Custom Built Atari 2600 joystick by Boss Level Contols

[BossLevelControls]

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.

Sorry about the duplicate pictures on this post.

Nice, gorgeous builds, especialky the wooden ones. I wish you well. Building custom controllers is hard work.

A 5200 controller with only 1 button?

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.

That Castlevania controller gives me the tingles.

Do you guys do any PC-Engine/TG-16 joysticks?

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.

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.

You really shouldn't ever sell anything you can't test to be sure of functionality. 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.

Ya man I agree 100%. 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.
