Title: Sega Genesis USB Controller with 4GB Storage
Post by: MrPete1985 on February 23, 2012, 03:18:41 PM: I got bored today and decided to make another controller this time I did a Sega Genesis controller, this controller will most likely end up as a birthday present for one of my friends

First I took everything apart

Next I removed and cleaned the holes where the original cord was connected

Pick a spot to mount the new components

Use my Dremel to grind down some posts that were in the way

Wire everything up

Test fit

And last attach a USB cable and close everything up

Post by: MrPete1985 on February 23, 2012, 04:50:34 PM: this one will probably be a gift for someone, it costs about $50 for all the hardware and takes about 2-3 hours to put together, I may make more and try putting them on craigs list
