Can I splice my Snes Controller for a shorter cord?

Hi guys,

I have a quick quesion about my atkafighter completed Snesp. I love it, it works great. I've even done some minor tweaking (Secured the motherboard with a couple of screws, and put another screw in the psone screen to make it more secure).

Now I'm thinking about the controller. Does anyone know if I can get rid of some of the cord with a simple splice? The problem is that the cord frequently gets in the way during play. Thanks guys.

Atkafighter if you read this - Thanks again. Your rock!

Can you? Yes.

If all you want to do is shorten the cable, stop by gamesx.com. They have the pinout of the contrller and so you can either solder he plug back on or solder the contrller right to he system montherboard.

Sparkfist,

I should probably mention that my controller is just a regular controller plugged into the controller port. Please see atkafighter's profile for a picture of my snesp.

So If I'm understanding correctly, I should be able to simply cut out the unwanted portion of the controller & solder together the now shorter pieces? Thanks again.

you should probly just solder it directly to the SNES

plus all the wires are color coded so it makes it really easy to cut out and re-attach.

Hey thanks Jeffslot,
And yes you can shorten the chord by cutting it, and reattaching it in this order:
1 Brown
2 Red
3 Orange
4 Yellow
5 White
I would have done this for you myself, but was unsure if you wanted the controller modded.

That is a VERY nice case you have there...what kind of case did you use?

You mean atkafighter used it's a plastic box I think just from the store.

Yeah, looks like a simple cd case from walmart or target. Very spiffy!

Well it does look nice and shnazzy!

Yeah, Jeffslot provided me with the case. Im pretty sure its a normal tacklebox. I tried my best to make it hard to distinguish from a tacklebox. Someday I will make my own SNESP, and hopefully it will be the best case I have made EVER!
