The current MCU is unknown. However it is assumed that it is a 
PIC16F87/88 due to the form factor and similarities in pin layout.
  
The form factor of the chip is a 18-pin PDIP SOIC. 
So what do these pins match with the PIC16F87/88.

The MCU's job is to take the input from the joystick
and convert it to data to be sent out through the IR
blaster that gets sent to the main console
