Nes controller-to- Wireless Xbox Controller
Moderator:Moderators
Hi guys, for the last week, I've been building a gift for one of my friend. My friend have problem with is NES, but he enjoys a lot playing NES game on his Xbox emulator. Anyway, I though it would be cool to have a NES controller for his Xbox. I look around the internet, and I see this: http://www.althack.com/2006/04/10/how-t ... od-part-i/
Anyway, I got my inspiration from him. But I didn't liked the big box idea, I wanted to be able to use the Xbox controller too. So I look inside an Xbox wireless controller (20$ canadian) and like I suppose, their were enough place on the top to put a female db9 connector. Here's the Wireless Xbox Controller with removable NES controller (Yes, I know it looks like a wiimote with a classic controller !). The Xbox controller still work too. I'll put some progress picture and a movie as soon as I get time. Here comes the pics:

yea I think you can use anything with simple switching, like say a neo-geo or a genny mabye a saturn? controller, those are extremely simple inside and can be retro fitted for the db-9 easily,
YAY no get to adding a saturn controller, it will make the coolest thing for the 2d fighters for the box, or the neo-geo controller stick...you see where I'm going here right?

I refuse to dignify myself with an intelligent and witty signature
Glad you guys like the idea. For the more than 8 buttons controller, I suggest using DB15, that way, you can enough button for almost all controller. Anyway, I'll probably make another one for me, with a DB15 and many interchangeable controller. At first, I though using a wireless controller was weird, but it's better that way because of the available space behind.
