This is a nice project to start with. I did this little guy about 3 years ago, maybe more. I love vintage video games. I have a huge collection that I have been putting together for a number of years. Mostly consists of North American region consoles. So I thought it was appropriate to turn one of my broken NES controllers into a USB hub for my Netbook.
How it was done:
Basically, I just took the sucker appart. Milled out the grooves inside. Drilled appropriate sized holes for the USB and power supply plug ins. Cut out the front for the LED's and USB ports. I then hot glued the hub's bread board to the bottom part of the the controller shell. Then screwed the thing together, with the original screws from the controller.
And there you have it! A wicked awesome use for your old and broken NES controllers.
