NOAC Super Joy help!?

Antwarrior · Post by **Antwarrior** » Mon Sep 05, 2005 2:21 am

So I'm working with a Super Joy 3 and I need to know how to switch the 2nd controller port from the 'Genisis-Ripoff' input to an NES input. Also, keep in mind I'm VERY new at making portables. So speak specifically and cleary...as if I was retarted. Haha. If you have pics, that helps!

thanks!

Ignore the blue and purple connections if you don't want lightgun support.

Here is the player 2 plug

And the super joy 3

Simply solder wires between the correct connections.

Please note that there are many revisions of the superjoy III and they don't all have the same pinout. Most of the ones I've seen so far have the pinout labelled on them though.

you guys are awesome. I was wondering though, do I have to remove the wires from the other side? (the ones that connects the cart input to the original built in controller?) I want to do the same thing to my Game Axe, but I dont want to make the buttons on the machine non-functional.[/img]

You don't have to remove the normal player 1 control/power/AV out/ board. You can simply solder the player 2 plug to the right pins. Heck, if you don't want to mod the SJ3, you could just make a converter for the normal P2 plug to a P2 NES plug. I have the pinout for the player 2 SJ3 plug if you want it.

Not sure about the Game Axe question

Are you putting it in a Game Axe?

Sorry for the confusion, G-force. In a nutshell:
I'm trying to make a small nes out of the guts of a super joy. (I'm going to put it into a old VHS hard case) I'm going to run it off of the built in DC in and the AV in. BUT! I want to be able to have two nes controller inputs and keep the built in games. You have already shown me how to make the 1st player input...but how do I get a second? Also, where exactly are the built in games stored?

Just look at the Super Joy pic again, the pinouts for player 1 and 2 are on there. Also, the built-in games are in a glop-top on the board, if you connect the cartridge slot so that it bridges certain pins when a cart is inserted, the built-in games will be disabled automatically when the cart is inserted. Remove the cart and the built-in games take over.

Also notice that the Genesis controller ports are a ripoff of the 2600, so say VCS/2600 ripoff.
