controller mod

Get a NES pin out.  Get a Famicom controller pin out.  Match up the pins.

[satoshi_matrix]

thats what I did! I put the NES leads into the socket of the Famiclone controller in the same pattern that the Famiclone leads were in the socket. It didn't work.

[madman]

But you went by COLOR, not by the signal on each wire.  A pin out will tell you what signal is on which wire.  You can't just put random wires into holes and expect the controller to work.

[UglyJoe]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we dealing with a Famiclone here and not a Famicom?  The Famiclone controller is using a 9-pin female serial connection (like the 2600, master system, etc).  Wouldn't the OP need a pinout of this controller in order to know where to match up the wires?

[madman]

Yep, he'd need that.  He's just going by the colors of the wires.

I don't completing understand, but would it help if I posted a picture of the front end of the pirate famiclone controller? its leads are labelled as such:

Red wire: VCC
Yellow wire: GND
Blue wire: OUT
Brown wire: 4016
White wire: 4016D

To me it might as well be jibberish, but maybe it means something to you guys.

On the NES pad the only lead that is labelled is Yellow wire: OUT.

Any help?

[madman]

I don't want to be rude, but honestly if you cannot read pin outs and understand what they mean, you won't be able to do this.

By examinging http://www.gamesx.com/controldata/nessnes.htm, the pcbs and the established leads, I know this much:

NES pad:

  1
  7 2
  3 4
  5 6

1 = brown = ? 1 isn't labelled at all on the database
2 = white = VCC, DATA
3 = orange = clock
4 = EXT
5 = yellow = OUT
6 = EXT
7 = red = ground

But I dont know what to do with this information. I realize I'm an idiot as this. Anything you can help with is appricated.

I'm still looking for some help here. I want to use an NES controller on the GameAxe Color...my last post still stands.

Hi,

I am a Handy-Famieight owner too.....and would love to use those nes clones with the super synth drums cartridge, miracle piano and midines for making music next to my lsdj/nano-loop-voice gameboy's.....
I think this is the pinout we want to use for the conversion (see attached)
Does anybody have a wire diagram for the nes miracle piano cable for me ??
or could I just use the miracle piano to pc wire diagram that I have ??  (see attached)


Thanks in advance and greetings from worlds highest below sea-level....

Wenky.....

P.S. Could a clock signal from a lsdj gameboy be used too controll the speed of a nes ? could the wire diagram from a supergameboy 2 converter (link port) be used for this??? any suggestions

[Wenky]

this is the nes - famieight pinout I found
