Do I want the 5v/16mhz or the 3.3v/8mhz arduino pro micro, if I am going to hack a nes or snes controller or make a games controller?
Or does it not matter?
What do you know about the nes or snes controller, or that custom games controller? Clock frequency is generally of little importance since your code will likely be the bottle neck (meaning it won’t be efficient as a beginner). But specifically the voltage levels they use. What do you know about how the controllers operate? That is the first thing to investigate before you want to hack stuff. Buy a multi-meter (voltage/current/resistance- meter) first above all else and probe the thing. But make sure you know how to use it also:
