Is there anything the NES and its controllers can't do? After seeing the evidence, we're guessing no. The latest? Some intrepid fan turned an old NES controller into a mouse, and now we want one. It's either that, or we want to do something cool of our own ... but the problem is, we're stumped. In these situations, we turn to you. If you had the means and the know-how to make something from an old NES or controller, what would you do? One of these examples, or something totally different?

Holy moley! There is nothing the NES can't be made into. The next thing should be classic controller. Or an airplane controller

I made an Atari controller out of a Nes controller. I used the plug/cord from an Atari controller and ran it into the NES controller. I just had to remove the chip from inside the NES controller and solder the Atari wires where the circuit would be completed when you pressed a direction or button. The Atari/NES controller works much better than the Atari joystick.
