Well, you could just jump in SMB and move, you could beat the game... I have an idea for next week's mod, I'll share it with the winner, so you can have more ideas.

I'd say jerry rig the A button to the end of the joystick, and use the red button for B.

I have a 2 button atari joystick. I could hack it up to press a and b. If you want me to make one, I will, but I cannot test it.

EdIT: My NES is dead! It turns on but normal controllers cannot do anything. I still need to figure out what is wrong...

Ouch! You have plenty of time to debug it.

have you taken your NES apart in the past? Maybe you forgot to plug in the cable from the controller ports, or maybe you plugged it in the wrong port

Yeah Ive opened the NES, and I didnt close it yet.
Yeah the system isint screwed shut now, Im just poking at it from time to time when Im not working on the power player. Ive tested about all I can think of. The only thing I can think to do now Is solder the controller to the board..

AHA= edit: When I unplug the nes controller and plug it in, sometimes it presses all of the buttons on the controller. This has been a problem for me in the past occasionally, where any button I pressed would also press start.

But you couldn't run (or shoot fireballs). That'd make it hard.

Maybe you could re-map pressing up on the joystick to the B button? I don't remember using UP at all in SMB.

you need it for the rare occasion you need to go into a tube tunnel above you (though that may be smb 3 only)

I'm sorry, but this is really dumb. Not the mod contest. The no B, Select, Start...what games are you gonna play with that piece of crap?

Well said.

I agree you can't start it anyways smb needs the start button to start it.

Lucretius · Post by **Lucretius** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 8:58 pm

I say, simply let them add the buttons. Leave the case in tact structure-wise...but jeez, without those buttons you can't even start SMB...what the hell were you thinking?
