use arduino to control a Nintendo with SPI

hello!

I try to simulate a nes controller with an Arduino to communicate through the controller port of a Nes.

the idea is to use module SPI of the AVR in SLAVE mode. To use pin MOSI to transmit data towards the console, and SCK to follow the clock coming from the console.
put the LATCH on interrupt pin (pin2) and write the data SPDR in the routine

/*
Emulate a nes controller with arduino
like a chip 4021 shift out register

Nes data 

bit 0 1 2       3     4     5      6     7
    A B select  start up    down   left  right
    
    every 16,67 millisecond the nes CPU send to arduino a 12 microSec Data Latch
    6 microSec after a clock pulse at 6microsec indicate on each  rising edge the button state bit by bit :
    A,B,select,start,....
    
   
SPIE - Enables the SPI interrupt when 1
SPE - Enables the SPI when 1
DORD - Sends data least Significant Bit First when 1, most Significant Bit first when 0
MSTR - Sets the Arduino in master mode when 1, slave mode when 0
CPOL - Sets the data clock to be idle when high if set to 1, idle when low if set to 0
CPHA - Samples data on the falling edge of the data clock when 1, rising edge when 0
SPR1 and SPR0 - Sets the SPI speed, 00 is fastest (4MHz) 11 is slowest (250KHz)

void loop() {
}

void SendData()
{
  
 
  SPDR = controller_data;                    // ecrire la valeur des boutons dans SPDR

  while (!(SPSR & (1<<SPIF)))     //
  { 
  }; 
  
  
  
 }

If someone have an idea if my code is right
because I hav just one interrupt when i boot my arduino and after nothing. :frowning:

I'd skip SPI and just bit-bang it. Or you might try using an actual shift register - just to make the software simpler and the whole thing a little easier to troubleshoot?
