Nintendo Playchoice 10
SavannahLion:
Right here on the forums I think. Check the Buy/Sell/Trade section.

You could always hack a Nintendo or Super Nintendo pad.
I think most of the consolized systems I've seen use Sega Genesis Controllers.
What kind of case are you planning on using?

That's quite a bit of hacking. Did they basically just gut the controller and rewire it? Do you have a link on what they did to get it to work?
I ask because an NES/SNES pad serializes the inputs. The 1st Gen controller uses a multiplexer. Neither strikes me as friendly to the all parallel inputs on arcade PCBs.
Of course, I'm not sure about how PC10's interface to their controls. Might be serialized for all I know. :dunno Isn't there an article out there about someone who hacked the hell out of an NES to play the arcade version of Super Mario Bros.?
asmida:
You are perfectly right about the Genesis/Megadrive Controller being multiplexed. However, check out page 19 and on in this article. It tells you how to build a circuit to decode the signals.

Great article for building a supergun or jamma test rig.
I'm not really sure about the Nintendo or Super Nintendo Pad, I just thought it would look cool.
I'm sure there are tons of other choices out there which would be easier.
Just my $0.02.

I can tell that it looks like a good way for most to go, to hack a NES controller, or in my case 2 of them to play the playchoice. But the thing is me and my brothers grew up playing this and have always loved the joysticks that are on it. Now I have to figure out a way to fit in a metal plate so my box will hold all of the orriginal top buttons that came on the playchoice, and the joysticks too.
