Damn, I knew I should have saved that broken XBox controller for this... Ah well.
Anyway, that's pretty tight, man. I should figure out how to hard wire an NES controller board into my broken PS2 controller. That way, I could play Super Mario Bros. with a truly ergonomically correct controller rather than with those ridiculous-looking "dog bone" controllers for NES.
@TeamNES1 The "Dog bone" ones were the SNES controllers. The ones for the NES were real simple. A plain rectangle with a d-pad, two plastic red buttons on the other side and 2 rubber buttons (select and start) in the middle.
@camilowish I see. I believe they also made some Super NES-style controllers for the NES, and if memory serves, these rounded controllers were initially included with the top-loading NES. Then again, I'm just taking a wild guess.
@TeamNES1 It's possible, I never owned, or even saw a top loading NES in my life, so, maybe they shipped those with SNES shaped controllers. Anyways, the rounded ones I knew were for the SNES, and the ones I knew for the NES were rectangular. If you want to see the rectangular controller I'm talking about, I'm sure you can find a video about it here on youtube.
Short answer, no. But the real goal was not to play on the NES. It was to use the controller to move our school robot quickly instead of using a plane remote control. This is worth it :). The NES part was only a proof of concept.
Although it's cool that you were able to wire the the xbox controller to the NES I would choose the NES controller any day. Trying to play Megaman 9 with an xbox controller was a real hassle for me.
We can't really see it on the video since it's low resolution but there is a small thinkpad under the NES. That's the thing with the Ethernet cable. I'm running out of space in that room so I have to stack things :)
Great work dude ;)

Do analog sticks work because I don't like 360 d-pad?

Yes with the code provided on google code (usbarm) I have access to every single button and stick on the controller.
