You know what, you should sell wireless contolls like this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LlnmfaILCHw.
Only, extend the plug out as an option for those who want to put the wireless ones on any console.

Seraph Man:
Hold on now, if he's making custom controllers, I'd rather he try to do a Hori DC controller.

Not that I expect Wiggy to make it. Would be nice though, so long as it's not $100+ like what you may find online.

If you're really interested in making something like that, I can give you a list of the materials you'd need to make your own castings. It's actually not too tricky to make a silicone mold for something like that.

denied a red DC once more!, oh well, im looking forward to the NES/SNES/N64 stack!

unfortunatly im doing too many projects to take on another one right now, maybe next year!

wiggy:
Been incredibly sick this entire week, so I haven't done anything at all. Still have a meeting scheduled with the potential manufacturer. I'll post updates as they happen. Just thought I'd give you guys an update.

wiggy:
Despite feeling like my world is ending, I got a little work done today.

Created info label for the bottom of the system and got a price quote. They'll be silver foil stickers just like on the original units :)

I think I'm gonna use WIG-SNS-101 as the model number. I'll probably use something similar for any future systems as well.

Still no specific name for the product. Suggestions are welcome ;D

Meeting on Monday with manufacturer at about noon, Eastern Standard time. I should have at least an idea about pricing at that point.

Looking at prices for wireless controller parts. I don't really want to redesign controllers since it would be extra work, extra $$$, and sorta pointless since the SNES controller is such an excellent design in the 1st place. If I do, it won't be a "re-design" so much as a revision that would allow me to more easily pack wireless bits inside and mount points for a discreet on/off switch & LED indicator.

Packaging is on back burner. Not sure all of what will be included at this point, so it's hard to estimate size/shape.

I will be offering S-Video and SCART upgrades to those that are interested. The parts are cheap, and I'll save headache by pre-wiring "kits" so that I can just slap em in without having to measure wire length and whatnot for every unit that I mod. It's 110% worth it IMO. I'll TRU and snap some conparisson shots this weekend between a few variants of the SFC running through both composite and S-video.

Not much else going on. New rendering software doesn't like my video card. So no new renders yet. Gonna pull out the old PC and try on it instead.

More to come...
