So, are you going to work on this some more, or is it finished?
Work on it some more when I get the chance
I've had a couple ideas on how to improve the game, just no time to implement them.

Many clone NES systems already use a 9 pin connection. I wonder how close the pinouts are..
The way that NES controllers are read is much different from standard Atari joysticks, so you wouldn't be able to just plug one in and control a game that isn't specifically writen to read them. Since the controller ports are bidirectional, it is possible to read them, though you will obviously need an adapter to read the official ones.
As previously posted, the demo can be adjusted to read Flashback 1 controllers without an adaptor. It's possible other famiclones use this same pinout, or a pinout that would be compatible with some code adjustment

It works!
I use my 2600 SRAMCART. Big surprise, my 2600 clon have bidirectional controller ports!

That's an awesome setup you have there, care to share some info on that SRAM cart?
