"And the book says: 'We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us.'"
Just buy a third party Famicom joypad with a longer cord. They plug into the db15 connector on the side of the Famicom.
The connector on mine, as far as I can discern, is in the front under a red cap. But that sounds fantastic anyway. Where can I find one of these?
just get a old nes controller cut the
wire and solder it to your Famicom
Well, due to the way that the famicom controller connects, that's gonna be tough. It's a connector, but one which appears non-removable. The FamiController doesn't solder straight to the board.
I've decided to just leave it be, or find a controller to plug into the extension port. I don't want to harm the authenticity of the thing; the more I think about splice, dice, and solder, the less of a good idea it seems.
Indeed, I set my TwinFamicom on a TV tray (also used for GT wheel and Saturn VirtualOn TwinStick) near where I'm sitting when I use it, works great.
That would by far be the cleanest way to give you a longer cord.
Hudson soft (that funny little bee) company made a 3rd controller witch may or may not have longer cord that used the port on the front of the famicom. There's one on ebay right now with a rack of some sort to keep everything together

A months-after reply!
I bought a wireless 3rd-party controller which works great!
A better choice, for a NES, or A/V Famicom, might be an Advantage (so-so) or a XE-1 PRO FC (probably better).
