Does it exist? Can one make his own?

It would be pretty usefull to have as I am obliged to sit on the floor in front of my TV to play, just need an extra 3 feet to be fine and sit on the couch.

Hello Howdoin, and welcome to the forums.

To answer your question, NEC unfortunately never produced a controller extension cable for the PC-FX.  If you feel adventurous, I would think that you could just cut the controller cable in half, splice in 3 feet of wire in the middle and that should be it - however I have never done it, so do at your own risk (would be a heck of a lot easier than trying to make your own extension, that's for sure.)

damn! that sounds a little extreme, I guess I'll have to get my hands on a spare controller before I attempt this... I'll have to enjoy my games in short amount of time in the menatime.

Thanks for the tip.

Hopefully someone can start making expansion chords for the PC-FX because I know when I get one, I am going to want to sit back all the way like an American. I was so glad when I got an extender for my Duo/PCE.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
