If you were a kid of the ’80s, there is a great possibility that you had a Nintendo console in your youth, the traditional 8-bit NES. as well as if you were one of those NES owners, it’s for that reason most likely that the peripheral you lusted after was Nintendo’s arcade-inspired advantage controller. This replaced the game pad with a full-size arcade joystick as well as buttons, as well as has ended up being an costly as well as sought-after accessory in the years since.
[Bbtinkerer] has a NES Classic, as well as having gone with much more than one joystick that just wasn’t as much as the pressures of intensive gaming, chose to have a go at building one himself. The advantage was the apparent design to copy, as well as thanks to the Wii Retropad Adapter project, he was able to do so.
Faithful to the original in its layout, the new advantage clone features a Turbo mode for fast fire, though rather than the buttons you’d have had in the ’80s this design features a toggle switch. The joystick system utilized was a Sanwa JLF, as well as the buttons were Sanwa OBSF-30s. He’s published a video showing the completed product being put with its paces.
If the Nintendo advantage has caught your interest, you may like to see the one we featured a few years back that had a NES emulator board put inside it.
