SoundGammon Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Great! Here's a tip: Make more and sell them or at least the base and players can add their own sticks! As for me, I would put on 2 Wico sticks with the ball handle and it would be just like the arcade! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldenWheels Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamrodHare Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Lookin good! My suggestion would be to rotate the photo, so it isn't sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiju Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Sorry about the pic.. I'm on mobile in the woods... I'll follow up with a couple more. And yea ball tops might be more practical, these feel cooler..as my Daughter says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiju Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Note we re colored the rubber base and fire buttons. Original was red I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiju Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 These were the originals. Not sure of the official make/model. But. They do make a shorter version might be cool for the next one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiju Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hey Ramrod. Love the NES Mod. I tried that long ago and failed pretty bad. My first ever use of a soldering iron... you happen to have a diagram handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamrodHare Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hey Ramrod. Love the NES Mod. I tried that long ago and failed pretty bad. My first ever use of a soldering iron... you happen to have a diagram handy Thanks. The modded NES gamepad in my pic was the first one I ever did. I still have it. I sold a few, but I wasn't making enough to justify the time I put into them. I don't have a diagram, I just looked it up online somewhere. If I can recall where it was, I'll post a link.

CPUWIZ Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Seeing all the joysticks over and over, some charging $200 for a Robotron controller, makes me wonder sometimes if I should have mass produced my adapter for PlayStation controllers. Nothing beats playing Robotron with dual thumb sticks. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing beats playing Robotron with dual thumb sticks. I built a Robotron setup, and I'd still buy your adapter. (Though I think a couple of real arcade sticks is the best way to play it, I like to play Robotron "rough") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRTGAMER Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Nice Mod. With the work involved might be better to use a decent limit switch stick set so the base does not move around. The Wicos mentioned are a good leaf switch design, but do not have easy movement with solid tactical clicks. Imagine solid switch style sticks as in the original arcade panel; there are better 3rd party home controllers that could be modded. Another console with similar idea, I performed a simple mod on my Blaze Twin Shock for the Playstation with toggle switches and jumper wires, player two stick tied to player one face buttons; the two sticks now function as movement and fire. This controller has the decent click stick without the cost of a commercial arcade set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
