Now that I think of it, why did you use a male plug instead of female? Looks like you'd need a special controller to connect to it. Or is it female and just sticking out of the case? :P

Yep, it's a standard female plug (stolen from a NES)... Only since I dremeled it, it also became male... :P
No converters needed.

Hey, a video wouldn't be a bad idea, would it? I'll try and get one (assuming she'll let me), showing the features and all that.

Ha ha, Yep! I think it was a fairly decent birthday gift. Wouldn't you agree?

Woah.... amazing wiring work. How hot does the 7805 end of the controller get?

YOBO mother board is wider and taller than standard NES controller shell. :(

I bet it could be chopped down, and I still bet a blaze retrocon could fit.

sheer amazement

I didn't know that a NOAC could fit in something so small and be able to close properly. Amazing. good work.

If that was a bump, I'm sorry but I never saw this thing either.
Really cool with the LED logo. In my NESP I could only fit the controller and NOAC in there, reeally tightly packed. Nice job.

Dugg This!

Post by LolzMiniNES » Mon Jan 15, 2007 5:07 pm

This has been dugg! Hilarious!

I made an account to make a suggestion for a verson 2.

EVERY SINGLE NES GAME made (around 9,000 roms) takes up about 1.75 Gigs. What say you add a CF or SD slot to it..... you would even have space for every single homebrew game ever made. All the size of a regular NES controller. I love it!

At least the concept. Not that I condone piracy. It sure would be great though if you could add some method of loading other NES homebrew roms in there! Points for the NES slot but it loses out to practicality.
