Gamecon driver w/Nes Advantage
-
I have 2 nes controllers working great wires to gpio pins. Both controllers work great on the 3.3volt been. I bought a NES advantage today and it works but it's crazy jumpy, like half button presses and ghost presses. I'm wondering if a 5 volt pin is required to power it, possibly with the clamp circuit found in the wiki...
Has anybody has success using the advantage on gpio pins?
As a second question, if indeed a clamp circuit is needed, will my existing 3.3 compliant controllers still work when plugged in?
Thanks in advance.

@newellj79 the nes advantage really needs 5v. The rapid fire chip alone will only work properly with the knobs turned halfway up or less on 3.3v. It gets all wonky any higher. So i would assume the whole setup needs 5v.

@edmaul69 Thank you much. I will order the parts to build a clamp circuit...
