What is your favorite NES controller?

I've only ever used the classic rectangle, but I'm curious to try some new ones that won't kill my hands. The MAX looks like it would be the best for all around use, but the dogbone looks pretty good as well. The advantage seems way too big and not really suited for console gaming in general.

But what do you think?

Title says it all. Just looking for a small chippy sounding keyboard I can break out melodies on. Composing in a tracker is hard for me!

US only please, and if you want to trade let me know. I have plenty of NES's.

Keff does this for commission. He's really good too.

Let me know if you want a label.

Here's the final product! The board isn't the actual board with pulsar on it, just one I stuck in there for reference. The label ended up being printed on cool transparent label paper, so the white is just clear. With the clear shell it actually looks pretty sweet.

Still have labels up for grabs!

Can someone shed some light on what they're running on the C64s?

Here is a more print-ready version of both. I took mine to a local print shop and an 8 1/2 by 11 of a nice semi gloss label cost me $1.90. I'll be printing this whole thing so if anyone wants one of either let me know and I'll mail you a copy. You'll have to do the cutting.

@DSC Yeah that does look way nice. But it only works for one color right?

So I've finished my label. I like it, but tell me what you think! Does anyone have any experience or tips on printing these?

Here are two versions:


And here are the label only images:

If there's only one pink then I'm passing my dibs to Matthew. However if there's two then I'm still in line.

Still want a white cart.

Sweet, let me know what the deal is. I'd probably want one of both.

I'd be interested in white or pink, but I don't care about the boxes or anything.

Just updating to say that mine shipped this morning, so I'm expecting it this weekend.

Hey Yogi, let me ask again how long shipping took? I ordered a week ago and haven't heard anything shipment wise. The FAQ says I should get a shipment confirmation, is that consistent with your experience?

"I'm not a fan of the status quo and I'm not good at being told what to do."

That sounds like something from a Survivor audition tape.

Sweet, any plans to sell the shields? I have to say that thing looks pretty intense. And I'd love to just throw it right into my NES with a switch that would switch it back and forth from regular joypad. I'd probably be mostly interested in the basic circuit though, however depending on price I'd also be interested.

If I read your circuit correctly you'd need an external power supply for this?

Lastly, what specific Arduino are you using there? If I'm going to build a dedicated interface, what would you recommend for a cheap, preferably small arduino? I know Batsly Adams was using the rBBB. (Side note, check out his blog post from today, way intriguing!)

Thanks again man! Great work!

Awesome dude! Any immediate plans to release the source?
