MattG/Snyper2099 Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 I am posting this to see if there is any interest in such a controller. I want to know befor I o spend a bunch of $$$ on parts and then no one wants then. The controllers resemble a NES advantage and would cost appox. $50. If enough people are interested, i'll need abunch of dead 5200 controllers to start production as well. I have built a couple quality 5200 controllers that I have been using for over two years with no problems whatsoever. Anyone have the slightest bit of interest? Oh btw, I'm intitailly making hardly anything on these... it costs $30 a piece just to build the things not to mention about 5 hours of work. Thought I should try and share my 5200 controller solution with other if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Is it possible to post pictures? Is the controller self centering and analog? Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylentwulf Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 If you can get a picture up I would think you'd get a LOT of interest. Even finding new controllers on ebay costs a fortune, and you know that even a collector can't keep the damn things working... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 Please be more specific -- I would be interested, but what is it like (the Wico, Command Control, etc.) Please elaborate and great idea. -- RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5200 Junkie Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Well, yes, i'd be interested, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-DEE Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 I would also be interested. Please post some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 24, 2001 Share Posted November 24, 2001 I am interested as well and I might even be able to provide a few donor 5200 controllers. If you can provide more information about your controller and how it improves on the original (which granted, isn't too difficult) that'd be great! And of course pictures are always welcome.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_man_myth_legend Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 I"m interested. I'd pay for one. You going to do this or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG/Snyper2099 Posted December 10, 2001 Author Share Posted December 10, 2001 I am sorry for the lack of info, I have had finals at school the past two weeks. I tell you being a senior in college sucks. Anyway, I understand now that I need to post some pics but everyone please be patient. The controller I've developed uses the origional pots for the analog inputs but has remapped buttons that don't crap up. Like I said above, it's not that different from a nes advantage joystick. I have to bring all the junk to school with me to get some good quality pics in our lab. I'll try to have them up here this week.

bangles66 Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Good Luck on your finals. I'll still be here when you finish finals and get the info on the controllers up. I've waited this long for a good 5200 controller so a little longer is no big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourth Horseman Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Count me in as a potential customer as well. If the pics look good I'd be interested in getting one. I'm not familiar with the advantage stick you're referring to. Can somebody point me to a link so I can see what they look like? I'll do some Google hunting as well... - FH - Edit followup: Found a link with what the NES Advantage looks like. NES Advantage Something like this for the 5200 would be great! I'm most definitely interested. [ 12-11-2001: Message edited by: Fourth Horseman ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
