Wire colors of NES joypad input port

Post by electro »

Referring to the NES joyport. Just wondering if someone can tell me if this is correct:

1. brown (ground)
2. red (clock)
3. orange (latch)
4. yellow (serial input from gamepad)

5. white (no connection)
6. blue (n.c.)

7. purple (+5V)

(The numbers listed above are the actual numbers imprinted on the gamepad jack/port.)

Is this correct?

Thank again,
T

I'm no master at hardware, but if you can't find any NES documentation on this (which I'm sure you will), the SNES has the same color coding for it's joypads, so SNES documentation would help as well...

Code: Select all

          *=$0000
loop      JMP loop
