I just got a NES with 2 controllers and some games. I haven't owned a NES in about 16 years so I don't really know the tricks.
Anyway, I plugged it in, using the SCART (is that what it's called?) cable rather than the old antenna cable thingy.
Anywaaaay, the games start up fine, and the picture is clear, and I get sound in the beginning. However, my controllers do absolutely NOTHING! I have no idea why. If I unplug the controller while the start menu is up, things happen, and the game acts as if I pushed the start-button, but I just pulled the plug out. If I put the plug in again, nothing happens.
So, why is everything working fine except the controllers? What are the chances of getting two completely broken controllers with your NES? I think there is something else wrong here, but I don't know anything. :P
Help me out?
