Firmware 2.x Firmware 3.0 Firmware 3.1
USB joystick adapter schematic v3.2 (Vador, Dark Helmet)

This new flash tool has the possibility to trig the bootloader of an adapter and change its functionality in few clicks, without the need of doing the manual bootflash procedure. You need to first upgrade your existing 3.2 adapter (Vador, Dark Helmet) with one of the included firmwares using the manual procedure. Then, it will be ready to accept this simple controller change.
