Can I ask what this will do to the mod? Will it remove those annoying vertical stripes on the screen? If so I'll give it due consideration. Also... I've been able to install the rocker switch without too much trouble, but I'm having trouble installing an indicator light. I've been able to get the la...

The ColecoVision power switch switch
The ColecoVision's power switch is the source of many of the system's woes. Twenty five years after it was manufactured, the lubrication inside the switch has dried up, making it difficult to flip on and off, and often resulting in issues with the games themselves. The obvious solution would be to r...

Dial P for paddle
Hey, I was considering a project for the Atari 2600's big brother, the Atari 5200. I want to make a paddle controller for the system, but there's a catch... I DON'T want to use a spare 5200 controller for it. Many people go that route, but I'd rather not because the side buttons on that stick are re...

Radica Space Invaders, a great 2600 joystick!
Classic gamers know that controllers from the early 1980's were generally pretty awful. They were designed without much thought for ergonomics, responsiveness, or precision, which is odd because those are pretty important things for a video game controller to have. Fortunately, there are modern alte...

http://gtpunch.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!42F636BDC7C6C2DB!151.entry I'm thinking about trying this... the circuit seems easy enough to build, and I could add an extra button without too much trouble. It wouldn't work too well for Street Fighter II, but at least I could play Pac-Man Championship Edit...

All right, thanks for the information. I could live with just two buttons... that wouldn't require any encoding at all. However, I'm just not sure how to send that input to the Xbox 360. I could solder the wires to the copper pads on the Xbox 360 controller's circuit board... that's what I've done i...

Bringing Sega Genesis pads to the Xbox 360
Hey guys. Long time reader, first time poster. I'm writing this because I can't find any Xbox 360 controllers that work well with Xbox Live Arcade games. I've tried sanding the interior of the circle around the D-pad and that didn't work. I've tried building my own joysticks and that didn't work. I'...
