    A friend sold me a x-arcade with a fried pcb for 15$ (15$ canadian lol). So I took it home, pulled out a old snes controller I got for free with a broken case....and gave myself a fun weekend project. I present......the snex-arcade!

    and then I discovered that the snes pcb is backwards compatible with the nes so I made it nes compatible too

    This was just a fun little weekend project I did. I've since removed the snes controller pcb from the stick and turned it into a supergun stick. Mostly due to the fact that it feels better playing actual arcade pcbs with this stick then it does using it on snes/nes games.

    Cool! I think I might do this with a HORI stick I have lying around.

    That's pretty cool. Why was the second video removed?

    So you like it? Several people here have said it suffers from horrible lag.

    Have you tried any of the adapters?

    I took down the second video because it's pretty much the same thing as the first but just on a NES

    I have 2 x-arcades sticks. One is a regular one and the other is the one that's gutted and currently residing as a custom made supergun/genesis stick. My regular one I have the ps2 adapter for it. It works fine on both my pc and ps2 with zero lag (and I got it for dirt cheap as well). And the one in this video isn't using the x-arcade pcb I directly soldered a snes pad pcb onto the button switches on the inside of the stick.
