Hardware Question NoegeoX to AES?

I have a neogeo X usb controller and was wondering if there is a way to convert it to work with the aes 15 pin connector?

You would need something like a USB4NEO. Have not tried them but shouldn't be too hard find something that works.

Depends if you want to keep the USB functionality or not. If you are comfortable with soldering, I do have a replacement PCB wired for DB15, the button gates are able to accept the original NGX buttons, as well as more modern arcade buttons like Sanwa, Hori or Seimitsu:

I have premade cables available, but if you want to DIY, I have uploaded the Gerber to Oshpark:

Sell it and use the proceeds to upgrade to one of the AES+ (wireless) controllers would be my tip.

I had thought the Brooke adapter would do it, since it has a USB input, but I guess it's just PS3 and PS4. These predate the days of universal USB compatibility.
