I have an joy-pad whit not so comfortable shape to hold and play with it , so I decide to make a new PCB and put it in a new shell (NES/famicom clone joystick)

With this joy-pad you can play DOS games in poor DOS environment ! even on PC 8086 ;D :gamer: :crazy:
Of course you can play Windows games too :) all 32bit Windows versions are supported , sorry 64bit versions do not support game/midi port :( Microsoft for some reason dropped it >:(

I think it's an excellent job - pretty neat-o :)

There's always the Buffalo USB controllers for modern (64-bit) Windows.

Haha nice! Will save your PCB design! :)
Are the contacts working all right?

Well done. Use laminator, if you can get one and heat up etching liquid next time.

thanks, d-pad contacts are all right! but strangely the buttons are not so good so I added a little peaces of
tin-foil, now they works great . Only start and select are not so good even with tin-foil, because the rubber design (small contact field) :)
