I have an NES Advantage too. ^_^ That thing was pretty nice, except it didn't work as well for two player simultaneous play. <i>There are many rules of<

You likely hooked them up wrong. The cords were color-coded. You plugged #1 into the left port using the white cord, and a second unit into the right port with the black cord and set the switch to Player 2... <

Simultaneous, I said. There's no way two players could use it at the same time, so the second player would have to use an ordinary controller. <i>There are many rules of<

I do not ever remember having that problem back<

>No no, SYSTEMS hooked up, not the controllers, the systems. I can only have two systems/consoles hooked up at a time. And otherwise I have to go through cables-hell stuff. SEE? So I thought you said you had all your systems hooked up to one tv.<

My problem with the SNES Advantage was the layout. The buttons just weren't layed out effectively, like the ones on the Capcom FPS. In the end, there can be only ONE!Only the

I have an Advantage laying somewhere around here too.<

The button layout and the colors also for me (laughs).<

I only use the NES Advantage for my NES. I only used the pad controllers once, or twice. I used my SNES Advantage a few times and it's been in the damned box since 1992. The only controller I typically use for my SNES is my Capcom Fighter Power Stick. It was more expensive, but I like the layout better. In the end, there can be only ONE!Only the

The Capcom Power Stick was heavier than<

[KenseidenXL]

No, though bigger, it was actually much lighter. But, oddly, quite sturdy. In the end, there can be only ONE!Only the

Odd. Capcom is usually known to create <

No, the FPS had a larger case size than the Advantage, but it weighed 45% less, but was very strong where it counted. UNlike the Advantage, the FPS did NOT have a heavy steel plate for its base. Granted, the turbo didn't have the degree of fine tuning the Advantage had, but that would be the ONLY drawback I could think of. In the end, there can be only ONE!Only the
