If you read the line before, I said what it was that smashed inside the remote
I think I've got a good idea though, but I'll be going out for a meal and a movie later, so no concept picture, but what I'll be doing is buying a classic controller and a new remote (obviously) and I'll build the broken controller into the classic controller, so I'll have an all in one controller. Would be great for Brawl or VC games...
