Yobo FC USA version controller

[17daysolderthannes]

I've managed to find pictures of a disassembled FC console, but I have yet to find one of the controller. I would take one of mine apart but between the aluminum screws and the possibility of some sort of locktite/threadlock, I fear I won't be able to get it back together properly again. I'm sure SOMEONE on here has taken apart one of these controllers before, especially since they are only $2 (I know! retarded cheap!) so if anyone has pics of the insides of the FC console gamepads please post them up for me. Thanks.

In a related matter, as of now my FC controllers won't plug into a real NES because the real NES pins are too thick, do the individually sold Yobo "superpad 8" or whatever they are called (identical looking at least) work with a real NES? I LOVE the feel of these game pads with the Sega Genesis-esque D-Pad and buttons and form fitting shape and I would like one that would work with my real NES.

Oh yeah, nice forum by the way, you guys seem to have a much better attitude about Famiclones and NOAC than Nesdev that seems to codemn it because the sound isn't perfect, which gets annoying when you are just trying to learn about stuff and every 3rd post is just a rant about NOAC.

Why don't you buy an extension cord for a NES controller, and solder the male end of that to one of your yobo controllers.

thats been suggested before in another thread on nesdev, but thats too much effort to be worth it if the $2 individually sold version would work, I would rather just give up my loose change and do it that way. Plus, an NES extension cord would probably cost more than $2 anyway, lol.

I'll get you some pics of the controller when I get home (in a few hours). What parts specifically do you need pictures of?

nothing inparticular, just the assembly as a whole on both sides and maybe a detail of the D-pad. I plan on doing a review of the Yobo FC for youtube since the 2 reviews that are on there SUCK. Someone needs to make a review that isn't a fastidious accuracy nut or a noob that has no idea whats going on so thats what I intend to do. I appreciate it though! thanks!

I'll open up one of mine tonight and get you some pictures. I have two of them, they came with the console and I have no intention of using them. Though, I don't think it would be hard to open/close them, mine haven't caused me any trouble...

And the D-pad without the rubbery thing:


Hope that helps!

thanks! So, how good would you say the quality of construction is (its hard to tell from pictures). Also, is it easy to reassemble i.e. none of the parts are hard to put in place and nothing got stripped/broken in the process?

I was able to reassemble it without any trouble; there were just six screws holding the controller together. It seemed to be constructed fairly well.
