Question for a NES portable (opinion question)

Post by cowsgoquack101 »

I was wandering if you all think that its a better way to just wire up a 72 pin connectorand use the original NOAC controller (built in games) or hook up an NES controller with all the other stuff

Get a Family Converter from Gannon, and hook up a NES controller.

I would say stay original with an NES controller. I wanted to do that, but it wouldn't fit in the space I had. Man, I really want to build portables for myself. *sigh*

Yea, but I think the tact switches 'lag' if you will, like signal isn't very strong. :?

Well with the experience Ive had with all 3 power players, i also dont find the built in controllers 100% responsive compared to the original.

Wiring up your NES to the glop, and then back into the Famiclone isint too hard to do. all of the pinouts g-force lists are correct, and the ones I have posted are also.

It also gives you the feel of the NES, and is nicer to hold. So, I'd say either tact switches or use a NES controller.
