Famicom vaus for arkanoid will work. Made a plug to fit the expansion slot out of computer IDE slot, mostly to play arkanoid 2 and the driving game with a paddle via power pak

Hmm, can't find my documentation, but opening up my paddle, it looks like I added the pot on the center wire of the variable resistor. The secret lies in the AD converter, Read up on resistors and voltage for series and parallel circuits. There are also some good googleable articles on how to change...

I would imagine that all of this could have been done also through software mods, but I'm not all th...
