Arcade SNES: A while back I received a an email from a person calling themself Quench. He was telling me how he co-developed the SNES arcade controller circuit that is undocumented, but seemingly supported by SNESKey. This sparked my interest, so I replied to the email, and we set up delivery of the circuit, so I could display it on the site. Well, here it is for all to enjoy. I must add though, it is only supported by SNESKey, and there is no description explaining how to make it, it is only a circuit diagram for those who are interested in this. The information is available here.

SNES Adapters: Yes, everybody wants one, but I don't make them. Well, here is your saviour. Visit http://snespad.emulationworld.com/adapter_sales/ to order you own 2 player adapter. I also received an email from the site owner informing me that he is now using a proper etched, double sided, printed circuit board for the adapters, so they look quite professional now. Check them out.
Viewbar: The AllAdvantage.com viewbar for PC users has been updated to v1.4, with versions available for the US and Canada, as well as a global version for everyone else who is not in North America. Be sure to update you view bar to keep you payments coming in. The current MAC version is 1.0.

SNES Adapters: I am still receiving quite a few e-mails from people begging me to build them a SNES Pad adapter, (some offering large sums of cash, stocks and bonds.) Well, as I have told all of those who have asked, I do not make these adapters myself any longer, (although I will gladly answer any questions you have for me.) There is however, hope for those unable, or unwilling to build their own adapter. I host a site here that does sell pre-built SNES Pad adapters at a reasonable price. If you are interested in such a beast, then I recommend you visit http://snespad.emulationworld.com/adapter_sales/

AllAdvantage.com - UPDATE: Another month has turned, and another check in the mail box. This company is the one to be with. Anyway...... if you happen to own a MAC computer, (yes even those horrible little iMAC things,) you can now enjoy in the benefits and rewards of being an AllAdvantage.com member. There is now a MAC version of the AllAdvantage.com viewbar, ready for download. If you are a MAC user, (in which case, most of the information on this site will be of no use to you,) head on over to AllAdvantage.com, and join in with the rest of the world, and earn cash for your web browsing activities. If you have a friend with a MAC, now is a good time to start building up you referral base, as this is an untapped resource. To all of you who have already joined, I hope you are enjoying your monthly checks, and in the words your mother would give you, "Spend it wisely." ;-)
Online BBS: If you had a modem a few years
back, in the early 1990's, you probably used it for one thing, BBS's. What is a BBS?
Think of it as the Internet on one computer. A BBS was a computer set up by a
private person, solely to share files and messages with other people. There were
many more elaborate BBS's around with online games and other goodies, but basically it was
for messages and files. If you can remember back far enough to when the BBS was the
big thing, then you might like to visit a BBS that has been around for many years now, but
is still going strong, even in this age of the Internet. If you can handle a simple
telnet client, you can visit this BBS over the net, as it has now been put online for
everyone to enjoy. I have a telnet client available for download
for anyone who is interested, and the address for the BBS is telnet://202.182.70.30.
When confronted by the Linux prompt, just type "BBS" as the login and hit enter.
