famicom controller help

Post by cheftendo »

So i bought a famicom and the controller is junk, i had a dog bone with a crushed plug end and was wondering about just hardwiring it in. Are the wires used for the same thing, as in saying white with white extra, and is there any problems a may need to adress Any help would be great.

You could buy an extension cable and hardwire the dogbone controller to that.
The result would be a dogbone controller with a LOT of wire though :P

I'd recommend posting this over on Famicom World. You'd probably have an answer pretty quickly.

This will help with the controller and what wires are what, but it only references the expansion plug on the Famicom so you'll probably need to find a diagram of which those are.
