I have an Arduino (
http://www.arduino.cc) I'm using with a Multi-Console Cthulu PCB (
http://shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=162026). I've tried doing TAS like inputs with the Arduino but unfortunately the Arduino wasn't made for precise frame by frame timing and can be off by 1 frame sometimes. I've tried with a few xbox, snes, nes, and tg-16 games. I'm sure you could wire a Arduino up to the DS control buttons easily.
But I keep getting desyncs because of the Arduino, I've tested the arduino timing on my PC using delay();, delayMicroseconds();, millis();, and even hardware interrupts and it can be still be off by as much as .5-1ms. It's never consistent either. Anything that requires only 2 or more frames of precise timing is certainly possible.
Does anyone know of any other microchips as universal as the arduino with better timing? Or perhaps a module that could give the arduino better timing?
I was thinking of using a ChronoDot (

Anyone else have any idea's?
