okay. I've been working for over a year on my secret nes project, and the wife says its time to nut up or shut up.
I've essentially broken my nes down to barebones, stripped off the controllers (just wires coming out of player 1 and 2) and, in the interest of being able to play 4 players with the completed console, decided to hardwire a four score into the nes.
so, being kinda smart i wrote down what color wires match what pins, and for the most part it works. except for 4 player games. always a fail.
SO! I ask you, the nes dev community for help. where can i find (or can you post up) what pin numbers (wire colors would be even better, but i'll deal) from the four score connect to player one and two.
I have:
4 score -> NES
CONTROLLER 1
blue-> brown
orange-> red
brown-> orange
red-> yellow
purple-> purple
CONTROLLER 2 (i think this is the prob)
green-> red
yellow-> yellow
does this make sense to anyone? has anyone done this before?
