Hey, there's really not much more...@Monkey Boy<br /><br />Hey, there's really not much more I can say about the wiring. The nes controller was easy to wire to, I just traced back the tracks leading to each of the buttons, and effectively bypass the buttons, so instead of the button on the controller closing the circuit, the button on the giant controller closes the circuit.<br /><br />You don't need any special kit to make a USB version (I made one myself, so I can plug an actual NES/SNES/megadrive controller into my PC to play emulators), just buy the cheapest generic USB controller you can find I got a double set for 5-10 bucks.<br />It would by pretty much the same as the NES controller; just pull the board out of the controller and solder wires onto the two sides of the button contacts for each button, and rewire them to the button contacts of the controller you make.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731285191461012946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060241071136423387.post-28218143439937055132010-06-26T13:15:57.600+10:002010-06-26T13:15:57.600+10:00I dont know if you will reply to this but its wort...I dont know if you will reply to this but its worth asking.<br /><br />could you go a little more into detail on how you wired together the DPad and the Buttons to the PCB.<br /><br />I want to make a smaller version with my dad as a bonding session as we've grown apart over the years and this would be perfect for both of us.<br /><br />instead of making it hook up to a NES Console i want to make it USB using a retro kit.....im just struggling to see how to hook the buttons up to the PCB.Monkey Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178860493363539428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060241071136423387.post-17526324312813924902010-03-17T18:15:00.200+11:002010-03-17T18:15:00.200+11:00You Sir, are my hero.

The lamp is the female plug, the socket is the male; they fit together. The sole purpose of that was so if Kyle wants to, he can unplug the controller and make it non-functioning, and just a plain, awesomesauce coffee table. Get an old NES controller. Open it up. Look inside. COPY. <br />Go to your local store as well, they'll help you find all the parts once you explain exactly what you are doing.<br /><br />I'm going to make this, if I can find glass cheaper... I don't have 130$ to throw around lol! Or maybe I'll make it non-functioning, and use a high-gloss laquer of some sort, to make the wood extremely durable so I can scrub it.. I'm prone to spilling juice and dripping jam onto our current mirror-table.Jesslynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060241071136423387.post-70709063301300081352009-03-09T22:25:00.000+11:002009-03-09T22:25:00.000+11:00My god I now know what to get my boyfriend for his...My god I now know what to get my boyfriend for his birthday!
