: : I only know that these are made in China. Basically they're not legal because of the built-in games, but everyone's selling them lately. I got mine at the local $1 store. I'm sure if you cracked open pretty much any of these famicom clones you'd have pretty much the same results. It's a very cheap pad, but great for hacking.

: : : I just bought the '78' games one and the '128' games one that is supposed to be Atari. Which one do you have? and do you know who makes it ???

: : : : Yes that's right. I ripped mine open and the guts of the controls are just like the inside of any other game pad. I don't have a continuity tester right now so I'm not sure if there is just 1 ground or not. But I'm working on making some holes in the back of my 1-player standalone controls for the power supply and cartridge slot and adding this padhack to the case. Nintendo with arcade controls! Will post pix when I get it done.
