make you own. www.buildyourownarcadecontrols.com it'd be easy as shit to interface a joystick and buttons to an nes pad.

Technically the NES Advantage is a third party joystick since ASCII developed it for Nintendo.

An NES padhack would be quite simple.

yeah that sounds cool and all but i am just an idiot with no technical knowledge. i mean ive done progects like this before like wiring a guitar and fixing minor things on electronics. but if i brought this to a electronics specialist, do you think he could make it for me? or who could make this for me on a local level not from the forums?

i know people are quick to criticize messiah for a variety of things, but their NES stick really is a work of art. recommended.

you dont need knowledge. it gives a step by step instruction. If you know how to read the back of a box of hot pockets to cook them, you can do this.

The wiring and electronics of such a project would be absurdly simple. The woodworking would be much harder, unless you happened to be good at that stuff.

It may be "easy as shit" to interface a joystick and buttons to an NES pad, but obviously it's a lot harder for you to type in the proper URL...

By "wiring a guitar" I take it you mean wiring in the potentiometers and varicaps (the knobs) to the pickups, etc.? If you can do that, a padhack isn't any harder. Just solder wires onto the button lands (pads), and the other ends onto microswitch terminals.

And if you don't think you can do that, just go to Radio Shack and buy a soldering iron, solder, and solder braid (wick) and practice soldering wires onto a old junk circuit board. Doesn't take too long to get the hang of it. At least not for the skill you need to do a padhack. Once you try it, you'll say "Gee, this wasn't too hard!"
