People keep asking me to make them NES to USB adapters, but I can’t because the connectors are hard to get. If I could find some way of getting Saturn and SNES connectors made too, I might try to do a small production run of Retro Adapter boards…

The G4 one was interesting in that it used “push to break” style switches and they were held between the back of the face and the buttons.

I like that we have NES connectors, but the controllers themselves are soaring in price, as are the systems. I think that there needs to be a source of the controllers for about $5 apiece, because they are getting scarce.

I found something awesome a few days ago.

This is a must have for any serious NES player.
I sent a note to hackaday i hope they put it on the front page for everyone to enjoy. It deserves it.

The main page is very out of date (to be fair it is only a month old, but a lot has happened on the forums. A whole lot.)
