May 2 2007Make a wireless NES controller
If you're pretty serious about your mods and still play your NES, this tutorial is for you. I won't get into the technical stuff, but after some heavy work you'll end up with your very own wireless NES controller. Or a bird house, depending on how good you are at following directions.

Just curious, but how would you update the firmware on an NES?

You put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up, that's how.

Thanks. Oh, wait, I didn't ask how to update my coconut.

Oh, since the first post, I read that tutorial, and it turns out the controller would be meant for use on a gamecube and/or Wii. Not my fault I was ignorant, I was misled by Colin Powell and an Iraqi informant, who, I can only assume are now in charge of this site. Sic Semper Tyrannus!

My Daddy used ta make my Atari 2600 controllers wireless. And he wasn't no fandangled computer expert neither.
No, Daddy was jus' a bad tempered ol' drunk what sucked at Frogger. Too bad he never got good at makin' an Atari 2600 what could use them wireless controllers, but ev'ry man's got his limits, I guess.
He used ta make wall-mounted ashtrays using a empty can of Pilsner an' his fist too, but that's a story for another time.

I always sucked at making birdhouses, but at least they didn't involve transmitter circuit diagrams with labels like "iPod Mini Battery" and "PIC16F84A". Is Super Duper Mario 64 Plus really worth all that?
