Lucky Man Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 That's great! Although, it would be inconvenient having to use two hands to operate it. Still, wouldn't that be awesome to have that sitting on the coffee table as a remote control! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Best all-in-one joystick hack yet IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
128bytes Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Best all-in-one joystick hack yet IMHO. 2nd place - nothing beats the Radica Space Invaders joystick hacked into a 7800 joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoodoo Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 This actually leads me to a question... I bought one of those cheap NOAC machines, and it looks a LOT like one of the old Wico Atari sticks. I'd like to know if anyone has technical knowledge on how to transform it into a VCS stick. It's got a SWEET old school red ball stick on it that moves like a DREAM (the buttons are great too), unfortunately, I got it home, and the only game on it I DIDN'T have was Pooyan (I don't even LIKE Pooyan). I'd think it couldn't be THAT hard to rewire and use on the VCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Not only is that neat, it also looks like something I could actually do! I like the way everything fits inside the joystick base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
