I've been watching your vids for a while now and they inspired me to get into electronics repair. I've actually gotten quite handy with this sort of thing and it's a really fun hobby. So, thanks!
Fascinating find, Martin! I enjoyed the sleuthing and reporting you did on the origins of the piece, especially after seeing that start/select molding hidden away inside the controller. Wonderful tip, too, on the bit with cleaning off the membranes using a scrap of parchment. I'm grateful you shared that! It's a testament to the quality and pride of craftsmanship in that era that with a little bit of TLC (and WD-40), the controller so easily breathed life again. Keep up the fine artisanship, and bless us with another video sometime soon! :)
I just took apart and cleaned a disgustingly filthy GBA and restored it back to working order, and I owe it all to this video. Thanks a bunch for a the wisdom!
To help clarify: This controller was produced by Hori under license to Sega. The controller was also developed for the Famicom, under the Commander name. Interestingly enough, the styling is identical except for the branding. I suspect they utilized the same boards and modified them for use on the master system.
Just wanted to give you compliments on your videos. In particular, I enjoy the repair videos. Originally came across your channel because I was looking at installing a Region Free BIOS in a Saturn, which then spiraled into watching your various eBay repairs. Very fun and interesting to watch. I love to tinker with stuff, including repairing and cleaning my consoles and controllers, and you inspired and instilled me with enough motivation that I went and ordered some broken stuff off eBay (for what I hope is a deal lol) and am excited by the challenge of fixing them. Most of my own hardware is in great shape as I typically get all my hardware new when they come out and have taken pretty good care of them, so I had to resort to finding other peoples broken stuff! Thanks again. It's a shame you don't do more videos ;)
Thanks! It's really cool to hear when someone has got something useful out of these vids :) Thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment. It means a lot! I wish I had more time to make vids :P
man where was this when I needed an auto-fire pad for Astro Warrior?! And so that WAS what happened, they just recycled the design for a HORI Famicom controller but for the SMS/SG 3000. I thought something was up when they hid the slots for start/select under the plastic like that...
Loving your videos! I've been watching them for the last hour or two. Just subscribed as your 40k sub! Congrats! Looking forward to watching more of your problem solving repair/refurbish videos! :)
Excellent repair video, I have learnt a lot. I am now very tempted and pretty confident to clean all my retro pads. I know how to solder too so if I have an accident..... :-S. Going to look up videos for specific consoles so I know to watch out for tricky components. Awesome and thanks.
Nice find and great refurb work! I just finished bringing a Master System back from the dead, so this is relevant to my interests! :) It's a shame that the SEGA/Hori SG Commander controllers aren't more common.
Any chance on making any more videos any time soon? I totally understand though if things are going on in other aspects in life that take priority though, just miss seeing your vids regularly is all.
I was curious about how to refurbish those rubber pads. I had tried using rubbing alcohol and q-tips in the past but it didn't work very well. I'll try the paper method next time I disassemble a wonky controller.
I'm at the point where I've now forgotten what parts where for what system/project and what the original problem even was! Work has been crazy for me over the last few months so hobbies like UA-cam and fixing things (except my stupid car!) have taken a backseat. I can't even remember the last time I fired up the soldering iron. Hope things are going well with you and you got your flood situation sorted.
RetroGameTech I have misplaced parts for one or two. Work and family matters haven't much time for my hobbies either. Things are going. Looks like my insurance company is trying to back out now that they realize the extent of the monetary damage.
Dude thank you for this video . i purchased one of these today at a carboot sale just outside of Liverpool for 50 pence. i didnt recognise it apart from the Sega , and as a collector i thought "ooooo official and unrecognisable". i am gonna clean her up and stick her in my collection. Cool video i have now subscribed :)
I love your videos man :D Please do more refurbish stuff ! You are definitely a pro and know your way around hardware, I recently got a GameBoy Advance SP AGS 101 cheaply from ebay and its carcass is pretty beat so I decided to move it into a new one :) and some of your vids gave me great inspiration, thanks !
RetroGameTech thanks man :D it truly is harder to find them in europe :( even some of the GBA games are so expensive here, best deals I got were over germany and the netherlands and some UK sellers on Ebay were very nice and friendly ! If you like check my unboxing of the very rare Resident Evil Power VR PC version which I paid like 80 Euro I think but hot damn that version is rare I have looked for 5 years for it :D check it out its the only unboxing of it on youtube :D
It does look very NESsy, and the color of the buttons and D-pad reminds my of the Famicom. What I find most interesting is that there are not only the unpopulated holes on the front hidden by the label, you can see that often on TV remotes, since they use the same mold for different units, and it is not worth it to redesign the mold, but matching contacts on the PCB with no traces leading to them! So they took the effort to remove the traces from the design but not the contacts!?
That's a pretty cool looking controller. I've never seen one like it. Hori is top tier controllers.

WD-40 stands for Water-Displacement (Formula) #40. If anything, it would help the plastic and PCB by keeping moisture off it. The only downside is that it would make it a tad bit more flammable, but if your console/controller is on fire, I think you have bigger problems than how it's going to look.
Looked great after you had finished. But imagine how it would have looked, and smelled, if the original owner was a smoker. I'm generally lucky when buying used stuff, but I once got a DVD where the white cover had yellowed and it just stunk. Kept the disc and had to just bin the rest.
They did back then, too. By the looks of it they probably made the same controller for a lot of systems, as evidenced by the Famicom/PC engine style Start and Select/Select and run button holes on the backside of the shell, and indeed a little big of googling reveals a PC Engine "Commander" pad that looks very much like this.
That controller was made by Hori 4:43, a big producer of high end Fighting sticks and Fight pads. or the nes one was recycled products are always neat.
+BioLink Yeah, willing to bet they use the same board for NES controllers. This one was just blanked out the Start and Select and uses a different chip.
What's weird is that there were button contacts on the pcb for start and select, but they weren't wired up. If they had bought surplus boards from the famicom controller manufacturer, the contacts would be wired to something. So the boards were obviously made specifically for the master system, yet still included hardware for the start and select. I'm really curious at why this is the case.
i tried the same rubber contact trick you used in the video, rubbing it on the paper, on the power button of one of my wonderswan colours, but it still won't work. i know the system works because i swapped out the button with one from another wonderswan and it worked just fine. do you have any ideas why the rubber pad isn't making the connection?
Excellent video, and a cool controller! I don't like the original Master System controllers that much, but they are required for a few games. I didn't know that you could use alcohol on a circuit board.
That's what I was wondering cuz I just took apart my Master System controller to clean it and didn't touch the circuit board with alcohol cuz I just didn't know
Ron Lopez rubbing alcohol with a high solution percentage is what most professionals use to clean electronics. Does no harm to them and dries fairly quickly.
justfadingaway thanks. I'm actually lookin at it right now and it is filthy. Highest I got is 70% alcohol. Would it be worth it to seek out a higher percentage?
Sega licensed out a lot of their controllers (like the 6 button UK megadrive controllers) this master system controller is obviously made by Hori, and shares a mold with a NES controller. Interesting though, as that dpad was copyrighted by Nintendo at the time.
Cool controller I'd like to find one to go with my master system stuff and for cleaning old controllers and consoles I usually clean them with with windex on the plastic buttons and shells and then shine the plastic with pledge makes them look new again
Use Meguiars dash and trim restorer for sega stuff (glossy surface) or scratch X for ps1, nes, snes (Couse or ruff surface) Don't use water dispersant (WD-40) you might as well be using silicone spray or shampoo Just a suggestion I really like the controller and video, that A,B thing was really interesting
Hi. Inside my AGS-101's inside LCD there are spots that look like light sooth (very light, you can game with it ok but those spots are annoying). Is there way to open the LCD itself to clean it (not just the cover on top of it) which I've done. It seems to be in the inside of the LCD. Thank you. God bless. Rev. 21:4
WD40 is fine to use also 3 in 1 oil (bicycle oil) works also, the only thing to note is WD40 will mess with some adhesives / glues so can lead to labels lifting(not all but some) cool controller, I assume Hori made it for SEGA as a licensed product, and probably made a similar one for the NES / Famicom hence the start/select spaces
Great video very helpful, I have a mega drive controller when its plugged in it wont go left but if I pull it out a bit so its barely plugged in it works, if there any way to fix this (it does it on both my consoles) thank you very much, love your videos and hope you make more.
6:25 That is actually a third party controller for the Famicom made by Hudson soft I guess Sega just brought a boat load of them so they're limited that's why they're rare if you look they still have the same buttons on them.
I've been doing some projects lately and started noticing that I hate my soldering iron!!! It's a plug in one and I got it for about 20$. The soldering tips have been melting away and I think that's because of a sponge I was using. What do you recommend I get as far as soldering irons go?
i just bought a gba game off of ebay for cheap. somebody got a tad bit of solder on the contacts. does anybody know if I could get it off of their with some solder wick without damaging the contacts.
I got it the cartridge in. I was able to pull some of it off with the wick, but its still not working. I wish I could put it under a microscope and get a really good look at it, because now I'm thinking that some of the "brass/gold" on the contacts was pulled off onto the wick. Do you know if this could happen and do you know what contacts are made out of?
+Victor Amaya looks to me like they just used the same mold as their Famicom controller, the board showed it was a Hori controller, you can find Famicom Hori controllers that look just like it, that would be my assumption.
Hope you kept that pad if you liked it. Just checked ebay and running over $80 used ! In the UK maybe a bit more reasonable but on the US site just ridiculous! For some one looking for a more comfortable controller for your Master system than the standard rectangular thing however like me you can't afford this nice looking pad there is a great option out there. Sega has you covered the Genesis/Megadrive pads work on the machine.
Martin , im looking through youtube to watch something geek related but despite the million plus videos i find myself back to your channel re watching vida of old , how are ya doing ?! , when can we expect another video ??pick ups , rants , repairs aaaaaanything hhaha From am avid viewer down under Sam

I just took apart and cleaned a disgustingly filthy GBA and restored it back to working order, and I owe it all to this video. Thanks a bunch for a the wisdom!

man where was this when I needed an auto-fire pad for Astro Warrior?!
And so that WAS what happened, they just recycled the design for a HORI Famicom controller but for the SMS/SG 3000. I thought something was up when they hid the slots for start/select under the plastic like that...
He is back!!! :) awesome video Martin! Missed your repair videos!
Cheers, buddy! :)
You inspired my friend and I to pick up a broken genesis and attempt to fix it. We managed to get it working :) Love your videos!
Love the videos retro... I'm quite the electronics geek myself... Just wish I had more time to do projects like this.. Keep the vids coming. Thanks.
Always enjoy these videos. Keep up the great work. Hope to see more soon.
Thanks for continuing to watch!

That's a beautiful controller. Must be a dream to play with. Never liked the original master system d-pad, so this is excellent. Great find!
Cheers. If you've ever used a NES controller then it pretty much feels the same as that.
Great video buddy that controller was a really good find.
It's made by Hori then!!! Interesting, they make all the third party controllers for Nintendo now.
I read everything you post in your voice. Get out of my head.

You watch every video I comment on
I have got a HORI Turbo Controller called a Commander for my SNES! :) Quite a RARE controller, dont see many of them around.

Yeah Larry's commenting everywhere. Even on the obscure eastern European ZXspectrum games channel.

great video man love watching ur refurb videos
Very nice find. Interesting controller design.
great video! i love your ebay junk videos, it makes me wanna start buying stuff off ebay to fix.
Thanks! do it! haha
Great video and channel, this is my 3rd video I've seen and I just subbed. Cheers!
Nice find and great refurb work! I just finished bringing a Master System back from the dead, so this is relevant to my interests! :) It's a shame that the SEGA/Hori SG Commander controllers aren't more common.
Thanks! Yeah it's a shame because they're actually better than the standard controllers, haha.
Excellent project as always!
Thanks, dude! :)
So happy when I see a new video from you! Collection update anytime soon??
Thanks! :)
I'm always trying to find the time to make a pickup and collection vid. Hopefully soon!
Any chance on making any more videos any time soon? I totally understand though if things are going on in other aspects in life that take priority though, just miss seeing your vids regularly is all.

Some great tips for cleaning, nice to see another video. Always love the rare sega stuff :-)
You can't beat a bit of obscure SEGA tech :)
RetroGameTech Sega had some very interesting accessories. That makes Sega all the more awesome!
Dude! Glad to see another video!
I had one of these 30 years ago. Thanks for reminding me! :)
This is so satisfying to watch.
you are saver for my psp, your method with paper really work!
Glad your making videos again. Keep it up!
I never stopped! :P
That's amazing I had one for my master system as a kid, had no idea it was also made for the Famicom.
I have more half-completed projects than I can count at the moment.
I thought I had seen that design somewhere before.
I'm at the point where I've now forgotten what parts where for what system/project and what the original problem even was! Work has been crazy for me over the last few months so hobbies like UA-cam and fixing things (except my stupid car!) have taken a backseat.

*SEGA's Nintendo controller!* ⭐️
I need to get one of them! Nice video!
When are you coming back to uploading videos, I loved all these eBay junk and fixing videos
Love your repair vids!
Thanks for watching them! :)

Whoa! I had no idea Hori had been in the controller game this long! I have a really nice fight stick made by them!
Man, I love your Scottish accent :) Been to Edinburgh this summer. Really nice countryside in the Highlands
another great vid Victor Frankenstein of gaming

Great refurb job and very interesting. When will someone invent a magnetic ice cube tray :)
Wow, I think you just did! That would be awesome!
never seen one of those controllers before, weird
Looked great after you had finished.
But imagine how it would have looked, and smelled, if the original owner was a smoker. I'm generally lucky when buying used stuff, but I once got a DVD where the white cover had yellowed and it just stunk. Kept the disc and had to just bin the rest.

Where is the start button??

Do you forward through reassembly every video? I'm look forward to that part the most
Awesome vid man, was wondering where ya went
Cheers. Just really busy these days, that's all. :)
Have you ever used superfine grit sandpaper, like 1200 or so, to clean those membrane contacts?
i tried the same rubber contact trick you used in the video, rubbing it on the paper, on the power button of one of my wonderswan colours, but it still won't work. i know the system works because i swapped out the button with one from another wonderswan and it worked just fine. do you have any ideas why the rubber pad isn't making the connection?
15:21 that Trillian message sound in the background
great video....love it....
It'd be cool if this was just a really well done modification of a Hori NES controller. A 'make my Nintendo controller a Sega controller' mod.
It would explain the start and select button housing.
Excellent video, and a cool controller! I don't like the original Master System controllers that much, but they are required for a few games. I didn't know that you could use alcohol on a circuit board.

if you can yes, but 70% should be fine. Just might have to go over it a few times to make sure you have cleaned everything off.
Another great video keep it up!

Just a suggestion

what kind of mat is the on the table? the green one with graphs
By the looks of it it's a cutting mat
like what brand
Justin Wonda I think it is just a generic cutting board judging by the name in the corner just saying "Cutting Mat" and not having a brand name.
***** Yup, cookie for you! Generic mat from local craft store.
How do you store all your controllers? any tips? Power cords and av cables as well? I hate the way i have them wrapped and in storage bins...
I just loop the cables and use velcro fasteners to hold them in place. After that they get stored in storage bins with lids to keep the dust off.
Alright, seems like I got the right idea...Thanks man
I forget how old HORI is, wasn't expecting to see HORI printed on the pcb.
WD40 is fine to use also 3 in 1 oil (bicycle oil) works also, the only thing to note is WD40 will mess with some adhesives / glues so can lead to labels lifting(not all but some) cool controller, I assume Hori made it for SEGA as a licensed product, and probably made a similar one for the NES / Famicom hence the start/select spaces
posted before end of video lol
Great video very helpful, I have a mega drive controller when its plugged in it wont go left but if I pull it out a bit so its barely plugged in it works, if there any way to fix this (it does it on both my consoles) thank you very much, love your videos and hope you make more.
6:25 That is actually a third party controller for the Famicom made by Hudson soft I guess Sega just brought a boat load of them so they're limited that's why they're rare if you look they still have the same buttons on them.
That really looks like the plastic mouldings were planned for the NES originally!
LOL this video comes up on my watch again all the time, taunting me with the controller I would love to have :P
That D-pad had some real gunk.
Well done. Very nice that.
Cheers!
Pledge works better for getting plastic to shine. It dries faster, smells better, and works better.
I prefer WD40. I can't stand the smell of pledge. :P
RetroGameTech When are you coming back?
What kind of pledge do you use?
I've been doing some projects lately and started noticing that I hate my soldering iron!!! It's a plug in one and I got it for about 20$. The soldering tips have been melting away and I think that's because of a sponge I was using. What do you recommend I get as far as soldering irons go?
Very informative, thanks!
No worries :)
Fantastic! But I'd be very apprehensive when rubbing the button contacts on the paper.
It's perfectly fine. I've been doing my refurbs like this for years. Just don't use much force.
You make some great videos, really enjoying your content. I hope you come back to your channel soon.
I cleaned a controller with paint thinner from my model paint set (all I had on hand at the time) and it works like the WD40.
I miss you Videos, hope to see new stuff :)
Greetings from germany
I enjoyed watching that thanks
Hi mate was just wondering if you would fix a console for a fan just out of interest cheers
Hey, sorry, I only do stuff like this as a hobby.
RetroGameTech thanks for the reply man
i just bought a gba game off of ebay for cheap. somebody got a tad bit of solder on the contacts. does anybody know if I could get it off of their with some solder wick without damaging the contacts.
It should come off no problem at all. I doubt you'd even need the wick. Just use the iron.
I got it the cartridge in. I was able to pull some of it off with the wick, but its still not working. I wish I could put it under a microscope and get a really good look at it, because now I'm thinking that some of the "brass/gold" on the contacts was pulled off onto the wick. Do you know if this could happen and do you know what contacts are made out of?
Did you noticed the "start" & "select" terminals (you even cleaned those with a q-tip) inside in the middle of the controller? Do they work?
+Victor Amaya looks to me like they just used the same mold as their Famicom controller, the board showed it was a Hori controller, you can find Famicom Hori controllers that look just like it, that would be my assumption.
How do you get all these good buys
I have missed your videos!
Thanks for sticking around and supporting the channel! Much appreciated!
please keep making videos dude, i've been inspired to try this myself
Awesome! :)
Hope you kept that pad if you liked it. Just checked ebay and running over $80 used !
In the UK maybe a bit more reasonable but on the US site just ridiculous! For some one looking for a more comfortable controller for your Master system than the standard rectangular thing however like me you can't afford this nice looking pad there is a great option out there.
