So, working out a mod and i need to know some information if anyone is willing to help.

Most use a 9 pin standard, the Atari 5200 and the Famicom use a 15 pin plug....it would be best to stick with a 9 pin connection or develop your own connection and adapt it to what ever controller you need.

SNK's AES/home console uses 15 pins as well.

if you just want a connector;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature

you could go the d-sub route, up to 50 pins!

or for the ultimate connector;



you could try a jamma connector, 56 pins!
