One thing I did to help keep things organized (those leads start seeming really tiny after about the fifth or sixth wire you connect) was cut up the SNES controller board and super glue the section with the IC on it to some perf board. That way, I could strip a wire kind of long, stick it through the hole and then anchor it down to the copper pad with a little bit of solder. Just bend the length of wire to the lead you need to connect, and voila. I did that for about half of the wires, and the other half I just connected directly. After thorough testing
Brand-Spanking New SNESp coming soon! Edit: Now with pics!

It's the sixth post in the SNES howto sticky. Just follow his beautifully drawn pic
(hey, it works... function over form right?) to connect the buttons and then connect the white, yellow, orange, red, and brown wires to the SNES like they are in a standard controller. Connect the brown wire and all grounds for all the buttons to the pin labelled "common pin" in Turbo's diagram. There will be a few leads that you won't have to connect on the IC, if I remember correctly. Of course, I could be telling lies but I don't have my SNESp on hand right now... It's a hundred miles away, waiting to be played while I'm here at college during the week
Oh well, it will make the journey back here with me next week so I can take pictures of it (hopefully) and so I can get to some serious Donkey Kong-ing.

I then slathered some hot glue on the top to make sure I DON'T EVER HAVE TO DO THAT AGAIN (for this portable at least). Seriously though, it's not bad.

Sweet thanks. I am thinking of tackling the snes. This diagram will definitely help.joedog86 wrote:It's the sixth post in the SNES howto sticky.

Life is a lot like a video game without the extra lives and continues.
