Title: 5 Free Nintendos - GONE
Post by: ften on March 12, 2005, 02:49:08 am

I won an auction on Ebay for 5 Nintendos and all I wanted was the controller ports out of them. You can have them for the price of shipping. It shouldn't be too hard to rig up your own controller port, using online NES controller pinouts. If no one wants them for parts or to fix then they will be going To the attic to never been seen again... ;D

Break down of Nintendos;

2 Working (working meaning after you hit the restart a few times you can play the games, much like every Nintendo. I used Final Fantasy 1 and Skate or Die for the test.)

2 Probably Working - Missing 72 pin connector (10 bucks on eBay).

I might be interested in a working one...  24301

Scratch that...  the better half was already looking at me crazy when the Dreamcast "mysteriously" showed up next to the PS2 and Gamecube.   :D  This should go to a better home.   :P

Just curious...why would you rip controller ports out of Nintendos when you could have gotten DB9 housings for much cheaper, and without ripping apart a Nintendo?

       Because my front panel will look prettier with NES ports, plus i don't have to mess up the controller. I'll put a picture up of it when I'm done.
