Ascii Stick L5 controller

[MarioMania]

Anyone know a Adapter for this on the NES or PC thou USB??

I just bought it on DP, When I first saw it on sale I though it was for the Super Famicom, But I wanted the Famicom one..

This is a Super NES controlller? Well, Super Nintendo controllers share the same pinout as the NES. You can desolder a SNES cable and solder in an NES if you want. It would make the Y and X buttons not work though.

No, I have it for the Famicom with the 15 pin, I have the Super L5 for the SFC

So you want an NES DB-15 to USB adapter? No, I don't think something like that exists.

However, you can buy NES to USB adapters from retrozone or ebay.

If you're handy with a soldering iron you could always replace the DB-15 cord with an NES 7pin cord. Believe it or not, only 5 of those 15 pins carry signals that the system needs and those five wires can be found by taking your stick apart and tracing each wire to specific pins on the 4021 control chip. Once that's figured out, its a simple matter of swapping out the cord from a dead/unwanted NES controller.

Doing this would mean that your stick would be NES compatable but no longer first gen Famicom compatable unless you were to wire both cords in parallel, but that's extra work.

NES and USB or just DB-15 Famicom. or all three but more work.
Up to you.

I have one of these and love playing nes games with it. It's great for rpgs especially. You can chow down on your favorite greasy snack and not worry about greasing up your controller. A coke (or I guess beer) in one hand and your controller in the other. Nothing better!

Either replace the L5 cord with a nes controller cord or solder a nes controller cord to a db-15 to make your own little converter. Then if you want usb, you'll need a nes to usb adapter too.

The snes ones are nice too and even more useful since the snes is an rpg machine.
