Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Some controllers I got from eBay.

The auction was for a lot of controllers. 15 controllers for $30 (shipping included)
Description wrote: 5 PLAYSTATION 2

2 SNES

3 N64

2 PS1

1 SATURN

1 GENESIS

1 GAME CUBE
I do realize that the auction states that the controllers are being sold as is, but if the Analog controller works (and two others) I should break even.
Bottom line: I think the reward is worth th risk. :)

Also, for anyone looking for NES controllers here is an auction for 37 NES controllers (among them are two Game Genies and three four scores)

If you want brand spankin' newish NES controllers, my friend sells the coolest pirate controllers. You have to break them in a bit, and they're a tad bit expensive, but once you get them how you want them to feel, they're what I would assume the original controllers felt like brand new. Personally, I found that keeping the pressure the screws placed on the circuit bored screwed up the A+B a bit, but after re-screwing and unscrewing them in exact ways, they play perfect, even for games like Ninja Gaiden. :)

The Saturn controller seems to have a bad connector. Whenever I plug the controller into the Saturn, I get the "Controller is unplugged" message. I'm thinking of cutting off the end of my Saturn extension cord and soldering it onto the controller. Is that a good idea?

That should work, just check the order of the wires with a multimeter or something because the color code might not be the same

Man, I totally forgot about my controller. Well, I plugged it into the Saturn (I forgot that it was broken) and played Astal with it, The only game that I've had problems with is Mega Man 8. However, the right trigger doesn't seem to work. Anyone know of any guides, tutorials, or just how to fix a trigger on the NiGHTS Sega Saturn controller?
