Hey!! Thats a good idea... Im pretty sure I could even do that with any conroller. Where my dad works he gets the wire for free so I really dont have to spend any money on supplies. And then charge 5 bucks more than they usually are. I could buy a PS2 one at EB for 20.00 and then sell it for 25.00 at school. Some dude would be willing to buy it. I could have another buissness ( I already burn CD's for people and sell them for a dollar or two)

Why not do it for all systems? The more the better. I suggest using a thick gauge of solid copper wire. Also, practice with badly made controllers first if you're new to the pinout of a system. By the way, if you ever try to modify a controller, keep in mind most use those weird globtop ICs and magnetic switches (you know, those ones with those wavy bare wires where the button is supposed to be). Once, I was so eager to modify an NES Innovation joystick, I cut the five wires leading to the controller's pcb before even studying the IC :roll: .

Controller pinouts dont matter, it is simply splicing the wires and lengthening them. For example the N64 controller has 3 wires so I simply used 16 feet of 3 wire wire.

Hey! I just did that with a NES controller!! I took a broken controller, cut off the wire 3/4 of the way down, cut off the plug on the good controller, stripped all the wires..(My damned wire-stripping tool's lowest setting was ONE setting too high.. :cry: i had to cut the plastic all the way around, for each of the 5 wires... Took more than a half hour!) And i just twisted the corresponding colours of wires together, bound them with electrical tape, and then went over the connection smoothly with the electrical tape. I was so stoked when i turned on my nes, pressed start, and bomberman corresponded!. Its for my nes in my living room, so i can comfortable sit on my couch. Like i would need that in my room, my chair is 2 feet from my TV. :lol:

two ft. thats it? if I were over 50 years old I'd tell you that is bad for your eyes but since Im not Im going to say: ONLY two feet?! ONLY TWO?! I SIT 7 3/4 in. FROM MINE! :roll: nah, I really sit back about as far as the controller will let me unless Im playing my Game Cube with the Wavebird. Then I sit back about 10-12 ft. :wink: wireless kicks ass.

Do any of you know if I could turn a N64 controller into a NES controller? I have a N64 controller and the joystick is shot but thought it would be cool to have it as an NES controller? Do they have the same wires, or am I nuts?

I don't think so, i just know the SNES and NES where backwards compatible.
But i could be wrong
