Awesome sauce. Why do I not get email notifications when people post updates via KS? I need to stay on top of this stuff. And I still haven't started building my dual mode SNES/Atari Spook-O-Tron/Robotron controller yet. Time's a wating!

Not sure if I missed it somewhere, but is there a doc for modding a VB controller yet? Or any modded controllers or adapters since I see those being discussed too?

Buy an SNES and NES extension cable and splice your own adapter to use snes controllers. There are wiring diagrams online.

VB controllers are definitely the best way to play. I know Beau has a pretty handy diagram detailing which wires need to go where. Hopefully he'll share it with everyone.

The problem is that the "handy guide" only works if you're using the exact same materials that I did; there are quite a number of ways to go about it all plus cables change colors depending on what you are using. Otherwise it is just matching up the five cables with where they need to go, which, if you know how to do that, then you don't need my help  . More than happy to walk through it with people via PM until I get a 10x different ways guide finished, just message me with how you're wanting to do it. I have a stack of them to modify, so I'll be in the mood!

There will probably be some leftover SNES-to-NES cables available, but I need to finish the KS orders first. There should also be some modded VB controllers leftover, but there was quite a bit of interest there so we shall see.

Not trying to bug you but is there a shipping estimate for those of us who added snes controller adapters? If you're backlogged, that's fine; I'll patiently wait...

Just waiting on manuals now, everything else is assembled and ready to go. The past two weeks have been:

-Ran out of toner... ordered new toner
-Installed new toner... printer no longer works
-Ordered new printer... waiting on new printer

This will be printer number five, for those keeping track. I had not planned on shipping anything until I could ship them all together, but I really was not expecting yet another printer issue. Many, many lessons learned throughout the course of this project.

In the meantime I will be chipping away at the Numbered Edition copies, for those who ordered that option.

Thanks for your patience all. And thanks too to those who have posted video reviews and spread the word around online!

So sorry to hear about your printer misfortunes. Hopefully it gets resolved. And if that fails, there's always Kinkos! j/k

Still waiting on manuals. You can just send one message from one site too, that makes life somewhat easier on me.

No problems mate. I just noticed in the ks comments section others who received their games so I just thought I'd ask.

Like the subtitle says, check those KS inboxes! I have just enough, so confirming that address is necessary. They're just sitting on my table here collecting dust... so help me get my table back!

He's saying he finally has all of the KS rewards done and ready to ship... and that he made only enough to fulfill these, so to make sure your address is correct.

I am psyched to finally get a hold of mine!!!

Even got a VB controller in anticipation!

And if you already got yours (Kosmic Stardust), you're all set! The standard KS CIBs all went out last year. The fancy box NA editions took a lot longer for many reasons that I'll detail soon enough.

Oh, and there are a couple of KS CIBs left. Those and the Regular copies will go on sale soon on my site. Probably a few weeks until then, as life needs to settle down some first. Thanks all for the support and interest!
