Made it from scratch.

I've been in the planning stages of making one of those using that exact same method, only I was thinking of trying to make it a 3 in 1 NES, SNES, Genesis controller. Might wanna look into a sturdier case though

Thanks guy this is the first time I felt I was doing something serious so your comments mean a lot to me! But I'm thinking of taking it to school and putting it in a wooden case. There is only one problem with it the characters only jump up for some reason. Keep the ideas and comments coming!

Also: I for got to put a start button and the triggers so I added a start and am putting in the triggers to night!

Update: all buttons are in and everything works Great! except those darn triggers!

IIRC the triggers are magnetic, so unless you rig a very elaborate extension setup, you'll have to have the triggers on the main board in their original position. So, I guess make it so the triggers can "poke out" of the case (aka shoebox).

You can create digital trigger ( aka non-analog ones) but putting a switch that connect the 2 opposite connections of the lil chip under the triggers.

Just to help.

There's 6 magnetic chips on a dc controller, 4 magnetic chips under the joystick, and 1 under each trigger. Each chip got 4 connections, there's 2 normal one, 1 rectangular one and 1 square one. Connect the square one to ground to mimic full-press on the joystick (Left Right Down Up) or triggers (R L).

PS: the trigger chips is located on the "upper" side of the controller.

That's it !

Tell me if you need more explanation !
