STFU!!!!   Steve's already got enough of my money, I dont need him to come up with another feature I can't live without!!  :evil:  :D  I'm already anticipating him figuring out how to add battery backup to the thing one day then i'm gonna have to send it to him again. Do my wallet a favor and stay out  :wink:

Holy shit that is awesome! :D

As for the controller port thing, I about blew my load in chat one day when that idea came up. I understand that it's a pretty big unknown right now and the mod might not allow the standard Express controls to work. Getting a controller port on the Express would be absolutely incredible though. :D

How much? I'm absolutely game for it, I was going to offer a bounty for getting that ability at some point. :D Ideally I wouldn't have to sacrifice the tuner input though.

Forgive my ignorance, but does standard port 1 preclude plugging in a turbo tap? Either way I'd be down for it.

could you tap the controls off the cpu, or is it more complicated than that?  I wondered about the tap as well. if you routed port 1 to the side, could you not just use a tap and get two player?

so how tough would this be to do, and what do you estimate it would cost?

Now when steve makes the adapter plug to connect an IFU/CDROM2 to the Express / GT... then we'll really be in for it hehe

Waa??? I looked into doing this and the controller board is completely different (at least it seemed it did) compared to a TG / Duo. I recall it having a special chip running the control board...

Although I have no doubt you will figure a way.
