Does anyone have a partslist for a Nes to usb controller hack?

[muell67]

I want to hack a nes controller to a usb cable. I have the instructions I just dont know what size resistors and capacitors I need. Retrozone sells a kit for $17 but I think thats a little high for what you get.

I found this. Hope it helps let me know if you get it because I think you have to program the Eeprom chip they use

16. The resistors with the stripes are 1.5 KOhm. The capacitor marked 104 is 0.1 uF (or 100nF). The capacitor marked 334 is 0.33 uF (or 330 nF). The blue component is a 6.00 MHz ceramic resonator with built in capacitors. The article also states you need a PIC16C74; but that is for a 40 pin microcontroller. The correct Microship part number is PIC16C72 (28 pin).

What instructions are you using? I would have thought that any instructions would tell you what parts you need.

Personally, I recommend the following site:

I've not built the converter they describe, but I've heard good things.

I just bought a $5 USB keyboard and a few other odds and ends for my 2-controller setup.

Has anyone noticed RetroZone has updated their website with a couple rather cool devices?

Of course, I couldn't imagine spending the money to buy games on the virtual console, not to mention an adapter. But still, very cool.
