(Resolved) Can i connect NES Controllers on the 9-pins famiclone port ?

[ProgWare]

Hello world !

I have two original NES controllers (Made in Japan), and a famiclone with 2 9pins controller ports and one ext. port
Q: Can i connect the 7pins nes controllers on this Famiclone? how?

Basically, what you will need to do is make an adapter. The  pinouts for the Famicom-style EXT port and the NES controller ports should be freely available online. Find a low-density DB-15 connector for the EXT port. Then what you will need is to either find some NES controller receptacles (chop some extension cables) or hardwire to the NES controllers. This is of course assuming your Famiclone actually properly implements everything that ought to be present on the EXT port.

On a real Famicom you can connect pads for players 1-4 just on the EXT port, as well as the light gun and data recorder. That's alot of stuff. It's entirely possible your famiclone might not have all those pins hooked up. In which case you will need to open your clone controllers and try to determine their pinout, so you can adapt the NES controllers accordingly.

Either that, or modify a controller to fit. I've changed DB-15 to NES 7-pin and converted a DB-9 pin socket to an NES 7pin socket, so yeah.......it's possible.
