Like the title states, how do I make a interface that looks and works like the one in NES games where you use the directional pad to pick letters to create a name? and later use that name in a "gameover" frame. im using mmf2 and im a newbie thanks! n/a

Cecil- he's probably using a NES>USB adapter thingy. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=j--8iXVv2_U On the sixth day God created Manchester "You gotta get that sand out your vaj!" x13 www.bossbaddie.com

ced Registered 25/03/2008 Points 8	22nd April, 2008 at 19:50:07 - Thanks alot Mr. Waffle! i really apreciate it! its just what I need. I'll try to decipher how it works, it looks complicated. I'm just using a nes controller with the retro usb kit from http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?categoryID=81 I play nes roms in my pc so the nes controller makes it more authentic i guess. n/a

I'm chuffed just using a Wii controller with my PC so I don't want one of them NES adapters. Still think they're pretty ace especially considering most older Click games only had a D-pad and 2 buttons. Reet now though I want an N64 controller adapter for Wii. CC and Cube controller don't cut it! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=j--8iXVv2_U On the sixth day God created Manchester "You gotta get that sand out your vaj!" x13 www.bossbaddie.com
