Tip

This revision has been superseded. Please use rev_6a instead.

The next revision of my custom replacement PCB design for Nintendo SNES controllers is ready for public release! Also in this release is revision 2a of the shoulder button daughter board.

Super Replacement PCB rev_4a changes:

PCB preview image

  • (PCB) BY REQUEST! A custom footprint has been added that fits the stock wire-to-board header harvested from a broken SNES controller, which makes this truly a drop-in replacement that doesn't require you to modify the original cable for your controller!

  • (FAB) The BoM ~~provided on the Download page~~ (Atlassian took away the Downloads page, sorry) now has correct part quantities listed.

Super Replacement PCB Shoulder Button rev_2a changes:

  • (PCB) Board outline adjusted to loosen tolerances a bit and make for a better fit as a drop-in replacement. No more board edge sanding to make it fit. (Still on your own for mousebites, though.)

  • (LICENSE) This version changes the license from BY-NC-SA to BY-SA. If you want to sell boards fabricated from this design, go right ahead! Just please remember to credit me for the design. :)

~~Download Super Replacement PCB rev_4a Gerbers~~ Sorry guys, Atlassian took away the Downloads section. The tag for this version is still available in the repository, though.
