Modded NES and SNES controllers work wirelessly with Wii

I thought it was cool, could be fake, could be real....



Judging by the sheer number of mods and hacks for the NES that are out there, we'd have thought the limit to the number of things that it's possible to do with the hardware is close to being reached. Apparently not: as this latest mod by a guy called Mark Feldman proves, as long as the games stick around, people will go to extraordinary lengths to get authentic hardware to go with it. Mark's wireless NES controller mod for Wii involves opening up a Snes and Nes controller, sticking a wireless transmitter, a microcontroller, and an iPod mini battery inside, and constructing a wireless receiver module with a GameCube cable on the end. Thanks to some sort of black magic -- Mark refers to it as "coding" -- when all this is put together, an off-the-shelf Wii can interpret the control input from the modded controllers, and the nostalgia-fueled gamer can play classic games on their virtual console without worrying about wires, and without a Wiimote-Tethered Classic controller. Full details of how to make your NES controller wireless, and how to code the microprocessor so that it'll understand the signals, are available on somewhere on google. Before attempting to execute any of the plans, we'd recommend warning friends and relatives that they may not see you for a while. Especially spouses: they tend to get worried when their SO disappears to the basement with a bundle of chips and circuitry.

very cool, I'm ok with my classic but thanks anyways. I still today think that the snes controller is the most comforable and funnest conrtroller. Although the n64 controller was awesome, it was uncomfortable :/

yes, the joystick on the n46 controller was pretty uncomfortable, ESPECIALLY TRYING TO PLAY MARIO PARTY, i preferred games that used the D-Pad like tetris and kirby

This is legit. I've seen someone who did this, although for the life of me, he won't make me one.
