Nateo Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Just thought I'd show off a little of my experimentation with converting an NES game pad go work on a ColecoVision. I designed a little PCB for the keypad buttons, and used little tact switches in order to fit everything in the middle area of the gamepad. Not bad for a prototype, if I do say so myself! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still rather new to surface-mount soldering, so this was an excellent chance to get some practice in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
