Not if you were familiar with the GBA extension input. I don't think you are though, so you are SOL unless you can findout what chip they use to convert the data, and the pinout for it.

your pic isn't displaying right. You can't see it because you have it cached. all it shows us is an anime character giving us the finger because the site you got it from doesn't like you linking to their pics.

it's pretty easy to make this controller work actually. I'll bet the ext port isn't being used as an ext port anymore--that gba cannot ever network again. what has most likely been done is that the test ports (points on the GBA mobo that mirror controller buttons) have probably been wired to the ext port. I didn't know there were enough pins there for it, but I've never looked.

The insides of the controller have been significantly altered as well. Instead of using the chip in the snes controller it simply has been wired to connect the pins directly to ground when pushed.

I didn't use the ext port, but did a fairly similar project connecting a neo-geo joystick to my GBA here:

the neogeo joystick is a better choice because the wiring inside the joystick doesn't have to be rerouted (no chips in NG controllers).

I see the pic. What you are talking about would work if there were more than 4 data pins in the extension port, but that is a real controller adaptor. They have made those, and it works without modding your GBA, but I don't know what ICs are used.
