Good, now the Fighting Commander 3 just needs to be made for the 360 and nobody will have reason to buy fightpads ever again.

2443

back to the dark ages of trigger inversion? :[
Well thank god I have five TE/SE PCBs sitting aroundā€¦

2444

:frowning: Need to buy more of those pads before they are gone.

So Iā€™ve been having a hankering to play some old snes games now that I have my ps3/pc modded snes controller. I decided I was going to play Earthbound again. So I went about setting it up on my netbook and hook it up to my big tv. Then I noticed I donā€™t have svideo output on my netbook. My roommateā€™s laptop does so I used his. I then sighed because I would have to transfer the files over to his laptop. This is where I got an ingenious idea. What if I put a flash drive inside the modded snes controller so I can have the games where ever I go without having to transfer them!?

Well this is what happens after I get these ideas:

Bill of materials:
SNES controller
Dual Strike SMD board
Rock Band USB hub
Flash Drive
USB cord

Earthbound is still as fun as I remembered it to be :slight_smile:

Smart thinking there Gummowned. Thatā€™s giving me ideas of putting GGPO on a flash drive and installing into a TE or the sort, but then again, GGPO is fine on a flash drive by itselfā€¦ hrmmmmā€¦ thinks in deep thought

Someone trying to steal your fire, Gummowned! Super Nintendo SNES USB Controller w/ 4GB INTERNAL - eBay (item 200517684069 end time Dec-07-10 23:21:21 PST)

But how exactly did you wire it to be both controller and flash drive? Iā€™m interested in trying something like that.

2448

lol wow. Whats the odds of that?

Mine plays on xbox1 and ps3 with home button so mines better :slight_smile:

2449

gummowned mod a gummy bear.

All Gum needs to do now is dual mod a Rock Band guitar (or throw a leo in it to kill the damned dongle) and the world would be a better placeā€¦

Theres a usb hub inside. The flash drive and dual strike smd are both wired to the hub.

I used a rock band usb hub and removed the usb ports to cut down on size. Also removed the flash drive casing and usb connector.

2453

Now that I think about it, Iā€™m surprised no one has requested me to do that.

2454

If you could figure it out Iā€™d send a guitar down right nowā€¦

2455

Iā€™ve actually thought about doing it myself, but my modding skills are sorely lacking.

2456

Wow, me neither. Iā€™m surprised because of the crazy amount of Rock Band players we have here. Of course, we have a lot of arcade sticks, too. And Iā€™ve only had to fix one dual mod so far. :sad:

2457

Random-ish question: About how much current does a Happ perfect 360 draw, and can I just hook it into the +5 and ground from the USB line on Xbox 360 or PS3s?

2458

4*((5-1.7ish)/220)~60mA
Yes.

2459

I wonder if the inevitable MvC2 TE will be forced to use the cover art:
Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Spreads the Love In February
Sad thing is, that artist has done some great work before. But this? This is like a minor Photoshop retouch of something Rob Liefeld left in a porcelain bowl somewhere.

Hey d3v, you feel up to making some replacement jacket art? Iā€™d bet a copy of the game you could make one way better.

2460

I could try, but Iā€™m not too god doing original art. I could probably however, come up with something using the existing character art.
