Awesome NES Controller Restoration and Mods! 

So it seems to work, that's good news!

Just what I was thinking...

Same here

That is how I clean my stupid games.

Game Sack in the summer I prefer to grill them

i prefer to mircowave them.

Another good tip is to pour some caustic soda into a bath and throw all your consoles and controllers into it, gets them really clean.

thanks. cleaned my dreamcast right up!

Nutz4Gunz45 great tip! I'm going to start using that on my controllers!

Nevermind my original comment! There are Nintendo brand rubbers on eBay though. Really sucks we can't just get the rubbers at KB Toys or Toys R Us, like you could years ago. Really miss both stores.

Is this before, or after we strap on?

Just remember not to get that Peter North Special Sauce on any solder joints.

Now what are we going to do when our little sibling trips over the cable! It'g going to pull the Nintendo down AND wreck the controller.

@@npiper the problem is actually the connection

At least it was his own human skin cells. Its kinda gross cleaning controllers you find in the wild. Who knows what they did to those controllers.

My favorite part is the brushing on the membranes. Very ASMR!

charvelgtrs that is a very good point.

Right??! Everyone can do something like this and have a fun, sensual time!

Well, not everyone. I'll likely find some way to break the Gameboy buttons too.

Looks like snes buttons would fit as well... Seriously

Same

nowonmetube I’ve tried using SNES buttons in an NES controller. They have those extra spurs that act as “keys” to fit in the proper holes in the shell that can easily be cut off. The problem is, there is a depth difference in the button itself. SNES buttons are already more shallow, rim to center, so when you put them in place they are already pressing down on the membranes and they don’t work properly. Not sure if Nintendo did that on purpose or what? All kinds of Gameboy replacement buttons are available on eBay and online stores, in tons of colors. Those actually are the correct depth. Hopefully this helps, even though I’m very late to this party. ☹️

Indeedddddd

Keith Gable is worried about the cable.... Sounds like a Dr. Seuss spinoff.

You... have issues... Jus sayin'...

I found a dead rat in a Sega Saturn once. Thanks for your comment bud

@@twee881 htf did it get in?

I had a used dmg that I took everywhere for a few months and played Tetris on I didnt have tools to open it at the time but when I did I found out I was playing Tetris on a portable cockroach graveyard

No he said nes were concave

@@EPICZAMZ No, he said the gameboy buttons where concave at 15:08

Yes they are convex. He made a mistake.

Evidently some people do X^D

For any of you wondering which 3rd party controller's membranes I used. I used a Turbo Tech NES controller.

Yuuup thinking about the same, and that its not only similar, its really transfer paper, and its there to use it and help you.

They are harder to push, not as good for games that need fast action

Is it possible to make a custom NES controller that looks like a normal OEM controller shell, however it has a hidden turbo feature/Macro that is self contained, and runs on original NES console. Where you could set a direction on the DPAD to have turbo as well as B button with Turbo function? Also would it be possible to do this while "hiding" the turbo/macro switch from plain view?

Sid Gallup sounds like a short to me same thing happened to me when one pad of a component didn't have enough solder on it

Nicotine build up. If from a smokers home.

Vulcanization of the rubber, I'll have to try that sir.

Hey if you love the NES MAX like me try this simple mod I made (I promise is not a Xbox 360 joystick) atariage.com/forums/topic/268166-love-the-nes-max-but-hate-the-cycloid-add-a-d-pad/?fromsearch=1

Not the ones in the video, but you can find some custom inlays if you look up GrafxGear.
