Now that's a nice GBC. If you sold a replacement shell like that I'd go buy another GBC, lol.

And your link is broken btw.

Thanks!

Fixed! Copied and pasted from my DP post and that site seems to handle hyperlinks differently than TCP :/

I too am seeking wireless SNES and 64 controllers.  Wiggy knows this.  I actually contacted you, I think, with that guy's design for the SNES a while back.  It would be awesome if you started cranking those out.  I'd buy one for sure.  Maybe even 2!
Just saw something the other day about Retro-Bit doing some of these later this year. The article said they would have something to show at E3 which is just a few weeks away.

There are already wireless controllers from retrobit, but they're aftermarket, and this sorta iffy.

The plan I have is to offer wireless upgrade kits for original SNES and other controllers ;)

I own the retro bit controllers for SNES. they are not very good. when you are pressing up on the directional pads. it also presses right which makes it hard to play a lot of games. I would just stick to using the official nintendo controllers over retro-bit.

And that game boy color looks amazing!

Good to know. I was keeping those in the back of my mind. Won't bother with them.

Wiggy If I get into University I might have to make a custom order with you for a special gameboy to celebrate. ^^

May I ask what is the average price so that I can save till then (I'm talking about ordering in maybe 3-4 months)

I know, I have some SNES ones and they are terrible but these were supposed to be different somehow. Wireless for original controllers would be amazing.

Luckily the SNES Controller's cord plugs in to the PCB,
instead of the soldiered connection that Sega did with their controllers.

Making a Wireless Upgrade for Sega Controllers is still doable, if Wiggy wants to do that too, but it could mean more work for him (or everyone).  :P
If it's a do-it-yourself-kit, it would be nice if he also included
a new internal connector/plug you can soldier to a Sega Controller PCB, that could act as a plug,
so we could more easily switch back to Wired,
or quickly swap in a later revision/new version of his Wireless Upgrade Kits for Sega Controllers.

OR, he could just make a whole new, one-piece PCB, that will not require the end-user so soldier anything.  ;D
Actually, that would probably be the best option, since the original (pads on the PCB that the buttons jam into, in order to make an electrical bridge, unless it's magnetic) are probably worn out, anyway.

I was looking at the Retrobit wireless, but I held off to hear some other opinions after seeing this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_evK_phxhYE

I'd be interested in wirless snes controllers if someone made a nice one.

While I already had the tools and materials out to build the wiggy shelves 2.0, I figured I'd make a display case for be CCAG show next month since it was already on my list of to-dos :)



Now I just gotta stuff it with modded portables ;D

That case needs a stain and a nice oil rub. Also, It needs a back light.
Yes that's right. You need a backlight to backlight your backlights!
