Easy to assemble, and an excellent seller!

For 4dapter: Switch / MiSTer Retro Controller Adapter

I originally bought this adapter to quickly test dozens of retro nintendo controllers that I had recently purchased. The kit was fun and easy to assemble! Even though I was a little careless and didn't double check soldering the smallest component, my mistake was easily fixed and didn't cause any damage.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get my computer to recognize any controllers that I plugged in. After contacting the seller & double checking everything over messages, eventually they agreed to send me a new adapter while I returned my current one. It turns out that I messed up when installing the firmware, and that my original adapter works just fine. My bad!

I'd honestly buy more adapters if I had a proper use for them- they're compact, reliable, affordable, and all around great. If you want or need an adapter, this is it!

Amazing piece of hardware

For 4dapter: Switch / MiSTer Retro Controller Adapter

Excellent product. This is the best way to play retro games on Nintendo Switch with the original controllers. Highly recommended product.

High Quality and Great Service

For 2MB/32KB MBC3 RTC Flash Cart for Game Boy (Color)

Modded GB carts are super high quality and work great. Shipping was lightning fast. Very happy customer.

Great product, seller, and experience!

For 4dapter: Switch / MiSTer Retro Controller Adapter

Tim responded to all my noob questions thoroughly and super fast. Shipping was quick and safely packaged. I'm now using my original controllers on my switch with less lag than my 8bitdo pads, and will be happily buying another for my Analogue Pocket. Great Seller! Thanks for the rad product!

Amazing work

For 2MB/32KB MBC3 RTC Flash Cart for Game Boy (Color)

Honestly these carts were so well done. The soldering work was superb, the customer support and communication was spot on, and the shipping times were great too. Obviously Tim can't control how USPS is going to handle the package, but he packed it so well and sent it out within the very next day. I've had no issues with these carts. I highly recommend them over getting any knockoff aliexpress carts. The saves on those will stop working and the RTC doesn't work. But these are genuine OEM carts and I've had no issues with saves or RTC functionality. Again, can't recommend enough.

Stellar, as expected!!!

For 4dapter: Switch / MiSTer Retro Controller Adapter

I picked up a couple of the DIY Triple Controller kits last year so I could use my OEM controllers with my then-brand-new MiSTer and they blew me away with not just the quality of their parts, but also their documentation. This new version is no different! You get the same build quality of the originals, now with a GLORIOUS N64 addition!!! I ordered four kits right when they were posted (N64 on the MiSTer, no-brainer) and after finally finding the time to assemble my first one a few nights ago, I can report that everything soldered together quite intuitively. The ONE thing to watch out for is to not heat up the pins of the N64 port too much, as it seems like the plastic used for that connector may be of a bit lower quality than the others. I did manage to start melting the plastic a bit upon my first attempt (even with a temperature-controlled soldering iron), but fear not! Our dear seller must know that this is an issue, as my order came with with multiple spares without me even knowing that would happen! A+!!!

But yeah! I just wanted to provide another little glowing review after getting through the hard part, as all that's left is to fire up the 3D printer for the case and flash the firmware! (And assemble the other three, obviously... hehe)

Great addition to my Mister FPGA setup

For 4dapter: Switch / MiSTer Retro Controller Adapter

After googling around for original controller adapters for mister fpga, I first landed on the triple page first but also saw this and with N64 core moving along fast I felt this would be the better of the two to get.

I went with the DIY kit since I know how to solder and the loading the firmware didn't seem that big of a deal to me and I own a 3D printer to make the case

I personal would say the case is very important to protect that N64 port since it gives a lot of support

over all the experience on PC and Mister has been great, I highly recommend if you are someone that wants to use their original controllers, I will be buying a second one in the future for any co-op sessions.

Kenn | Nov. 2, 2023

AWESOME addition to my MiSTER setup!

For 4dapter: Switch / MiSTer Retro Controller Adapter

4dapter was easy to get setup & running, and works flawlessly with all the cores that you would want to use with it; solidly built too. Highly recommended!

Oliver | Oct. 8, 2023

Great product

For 4dapter: Switch / MiSTer Retro Controller Adapter

The item was delivered to me in the UK within a week (7 days). I bought it as a kit to save a little bit of money and it was a simple process from beginning to end. I opted to go for the xinput firmware and I'm now happily enjoying using one of my old Super Famicom controllers in emulators on my PC with very little input lag. Recommended.

Perfect low latency retro controller adapter!

For Triple Controller - MiSTer/Analogue Pocket Adapter

Excellent, low latency controller adapter that worked plug and play out of the box on PC and MiSTer. Build quality was great, and shipping was very fast.

Graciela | Aug. 12, 2023

Excellent product.

For 2MB/32KB MBC3 RTC Flash Cart for Game Boy (Color)

The PCBs look of very good quality, they make life easier in this world of reproductions. Or to translate Japanese ROMs.

Max | May 5, 2023

Perfection

For 2MB/32KB MBC3 RTC Flash Cart for Game Boy (Color)

These work super well and the documentation is good. The adapters were well packaged and shipped pretty fast to the UK. I will definitely be back for more.

Tyler | Jan. 11, 2023

Perfect Gameboy cart!

For 2MB/32KB MBC3 RTC Flash Cart for Game Boy (Color)

Shipping was super fast and the cartridge not only looks amazing but works perfectly! The soldering and wire work looks great! I can't wait to order another one!

Jason | Jan. 1, 2023

This is a steal at the current price!

For Triple Controller - MiSTer/Analogue Pocket Adapter

Pros:
I beat Mike Tyson's Punch Out using a Mister, 12ms LCD display, OEM NES Controller, and this adapter. In my opinion there is no better test for lag. So Yay!
Super Easy to Assemble and 3d print (I purchased the DIY Kit)
Quality of the board is great.
Communication with the seller was outstanding.

Cons:
Not the sellers fault but the NES Port in my opinion is garbage and I had to fiddle with a couple NES-004 I had that just didn't want to make a good connection.
Step by Step instructions would be great but really not that hard to figure out.

Your DIY, one-stop-shop for OEM controller goodness!

For Triple Controller - MiSTer/Analogue Pocket Adapter

What an awesome kit!!!

I just started diving into the MiSTer ecosystem last week and, after turning it on for the first time (while gawking over how much it could do), I knew that "tackling the controller situation" would definitely be "Step One". Given that the SNAC functionality was a bit of a finicky lift for two-player situations, I sought out a USB solution that would afford ANY player the lowest latency/lag possible. This led me down the DaemonBite YouTube rabbit-hole and, with a bit more digging, I found a video outlining the assembly, flashing, and testing of this kit.

We're talking five stars across the board for this one! The included parts and PCB are high-quality. The code is easy to flash. The 3D-printable cases fit around the innards perfectly (provided you're a DIYer like me and went the extra mile to print them out at home!). Just exemplary work...

Now, onto how you SHOULDN'T do what I did: I was so green regarding the MiSTer's, just, BASIC FUNCTIONALITY that I didn't understand how to initialize a controller... I thought I read that MiSTer's main menu basically defaults to the SNES button layout, so I naively assumed that ANY controller you'd eventually plug into the USB hub would just automatically work with the same mappings. I'll spare anyone reading this my debugging process by saying this: When you plug this amazing device in for the first time, grab a controller that HAS been initialized and navigate to System Settings > Define Joystick Buttons. Now grab the controller that's connected to this device and define the button map.

Whew!

It's been smooth sailing once I figured out how to use the dang MiSTer and, as an added bonus, you don't have to remap any buttons when switching between NES/SNES and Genesis cores!

Wonderful addition for a MiSTer

For Triple Controller - MiSTer/Analogue Pocket Adapter

The Triple Controller adapter is the perfect complement for a MiSTer setup. Having the original controllers is something that's difficult to replicate with 3rd party controllers.

The adapter works beautifully and adds zero extra lag,

Pick one or 2 up, they work really well.

Ryan | Feb. 24, 2022

This is the hero adapter your MiSTer deserves (and needs)

For Triple Controller - MiSTer/Analogue Pocket Adapter

I've been searching for a combo adapter for a long time and this ticks all the boxes. Buying individual adapters really adds up so this represents great value. I went for the assembled USB-C version and it works wonderfully on MiSTer - plug and play, no noticeable input lag, 3D case is solidly built and overall it's very high quality. Timville has put together an amazing product and was so helpful with my questions. Arrived to the UK very quickly. Highly recommended!

Bourabaa | Feb. 2, 2022

parfait.

I bought 4 and all were perfect!

For Triple Controller - MiSTer/Analogue Pocket Adapter

Timville is excellent at what he does, these are professionally and simply designed, he picks out known good Arduino Pro Micro's. I've ordered both the micro usb and the usb-c kit. He's helpful, active, and definitely ships things very quickly. Thanks again Timville!

Excellent Quality

For Triple Controller - MiSTer/Analogue Pocket Adapter

The 3d printed case is nice and smooth, the build quality is excellent, very sturdy. The usb type-c version looks great and works well with the MiSTer FPGA.

Does exactly what it’s supposed to

For Triple Controller - MiSTer/Analogue Pocket Adapter

Been using a few days, works and looks great. Just make sure you have a good MicroUsb cable if you get that version, tried three before one worked

Dan | Oct. 27, 2021

Awesome project and value

For Triple Controller - MiSTer/Analogue Pocket Adapter

This was a really well-made and designed product. I'm using the triple controller to play arcade and 16-bit games on my PC. Also, I can't notice any input delay when using the controller and all three controllers show up as separate devices which is cool. Not sure if you can use multiple ports at once though. Lastly, this is such a great value other competing devices cost 2-3x this price and only allow one controller type to be used.

Here are a few tips I think could be helpful. I'm using an Arduino pro micro clone from AliExpress and found that the Sparkfun Arduino 5v pro micro drivers work great with the clone. I also tested the controller using gamepad-tester.com and it shows that down and right are being pressed. I thought something was broken or I had done something wrong but it actually works fine, not sure why the gamepad-tester is giving those readings.

Anthony | Oct. 13, 2021

A Great product

For Triple Controller - MiSTer/Analogue Pocket Adapter

The kit was shipped to me in the UK very fast. It performs perfectly and now I have the ability to use a SNES , NES and Atari style Joystick on both my PC and Mister.

I could not recommend this seller highly enough. Its an excellent product
