    Thanks for the kind words! I wanted to be thorough but I may have "over-explained" a few things.

    Atari 7800 Controller Assembly Instructions.pdf Here ya go! This is the process I use to assemble these controllers.

    I am working on a instruction manual, i'll have that out very soon.

    The black looks okayish, it actually looks really good on original NES shells. But i'm biased, I can't get past how good this silver filament prints. So, I love 3D printing these labels. They work/look great but I am doing research into stamped aluminum labels like the 7800 console/controllers/xm. not sure of cost yet just researching suppliers.
  5. DanthWader
    I've always fantasized the idea of aluminum overlays that have "7800" or "ATARI" stamped into them like the console or the prolines OR the XM. Personally that would completely finish this controller, full scale productions ready. Yes! Kits are live, check the marketplace for info about where to buy. But I plan on building about 20 this batch and selling 20 kits.

    I just use plastics super glue from the home de pot. its a little 2-part kit, a primer and then the glue. its not messy, the glue has a low viscosity so it doesn't 'raise' the label. But it sets QUICK and i mean it, literally like 2 seconds. so i'd practice laying it on the controller a few times before you glue it. I also put the glue on the shell face first then apply the label. If you decide to put the silver label on the black controller you have you'll have to pull the start and select button out and shave the edge off the shell face on the start and select holes.

    I was by good old T-town this week, fixin 'puters. I designed these pcbs based on the NES controller PCB, I was originally going to use these to "mod" old NES controllers. I painstakingly measured the board and ran the circuit on it. Every thing in the kit is compatible with an original NES controller. You could use the parts in the kit to mod an original NES contoller. But wwwhhhhhyyyy these black shells are awesome!
  8. DanthWader
    You are correct, the kits are for the DIYers that want to build this controller from "scratch". In the kit it will be un-assembled with all the parts needed to build 1 controller. I will sell completed controllers like in the past. I just wanted to make this offering for the frugal or DIY minded individuals. The completed fully-assembled controllers will cost more then the kits by a 7-8 dollar margin.

    I actually do a reverse print...all black, silver logo which goes great with the NES grey/beige. I think Crossbow has one I printed (I only printed one).
  10. DanthWader
    That looks amazing, I wouldn't care if it was a straight up port. It's my favorite 2600 game.

    I order all the parts in bulk direct from china and hand assemble each of these controllers. I designed the PCB and had it printed to fit a NES controller. I just order black shells and shave off the start and select buttons.... ...Which brings me here... This would be a very simple idea, but do take into account this is the 7800 controller schematic so both buttons function as one on the 2600. At the same time I know exactly where you are coming from. I think this is a great idea and shaving off the A or B button along with the start and select buttons wouldn't be a difficult task, as for the model I made for the 3D printed "labels" filling in any holes in cad would be a breeze and not a bad option but limits future use with a 7800. Im sort of with Jin with the single button on 2600, If thats all you have the second button is pointless. I converted a SNES controller to a 7800 controller with ALL buttons functioning as fire1 or fire2. but so many buttons were ridiculous and didn't improve the quality of gameplay at least for me. Thank you again for that "research"!! The AtariAge community is one of the greatest, I couldn't have done this without ya'll! BTW, I just got a STACK of PCBs in i'll try and make about 10-15 controllers this weekend and put up kits for the DIYers out there. I have to 3D print the labels and Im waiting for a new thermistor to come in for my printer...
  12. DanthWader
    I used 1/2" #4 screws as well it secures them nicely. I can modify the files to have slots anywhere. I'd need good measurements to the mm. but i can make it happen, maybe put that as an option on the store.
  13. DanthWader
    Thanks for the awesome review!! I'm glad these work with the 7800 PCB! Thanks for sacrificing your pole position from proper research. I owe ya one. I'm going to try and put the kits up this weekend at $19.99 a kit. Kits will have the PCB, black controller shell and buttons (start and select is optional), DB9 cable, 620ohm resistors and the 3D printer Atari label. I also have labels for the SMS kits. These are compatible with anything that can use a 2600 atari joystick, and 2 button function for 7800. All other compatibility will be pure luck

    Atari Adventure 7800 You didn't specify the origin system Has this been done? I can only envision a zelda clone, which I would not mind a bit. I actually really like Ace of Aces, a second to improve? Could of been executed a little better.
  15. DanthWader
    I gotta say it, that 7800 was not CIB Just listen to save2600 getcha one of those edladdin seaguls they work great with genesis controllers.
  16. DanthWader
    Batch 3 is in the works check the marketplace out for more updated info on how to get a hold of these. I'm still waiting on another batch of boards to get here. I will message everyone on the waiting list first then offer the controllers publicly.
  17. DanthWader
    If you have extra boards to try in this cart that would be excellent!! I was thinking about cracking open a 7800 cart to see if those boards would fit. I'm sure I could remix this model (which i did not create) all credit goes to Atari 2600 Cartridge Shell - Easy Print by norm8332is licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution license.

    Your carts insides are in the photo above! It's being shipped out tomorrow About your question, esty makes you enter a quantity. technically, they are unlimited... as long as I have access to filament. They take 5-6 hours per cart to print, we don't have stock... well we do in the form of filament rolls. But they are very much print-to-order, I just have to have the misses update the quantity every now and then. It costs money per item so we only post quantity of what we have time or availability to print within a certain time frame to ease shipping and processing time. No one likes to wait months for something they have paid for and my printer runs near 24/7 (we print tons of cosplay items) we've got the poor machine on a strict schedule . I'm in the process of building the second one!
  19. DanthWader
    I'm not sure what size boards it can handle but I'm assuming anything you can fit in a standard cart will work here...
  20. DanthWader
    I was planning on having the shells in the kits too, I also love nintendo and hate to see those controllers destroyed. I've got shells for days, I'll have a batch of 30 controllers ready maybe beginning of april... as soon as my PCBs come in ill post the kits online. Maybe about a week.
  21. DanthWader
    Do you Curt. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication in the Atari community. Just keep doing you.
  22. DanthWader
    Just a shameless bump... but also we have added a few V1.2 PCBs on http://itsallgeek3d.com.
  23. DanthWader
    Check it out in the AtariAge marketplace here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/275067-atari-7800-2600-sms-nes-style-controllers-v12/ But they are sold-out, I have two controllers left that I will put in the shop very soon so keep an eye out!
  24. DanthWader
    It does, I thought about that as well but couldn't figure an attachment on the model I created. Ill see how this fares, so far i've printed the piece out of PETG and it is TOUGH, maybe tougher then the ABS.
  25. DanthWader
    I thought I posted an update last night but I suppose I was to tired to hit "post"... I had to go back to the drawing board about the back tabs as I had someone sheer them off very easily despite extensive testing on my part. I decided on a snap attachment to hold the controllers in, I will print a mock up today to test tightness. but this way if it breaks its not another 14-15 hour print.
