Finally got my Nintendo joystick installed. I'm really glad I did. Having the real Nintendo joystick in there makes the whole project worth wh...
Wait. Turns out the Nintendo stick is broken and I'm putting the Wico back in. Nevermind.

You owe it to yourself to buy a Double Donkey Kong board and put it in there with a real CGA monitor. Never pass up an opportunity to spend more money.

I've considered this several times. Then I turn it on and play all of the Donkey Kongs for half an hour or so and ask myself, "More Cowbell? Why bother?" The answer is always, "Well, More Cowbell, save the money and headache." If I ever look to sell it, I think I will put in the time and effort and expense to make it complete. I may even install the Nintendo joystick if it hasn't spontaneously combusted as they are known to do.

There is no such thing as a broken Nintendo joystick. But, given that it is running MAME and using a PC monitor, there is no need for authenticity with regard to the joystick.
