BossLevelControls Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hey everybody, Im new here at Atariage...or at least just a new member. Ive been a big fan of this site and store for some time now and was actually looking for another outlet to sell some of my handy work. When I get controllers finished and ready to sell, i Usually just post them to eBay and instagram but was looking for a little more exposure in the retro gaming community. All controllers built from wood and the cords robbed from old controllers with defunct pcbs and such. They are up on eBay now for 55$ plus shipping and can be found there by just searching this topic title. Or if you dont want to mess with eBay send me message and we can figure it out from there. I take orders for custom designs too if you have a specific color, art, button type, joystick type, layout and configuration, whatever it is youre wanting in you controller, feel free to contact me with questions or comments. Thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Nice, gorgeous builds, especialky the wooden ones. I wish you well. Building custom controllers is hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 A 5200 controller with only 1 button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I really like these! I think a cherry colored one with either the Galaxy print or the castelvania splatter background with the Japanese fuji logo wired up for a 7800 would be nice...Hmmm... Now...I know why you left the white around the pac-man ghosts so that they would stand out. However, it would look much better if you went over the graphics and put a black outline all the way around them, and remove the extra white. That way they stand out without looking like a cutout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnuth Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 That Castlevania controller gives me the tingles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonGrafx-16 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Do you guys do any PC-Engine/TG-16 joysticks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossLevelControls Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 A 5200 controller with only 1 button? Ya man its a 2600 controller. Those were some stickers I had left over from a sticker pack that I had ordered a while back. I wasnt trying to misrepresent the controller. Thought it would look good together even its not a 5200 controller. That Mario bros. game (arcade version especially) is one of my faves. The first Atari controller I made was literally with with that game in mind. I ended up using the decals even though they didnt have the right system#.....in retrospect I prolly shouldve left the 5200 decal off.

BossLevelControls Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Do you guys do any PC-Engine/TG-16 joysticks?I certainly can. And there’s a couple different options for going about it. The main setback is I don’t have a TG16/pcengeine to test it on though. I’ve found some multi console pcbs that I would be able to put into a controller box and solder in cables according to the appropriate pin outs. Those pcbs support tg16/pce, snes, nes, GameCube, sega saturn, Dreamcast, playstation1/2, ps3, pc and original Xbox. I’ve been wanting to start making joysticks that have these pcb’s so one could have a stick for most of their favorite consoles. I can test all of those except tg16. The other method require a direct “hack” of sorts to a turbograffix controller pcb. The answer is certainly yes, I can do a customized TG16 stick, or for any system really,, and if it is something you would be interested I am more than happy to discuss a project with you further. Feel free to shoot me a message on here or an email at cuznfree13@gmail.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was you, I'd be buying a TG16 before ever thinking about selling custom made controllers for it. That's just common sense I think you will agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve actually never shipped anything out that I couldn’t test first. I’ve been looking into getting a pc engine, mainly because the game library was bigger in Japan, it was more common so the hardware/software is a little less pricey and the controllers are region free. Another thing I’m going to look into is either a super gun or cmvs so that I can test out db15 controllers for jamma boards. Thanks for input man, I’m sorry I didn’t post a reply sooner.
