Includes but not limited to: SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Game Gear and I guess the Virtual Boy.

OK, so I unscrewed everything on the controller (outer shell anyway), but when I got to lift it, nothing?!!! It just won't come off for some reason. :?

Wait to get the screws, since I had not a small screwdriver, I used a soldering iron to go into the hole, and start melting the plastic around it and then scoop it out. Is that bad, and the controller still works btw.
