Nes DogBone Controller to Atari 7800/2600 Mod

Does anybody need this ?

So cut the traces where the red lines are and remove the two resistors circled.

The blue circle is where the ends of the 620 ohm resistors go.

 

I can make a full tutorial if needed but this is just an addition to the per-existing NES controller mod as everything not shown here is the same.

 

Why not just use a Genesis controller ? Because that's too easy.

There was already a guy doing that here many years ago. And I already use nes unmodified controllers on a 2600 with a series of adapters. Now if 2600 controllers can work on a 7800 then its all good. But I don't have a 7800 yet.

You should make a full tutorial!

Dogbones use surface mount chip unlike the rectangular NES which uses through hole. There's also a lot less space inside the controller. So the mod would be much more difficult to perform on a Dog Bone. Also Dog Bones are fairly uncommon and getting pricier, so I would rather see someone convert the old rectangle.

I have a pair of these. (modded already)

Ive done both back to back (dogbone and regular nes) one is not harder than the other.

I only harvest controllers that otherwise do not work.

I have like 5 dogbones are they that rare ?

Also it has a few SMD resistors but the chip on both is through hole.
