Well, with much anticipation it finally arrived. At first
glance, it looked like quite a project. The retrozone kit comes with
everything pictured to the right (part C) and a USB cable that you replace the oem
game pad cable with. I sat down and looked everything over and decided to
build the entire kit in side a box eliminating the need to dismantle a
controller and not needing the USB cable shipped with the kit.
