I'll take a photo of all my controllers later. For now, here's the N64 pads:

I have a more sensible number of controllers for other systems...

I'm officially jealous...

Are those N64 controllers with the switches on the top 1st party?

**kiger** · 07-24-2009, 08:00 PM

That is a TON of N64 pads... btw, I never noticed this before, but hmm... apparently N64 pads have a third leg..

**emceelokey** · 07-24-2009, 08:54 PM

I know I have that SNES stick with the staggered buttons but I can't find it. I also have that "Retrocon" controller for PS2 somewhere.

Couple of variants

WOW those are SICK! Are those LED lights on the buttons?! Also, is that a hologram or what in the center of each pad?

I do collect a few controllers myself. Here's the SNES/SFC group; I hope I'll get a chance to photo the other systems sometime. I added a name and brief description for each one (naming starts in top left and moves across to the right first, then down to the next row). I'll list the manufacturer and model number too if I know it. For joysticks, I'll mention if they're "clicky" or "squishy" style (some have a definite metallic microswitch click; others feel like rubber or plastic resistance only. I prefer clicky).

1. Naki "ProPlayer". Dual plug adapter for SNES/GEN, turbo for each button, slow-mo, suction cups on base, squishy.
2. Quickshot "Conqueror 2" (QS-186). Programmable/ Learns button sequences, slowmo/turbo, LEDs light up for each button and direction, round gray button cluster rotates 270 degrees, custom buttons, clicky.
3. QuickJoy "SN Programmable" (SV-336). Programmable w/ LCD screen, 5 custom buttons, slow-mo and autofire. round button cluster rotates 30 degrees, clicky.

Controller Accessories

1. Tyco "Power Plug". adds features (auto, steer, thrash, pro, clone, turbo, slow-mo) to any controller plugged into it
2. Performance "Super 5-Play" adapter.
3. BPS "Super Link" multi adapter.

6. my custom-built NES/SNES USB adapter. Custom chip from Retrozone fitted into body of NES Fourscore; works as NES or SNES adapter (but not both at the same time). I took female SNES plugs from two extension cables, carved holes in the case with a razorblade, and secured them with epoxy. I added the custom chip and wired it to the SNES and NES ports, fitted the original cord strain relief around the new USB cord, and sealed it up. Fun project.

@actofgod

That is an amazing collection! I see you have a TopFighter. I bought one off ebay because I thought it looked so cool, and it was limited to only 5,000 or something like that... then when I got it I was like... this is a pile of junk! Live and learn I suppose.

Still... I can't believe all the different pads you have. You're like a fricking controller history museum.

Incredible! I never even dreamed of something like that before! Talk about cool.

By the way, please post your other collections! I can't wait to see them. Talk about hardcore!

no leds in the button but that would be sweet if they did.
the pics change to 3 different poses when tilt it . (i dont know what the proper term for the moving picture is)
i paid 30 bucks for both.

**fahlim003** · 07-25-2009, 11:23 AM

Alright, I doubt I'll ever do this again as my controllers are often mostly packed away and in seperate locations so here goes.

There's everything, for every console I own pardon Atari 2600 controllers. I also omitted photos of a Interact SuperPad for SNES, 2 3 button Genesis controllers, & 1 other black Mk2 Saturn controller which has a severed cable.

My current PC controller.

This one I quite like as it shows the progress, sans SCPH-1080, of the PS1 controller.
First is the SCPH-1010 (first launch pad), then the large SCPH-1180 Dual Analog, and finally the more familiar SCPH-1200 Dual Shock.

I might have been interested to include a photo of the Real Arcade Pro's box too but then the photos would've been really large. Now, to put all this away!

The proper term is Lenticular.

I've never seen an orange Saturn pad before. Is that usb or for Saturn?

USB. It came with the PC version of Puyo Puyo Fever. I got this stand-alone a few years ago off Yahoo Japan. There was another pad like this that was marketted for Macs, it was a nice cool grey/green arrangement as opposed to the orange of mine.

**PapaStu** · 07-25-2009, 02:03 PM

fahlim003 Do you think you could cut down those picture sizes a little? Especially those last two. Those are HUGE.

300kb is huge? Not to mention they were all the same size roughly. All the same it is not a big deal, downsized.

Really? The TopFighter is rare? I picked one up in a thrift store for five bucks, mainly because I thought it was a PS1 controller (I don't own a SNES and didn't recognize the controller plug). It's cool that I have a rare fighting stick, but I don't think I'll ever use it since I really don't collect for Nintendo consoles.

One (with the shorter udders) is made by Hudson. The other is made by ASCii.

I'm an avid controller collector as well. Heck, with emulation so prevalent, it really comes down to the variances in hardware that make the gameplaying experience.

Here are some of my Playstation controllers.

Yeah, really rare. Mine came in the original box and had this certificate saying it was only 1 of 5,000 or so made. It was personally signed by who knows. It was supposed to be the highest quality stick you could buy with the money at the time, but after handling a HRAP I have to somewhat disagree lol.

**tom** · 07-26-2009, 09:58 AM

anyone on here own this (for VCS):

**james42519** · 10-03-2009, 02:06 AM

about the only controller i have that is not just a regular one is Dominator Master Control for nes made by nexoft. it is a wireless controller and i usually just plug a nes controller into it to use the wireless on it so i don't have to move the nes to play. don't see people talk about this thing much for some reason.

there is also a gun that uses this same recivor thing too i think. forget what that is called though.
