360 Kempston Atari joystick mod


360 Fanboy reader, gtpunch, sent us a link to a project he's been working on. He has successfully integrated a Kempston interface into an Xbox 360 controller. Essentially, this means that the controller has been modded to accept standard Atari controllers. The mod was created to make retro games such as Paperboy more fun to play (the 360 d-pad isn't exactly the best). What makes this mod particularly interesting is that the joystick port has been attached directly to the controller. The best part is that the whole controller still works (minus the d-pad, of course). We'd share the instructions with you, but they contain a lot of techno-babble about soldering and transmogrifiers and whatnot. Hit the "read" link if you can comprehend such things.
