Turn Your NES Controler In To 4 Port USB Hub

I am one  of the few people (among the ones i know) that have a working 8-bit Nintendo. But although the console is still working the controlers are the parts that i've changed many times. I didn't want to sacrifice my Nintendo by doing something to it that's why i went for the old controlers. The shape is very tempting to change its purpose and the hub was the first i came up with. I can say it is nice but it's up to you to like it or not.

Step 1 Materials And Tools

The materials i needed were:
- an old nes controler ( priceless :);
- 1.5meter USB extender cable (you can find it for $1 or something) - i bought mine last year and don't remember the price
- 4 port USB hub ($2.5 in ebay) depending on the model - this one is the most simple one

The tools i used are:
- hot glue gun (most used tool)
- screwdriver
- safety cutter
- pincers (i needed them later and they are not on the picture)
