With 6 buttons on the CP and only 2 on the NES controller I have 4 extra unused buttons. Lots of games used Select and Start in game (like the star punch in Punch-Out!! and it is reall awkward to have to hit the front of the cabinet for those things. If I rewire, I'd lose functionality for the other emulators. Maybe the answer is to ditch the NES completely. |

Wire the two poles like this P1B4 input ______/______ Select input P1B5 input ______/______ Start input Switch open (Normal Mode) - All four inputs are separate. Switch closed (NES Mode) - Pressing either P1B4 or Select grounds both inputs, triggering both outputs. NES Emulator ignores P1B4. - Pressing either P1B5 or Start grounds both inputs, triggering both outputs. NES Emulator ignores P1B5. Scott |

Ditch the NES. Play NES games on a couch in front of your TV. |

My first bartop, I put everything on there with USB so I could play NES and stuff. I NEVER play it on there. Just get some NES/SNES controllers and another cheaper PI and hook to the TV. J_K_M_A_N |
