Skyone,

It took me awhile to make the controller shorter (damn, there a lot of wires in there), but yes it worked! I so super psyched. I think this is coming out awesome - so far. Now I think the last thing I'm going to do before bed (I live on east coast) is hot glue down some of my contacts so they don't get loose.

It's pretty fun with OAC's because they require mainly time, so it's not too hard, just semi-frustrating. But ya, you always want to hot glue down your tace extension wires, they come loose easily.

Wow, that's a lot of wire! It looks clean though, good job. Are you building something like this?

Nah, that looks awesome though.

Mine is basically going to look like Ben's Handbuilt NES design from the book.

Hi guys,

Well I'm at the point where the only thing I have left is to add the buttons. Of course I tested stuff before I hot glued it all down & closed it up. I will take a couple of pictures later - when I get home from work. Now, here is the current issue:

Sonic works great (of course this is the game I used for testing), however the other games do not. They seem to be stuck on "Left" - the characters seem to keep wanting to go left. I am glad that I've got Sonic working at least, but it would be nice to be able to play Golden Axe, also.

Just make sure no button wires are touching, and that the left button isn't jammed down.

the left button doesn't appear jammed, & the weird thing is that all buttons work fine with sonic?

Eek, it seems like your ROM chip is screwed up... Check if any pins are touching on the rom chip.
