So many parts….

Welp, thanks to Jeff S. I successfully modded my Xbox. With my new techonology I can finally play 8 bit games like Ninja Gaiden, Zelda, Donkey Punch and Bronco 2, and Jackal.

My first trip down memory lane was Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!! I was so obsessed with this game when I was a kid that I wrote a book on how to beat every fighter in the first round. I also made a chart on a big piece of poster board to track the progress of my two brothers and I. Each of us had a paper boxing glove that we would advance under portraits of each fighter we beat. At the end was a drawing of Little Mac surrounded by some ladies I had cut out of a bra catalog. Needless to say, I like this game.

I was happy to find that I remember pretty much everything about how to beat each guy. The toughest part has been adapting to the Xbox controller. It seems slower to respond than the Nintendo controllers. There are also two things that make Punch Out more difficult: the location of the start button, and the lack of a divot in the center of the D-pad. The start button location makes it hard to throw timely uppercuts while the lack of divet makes it harder to go from block to punch rapidly. Can anyone here devise a way to attach a Nintendo controller via the memory card slot and make it work with the emulator?
