Many of us have fond memories growing up playing Super Nintendo. The controller is iconic and a true gaming classic. Rather than relegating these old controllers to the dust bin, they can be given new life.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to easily convert any original Super Nintendo compatible controller into a fully functional modern USB gamepad that can be used just about anywhere.
We will be tack-soldering onto the PCB inside the controller but there’s no cutting or component removal so it’s super easy to convert it back to SNES-plug-compatibility if you decide to go back to your retro roots!
