(Firmware support pending). Perhaps DIYers will appreciate having this possibility at virtually no extra cost. I added a bunch of extra wires on the board that let you connect up to 4 SNES gamepads.

I suppose it would depend on what it would do to the price. Wouldn't be worth it, if it were much more than an extra $5.. you can get SNES/USB controller adapters pretty cheap. I think he's gonna sell lots of em without controller support. I'm going to add a cartridge slot to the top of my case, so I don't think I need a plastic enclosure. :D Eh..

I can suggest some very usable names that I think you'd like... I know I shouldn't put them here, because they might be harvested by bots that register / squat on domain names. How should I submit my suggestions to you? I guess I missed out on the whole window for submission. Now the email address is removed.

As you may imagine, it is hard to pick someone, without most of the other contestants being mad at them, and me. Also, I found it silly to publish a ranked list of entries, none of which would become the future name of the project. You might want to know that I did try to honor your effort by weighting your entry with the number of suggestions you submitted (logos counted double). This is the fairest solution I could come up with, and I am sorry for those who were disappointed. Rest assured your effort is not forgotten.
