Thanks, Strell! We'll be good shepherds of your contribution if we hit our goal!

Sarang, We're definitely in scope creep territory here. :) I think that mimicking add ons that only work for a tiny number of games is probably outside of what we can focus on for launch. As I mentioned, though, we're planning to let other people hack on our code as well, so if you know anyone...

We've done some basic rumble tests with the Wiimote, but haven't hooked up the full rumble experience. I think it's in scope, though. We'd like to support memory cards for both the N64 and Dreamcast, but we haven't gone too far down that road yet. I'm not sure exactly what it would look like --...

Saturn is probably the only mainstream system we don't own, although we're going to track one down. The Saturn protocol looked very similar to Genesis and Dreamcast (which makes sense), so once we get Genesis and Dreamcast working, we'll get on it. Also, re: Sarang01: the point of Awesome...

We remember all of you guys from our original announcement, and we're glad that you're still excited about it!

We just found out about the MC Cthulhu this morning from a question on our Kickstarter. Looks cool, and we might buy one just to play with it! I think we have a few differentiators: 1. Wireless 2. Open source, upgradable firmware 3. No soldering required #1 is a big one for me. #2 is nice...

Some friends and I have been working on a project part-time for the last year to allow you to play old consoles (NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, etc.) with modern Bluetooth controllers (Wiimote, Dualshock 3, etc.). We finally launched a Kickstarter project at...

We just thought it would be kind of silly to have a 6 foot cable with a wireless adapter on the end, but maybe there's a certain charm to that type of "wireless." We promise not to break into your house, forcibly remove all of your old controllers, mod them, and return them without you...

Sorry for the slow reply -- we've been working on the N64 the last couple weeks. It's a bit more difficult, but we're making progress. (We made a silly little video of us just sending the signal for the A button over and over: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2IZ7xKDsA8) After we release our...

Hi there, Last weekend, some friends and I built an adapter that lets you play NES and SNES with a Wii or PS3 controller for a competition called Startup Weekend. (We posted about it in one of the other forums before the weekend started.) Well, we won the Indianapolis Startup Weekend, and now...

Also, forgot to respond to @detectiveconan16 -- I hadn't thought of buying extension cables, but it turned out to be a brilliant idea. I bought a bunch of them and spared all of my SNES controllers. Thanks for the suggestion!

Just responded, believe it or not! Regarding the Android/Wiimote controller mod you mentioned, we'd love to do some ongoing hacking like that. Our plan is to market ourselves as an open hardware company and provide tutorials and tips so that even if we don't deliver a particular product, we...

Hey guys, Thanks for signing up. I think you already got an email from us to try out some pricing. @Strell: Stage 1 is making and selling the adapter. Stage 2 is having people send us their old controllers, modding them with Bluetooth, then selling them an adapter while we're at it. :) Doing...

@catabarez: We decided to put up a landing page just so we could have one place to collect email addresses and let people know. Sign up at www.awesomecontroller.com (nice domain, right?) if you want to get notified by email. Otherwise, I'll try to PM you here if we end up getting it solved...

@detectiveconan16: Thanks for the video -- I hadn't seen that yet. Our plan is to build a universal receiver with a swappable per-system adapter. That is, take your receiver, and connect the NES adapter. When you want to play SNES, disconnect the NES adapter and plug in the SNES adapter. And so...

I'm finally fed up with having like 20 controllers in variously working states (mostly N64 controllers with wobbly joysticks and Genesis controllers with sticky buttons). Some friends and I are considering building an adapter for all old game systems to let you play with a PS3 or Wii controller...

They were sitting on a shelf above the iPod accessories for me.

As with all Wal-Mart deals, possibly YMMV... I was at the Noblesville, IN Wal-Mart and saw clearance Wii points. You get 2000 points plus a little rubber sleeve for a classic controller for $7. They also had classic controllers + sleeves for $7. Hope it's widespread! (Edit: For those who...
