controller "Type 2", purple skeleton (Sony PlayStation 2)
  • TCPP-20014: Ryojōhen controller (Sony PlayStation 2)
  • MTC: Multi Train Controller (Sony PlayStation 2)
  • ZKNS-001: one-handle controller (Nintendo Switch)

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 data sent to the controller follows the structure below.

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Bytes 5-6 Bytes 7-8
Left rumble Right rumble Door lamp + Limit approach Speed gauge Speedometer ATC limit
  • 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.
