	Nintendo Entertainment System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The controllers are particular targets for modding, often being adapted to connect with personal computers by way of a parallel or USB port.
		Both the controllers and the microphone were subsequently dropped from the redesigned AV Famicom in favor of the two seven-pin controller ports on the front panel used in the NES from its inception.
		However, the controllers included with the Famicom AV, despite being the "dog bone" type, had cables which were a short three feet long, as opposed to the standard six feet of NES controllers.

	Gamepad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The NES controller used their patented + shaped D-pad (a modified version of Milton Bradley's Cosmic Hunter Dpad concept) which was used by their "Game and Watch" series of games as the standard for their home console controllers.
		The original Famicom controllers were different from the NES ones in the sense that, besides their design (and being hardwired into the console), the second controller lacked Select and Start buttons- in their place was a microphone, although very few games supported it.
		The Xbox controller went through a revision specifically for Japanese consumers and due to complaints that the initial controller was too bulky (Indeed, the size of the Xbox controller has been the subject of many a joke in video game-related webcomics).

		The Champ was very similar to the Standard NES controller except it had Turbo A and B buttons and the wire came out the side instead of the top.
		The controller was a convenient device that not only housed the buttons for gameplay, but buttons that could turn the NES sytem on/off and reset it.
		This controller has a similar set-up to the NES Max except that the D pad is touch sensitive and it includes turbo buttons.

	NES Controller to Xbox Mod - Xbox-Scene Online Web Community
		Since wiring an NES Controller for use on an Xbox is a fairly complex mod, I've decided to break this article into 3 parts to simplify the process and give you time to shop for the tools/parts you'll need.
		AFAIK the only way to use retro controllers (done it myself for nes and snes, seen it done here on xs forums for amiga and genesis) is to manually solder each buttion connection + ground of the old controller to the stripped down board of a regular xbox controller.
		The NES Controller is hooked up to the Project Box via the PS2 Connector, and the Project Box is hooked up to the Xbox via the cord off the modded Mad Catz Controller.

		The NES controller's cord ends with a male ``D-cannon'' connector, as one source dubbed it.
		After acquiring an unwanted NES system, I took it apart to obtain a female D-cannon and unsoldered the piece connecting the wires from the connector to the main NES circuit board.

	Question on the 7800 NES controller mod. - AtariAge Forums
		On the mod it shows two resistors that arent in my nes controller (R1 and R2) I don't know where to put the two resistors from the 7800 controller that are supposed to go in place of those.
		I have already gotten my 7800 controller all ripped apart and ready to rewire into the nes, but I am stuck at this point in the mod, and it has been all apart for a day or so now.
		I emailed some people out of the country (austrailia) selling nes controllers on ebay and they told me that their controllers have the E on the end of the model number.

	Need to make NES controller adapter to 2600 / SMS / Genesis - AtariAge Forums

		From: San Jose Ca If you don't want to open the NES controller, then you're going to need a clocking circuit and some storage, maybe a 555 timer with a shift register.

		This is important because you can either cut up the actual controller board or de-solder the chip and solder the wires directly to the correct pins.
		Notice that I have soldered a jumper wire from the ground to the brown controller wire.

		There was a wireless controller for the NES, I have it in my collection collecting dust next to the little robot guy.
		It's funny how reading through the posts and journal entry the 'wireless controllers' sound so ahead of their time, as though they were bluetooth or wireless-G or something, when really they were IR just like television remote controls, common tech.

	NES/SNES controller to Xbox controller mod
		Each button needs a wire and there has to be a ground wire, so NES controllers need at least nine wire cable and SNES controllers need at least thirteen.
		I basically followed the NES to Dreamcast mod I did a few years ago, wiring the female DB-25's on the Xbox controllers so the NES/SNES controllers work with the connector on my Dreamcast controller as well.
		Modeverything was rather helpful in finding the solder points for the original Xbox controller; the S-controller required a bit more testing to find the correct points.

	bit-tech.net Forums - NES controller to USB mod?
		From what i've gleaned from the site and other various google results, this is only possible by using some sort of microcontroller that goes in between the controller and the computer (be it usb, serial, or parallel).
		He's either using a standard game pad controller IC or, which is more likely, a PIC micro that's programmed to accept the button presses on its inputs and convert them to USB serial signals at the right speed/protocol to get it to be recognised as a game pad by the PC.
		And putting hte NES controller on that shouldn't be too hard, but might require some programming trickery, as if i remeber correctly, the game port only has 4 digital inputs.
