Atari right-handed controller

Post by manuba » Sun May 10, 2009 8:13 pm

This is my first project in 15yrs and it feels good to do some modding again..

Anyway, I grew up with a NES so all that I've known was d-pad on the left and buttons with the right so the Atari is a lefty and I suck with it.........So I built this....

button and cord from an Atari Flashback joystick
D-pad is from a Virtual boy controller
case cut from an old VHS camcorder tape case

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, tact switches!

Nice idea though. It's a tad large though.

you should add a pot so that it can act as a paddle controller too.

well, it looks Like I have another project to start. It probably won't work like everything else I do, but if it gets me high, perhaps it will make me think it worked out

THERE'S that picture of the kid with the N64 bong! (It's actually a pipe, but i'm not going to nitpick)
Like I mentioned in the Lotion Mod thread, if you're gonna do this, DON'T use a trumpet mouthpiece like this kid did! Use glass... less potential to get hot and melt the plastic. (I know glass gets hot too, but it dissipates the heat more quickly tha metal does)
I know it's a trumpet mouthpiece because, when someone posted this pic on another forum, the kid that's actually in the picture found the thread and replied to it.
Apparently the pic was orignially ripped off his photobucket by a random person that found it... He was pretty mad that it was all over the internet.

That's why I haven't let anyone take pics of me smoking out of mine!! :mrgreen:
