GCC Test Suite (GTS for short) is an open source GameCube controller tester, and an alternative to SmashScope.
Currently not feature-complete, but in a workable state.
(This project was originally developed under the name FossScope)
- Polls at ~1400 hz in the oscilloscope menus, ~120 hz otherwise
- Two oscilloscope menus, one for testing specific inputs, and one for continuously measuring
- Input viewer and button tester
- Melee coordinate viewer with coordinate overlays
- 2D stick plot with stickplot maps
- Works on GameCube/Wii, and with 480p
- Polling rate is not perfectly uniform. The min time for polls at ~1400hz is around 600 microseconds, where as the normal and max are around 700 microseconds
- No way to scale the waveform (yet)
- Tests in the oscilloscope menu are not confirmed to be correct
- Everything on screen is drawn directly on the framebuffer with the CPU, need to move to using GX_ functions at some point
- A lot of logic that shouldn't be in menu.c is, needs to be moved to other files (mostly drawing functions)
- Other things I can't think of right now...
- Install devkitpro
- Install libogc2
- Add the extremscorner repo
- NOTE: A recent change to libogc2 exposed a bug in dolphin that will cause incorrect behavior. Until this fix is in a release version, dolphin will be considered an unsupported platform

Originally, I wanted a test program that worked on Gamecube, since SmashScope was for Wii only. I got motivation to pick up the project again after the website for SmashScope went down, and made significant progress since then.
- The PhobGCC team (especially for phobconfigtool and PhobVision, this wouldn't have been done without referencing it repeatedly). Also thanks for putting up with me in the Discord :)
- SmashScope and its creators for giving me a baseline to strive for
- The DevkitPro team and Extrems for making stuff like this a lot more accessible
- Z. B. Wells for being my "Archaic Language Consultant"
