Custom Controllers?

[0078265317]

I'm not very good with electronics but was just wondering. I see a lot of custom controllers being made here for 5200. Has anybody made a writeup or video describing how it was dones. Probably won't be able to follow but was just curious how it was done. Be cool to see how some of these custom controller were made and what was involved.

Only custom controllers I have seen for 5200 are paddles. Everything else is an adapter of some sort.

Bohoki's the guy you want to talk to about those. He's made a few.

I've made a couple myself, one completely from scratch and one a 5200 trackball modified to be a joystick.

I just don't see there being much to write up other than the technical stuff that's already published around the 'net.
