Nes Max Controller - Ideas wanted
Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2020 12:35 pm
Hey all,
I managed to get my hands on an old NES Max Controller, and I'm looking for ideas what I can do with it.
I was thinking I would try turn it into a bluetooth controller, but not sure if there's enough space. Would be amazing if I could somehow get it working with the Switch.
circuit board with a snes controller for size comparison What approaches could I take?
- Modify one of 8bitdo's kits
- Hack a 8bitdo Zero 2 controller controllers perhaps. Not sure how I'd get a working board in there, but maybe it's possible
- I've seen some tutorials for DIY bluetooth controllers, maybe more feasible, but I guess it wouldn't work with the Switch then.
- Hack a joycon board into it somehow.
- Question whether to keep the D-pad, or maybe try put in an analogue controller.
My electronics skills are modest, so I also want to do something I can actually achieve.
Thanks very much!
