Title: Is there a better site than retrozone for nes/snes usb converted gamepads?
Post by: thedyingmatt on March 05, 2005, 10:36:23 am

Topic pretty much says it all.  Been wanting a few of these for a while, just wondering if there's a better price/quality than the 25-26 dollars ones from retrozone.  I don't know if there's even another place to get them, so feel free to tell me "hey dude that's the only choice, supply and demand brooooo!"

thanks in advance

Ive never looked but I know a place better:  Your garage.

If you have a spare pad, you could give it a shot yourself, but USB might be a little tight because I think youll need to add a chip or so to tell your system that its a USB device.  It might just be better to order one unless you have a super-small game pad that youre willing to sacrifice.

yea...retrozone sent me a jacked up controller with a screwed up A button that has been chewed by a dog. The guy didn't replace it.
