Please don't stress, I think I can talk for everybody here saying that we really appreciate your effort making these and the last thing we want is for you to burn out and stop making these amazing things for us.

Take your time, anyone should understand the independent nature of this project, it's just one guy doing everything from designing the PCBs, assembling, packing, going to post office, etc.! Take as much time as you feel you need to do things right, and just keep people in the loop like you just did, no stress!

I still haven't been able to build my unit but I am really looking forward to the moment I can

Witchmaster, where do you get the D9 cables?

Cheers man!

I have put so much effort into this so it's frustrating when things go wrong that are out of my control. I will open a PayPal dispute against Seeed Studio soon if they continue not answering my emails.

I buy "Sega Genesis controller extension cables" from various eBay sellers. They have all 9-pins connected. I then cut off the male connector (no pun intended). I ordered a batch of 50 Sega Genesis controller replacement cables from a seller on Alibaba.com also over a month ago, but surprise surprise, I haven't received those yet.

MickGyver · 16 April 2018, 21:04

Seeed may have shipped the PCBs today, at least it says so on the website when I just checked. I haven't received a confirmation by email as a I usually do but fingers crossed. I was starting to think about other ways to do this.

Two months ago I did an order of partly assembled PCBs because I noticed I was getting too many orders than I could solder myself. So if all goes well now, I should receive a batch of partly assembled PCBs that I will use for preassembled orders and another batch of bare PCBs that I will use for kits.

I'm interested in 2 fully assembled gray controllers, if you still take orders.

21 April 2018, 02:16

I'm interested in two fully assembled controllers (any color) when they are available again.

Thanks!

amiga1260 · 23 April 2018, 21:20

I'm interested in three fully assembled controllers in Black when they are available again.

str0m · 24 April 2018, 09:11

Amazing project! I would like to get on the list for two controllers please, I don't mind which colour, just two of the same

Hope your suppliers stop messing you around

robinsonb5 · 24 April 2018, 23:42

Just finished building the first of my two kits - works a treat!

kgc210 · 25 April 2018, 19:44

I finally got round to building one of my two kits last night as well.

Really impressive, loads better than when the Joypad was a USB SNES one.
I think it's to do with the thicker PCB and gold contacts.

Good work MickGyver!

29 April 2018, 23:34

Take your time MickGyver... there's no rush on the requested orders! We are happy with regular updates, and are sympathetic to your issues. :-)

30 April 2018, 12:34

yes, no stress, take your time, and give news from time to time

I FINALLY received the PCBs and have already assembled a few gamepads.

I will soon start contacting people on my list.

Due to popular demand and since I'm doing this in my spare time I have decided to supply ONE assembled gamepad per person as a start. I'm doing this so more people on my list can get a gamepad sooner rather than never. I hope you find this to be fair. When/if I catch up with the queue, I can assemble more for people who want a second or even third gamepad.

If you want more than one gamepad faster you will have to buy kits and assemble them yourself, or find someone who can assemble them for you. Printed instructions are available for the assembly process, I'm also thinking of doing a how to assemble video.

fractalsister · 03 May 2018, 21:44

I'd also like to get in line for an assembled pad. Preferably black, but not that important.

-Acid- · 04 May 2018, 00:33

So now the big question is..... does anyone else want to assemble these and sell them on to speed up the orders?

I'm happy to do so, but it's MickGyver decision.

I am interested in 2 kits

kolla · 05 May 2018, 08:26

They look awesome
