NES Controller MP3 player hack 72
Skadet writes "Martin Kersch of Germany made great use of a boring Saturday afternoon by transforming an ordinary USB Stick and NES Controller into an MP3 Player (original German). He even hacked the buttons on the controller to work with the mp3 player, "Start" is On/Play, and the directional pad functions as the song changer/volume control. Do you remember those NES Controller Belt Buckles? They should integrate these MP3 Players into those things."

I know from personal experience that you can fudge the code several ways on the original Contra and get things done. The original is UUDDLRLRBASeSt. You can also do UUDDLLRRBABASt, and several others. In Super C you type RLDUABSt (1 player) or RLDUABSeSt (2 player) for 10 lives or UUDDLRLRBASt (no Select) for 30 lives. Other Konami games use other variations of the code for other things. Some var

Also, there is no reason to doubt that someone could, in fact, make their own MP3 player with parts they can buy. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's impossible. (After all, how do you think these products get into the stores? Magic?)

is the summary lying? they said the buttons were mapped to do stuff.

look at that picture. the A and B buttons aren't even attached to anything.
perhaps it's just start/select and the D-pad that are mapped?
this kinda reminds me of that guy who claimed to have connected a USB keyboard to a PSP's USB port and written drivers to get it working. only pictures, no technical details. no proof.

It's the NES controller with built-in MP3 player. Wireless headphone included.
Also in development:
The NES MP3/phone. Only vibrates when someone calls. Wireless headphone included. Also vibrates when you press the B button.

" Btw., it is beyond me why some of the Slashdot folks are calling this a fake. All I did was disassemble an ordinary USB MP3 stick (a SHE MP-101 BD, to be exact), cut the NES controllers PCB to size, and wire the buttons to the MP3 players button contacts. The holes for the headphones and USB connector where indeed done using a dremel tool. This is of course not wizardry, but I still think its pretty cool to have a custom player like
