I used some really super strong glue to glue it to the top of the button and then drill a hole big enough to fit it through. I used a bit of hackery to make the button long enough to stick through the case by cutting a small circle into some green acrylic using the laser cutter we have at the space. If you noticed in the pic there’s also a momentary switch glued into place. Next was getting the LEDs switched from the tiny onboard ones to bigger ones and the Qi charger mounted to the SNES case. So i reswapped them and It was good to go. It worked better but a few buttons I must have mistakenly swapped when resoldering. I tried emailing Pat for a little help and he recommended unsoldering everything from the original SNES board. I was able to get the board working and connected it to the Firestick but the buttons were jumping all over the place when pressed. I resoldered the new board in and kept tested it along the way to make sure it lit up properly. So instead of trying to figure out the issue I bit the bullet and started tearing down the second controller i bought for it’s board. Getting everything stuffed into the tight space was a challenge, I think in the course of doing so I may have screwed up one of the bluetooth controllers, it would turn on but I couldn’t get the bluetooth LED to light, in effect the controller was not seen if scanned for. I found a picture online for the pinout of the SNES chip so it was easier to solder all the wires right to those pins. The controller made it simple because it already had testing pads on it, so we just had to match the pads to the buttons. On the bluetooth controller I went to our resident electronics guru Cobey to figure out tracing the buttons. I took down the controllers to their bare circuit boards. (even the aftermarket controller’s right trigger was busted :/ ) So after getting my $3.99 Qi charger receiver I was ready to dig in. After haggling with him I was able to get $5 back from him. unfortunately the OEM controller has a broken right trigger button and some of the screw posts inside were broken. After getting him to mail them to me for an additional $4 they arrived a few days later. I found someone on craigslist out of New York that was selling the original controller, an aftermarket one and a AC adapter for $10 bucks i jumped at it even though I only needed the OEM controller. I did have a few hurdles along the way.įirst I went to Gamestop right away to get the bluetooth controller that was on sale. Unfortunately if you look at Pat’s site, he did not document his journey building his controller, fortunately for you readers I did. But I love old school emulators so I wanted to do this project. I honestly didn’t use it much because I had a Roku already that I used heavily for streaming etc. I had purchased a Firestick when they first came out for $19. He was using it to play games on his Amazon Fire stick. This led to the Japanese government demanding that video game manufacturers schedule future console releases on weekends.So a few weeks ago I saw a post on Hackaday of a project from Pat, who managed to stuff a bluetooth controller into an old SNES controller. Its reception in Japan was so overwhelming that it caused a “social disturbance”, with over 300,000 units being sold within the first few hours of its release. Not so long ago we covered the best N64 emulators for Android!.The successor to the NES (designed by the same man, Masayuki Uermura), competed with Sega Genesis (also known as Sega Mega Drive) in what is remembered as one of the most notable console wars in video game history. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System, aka SNES, is a 16-bit home video game console released by Nintendo in 1990 in Japan and South Korea, in 1991 in North America and a year later in Europe. That's why we made a list of the best SNES emulators for Android, to warm the hearts of the generations that came before the new millennia. If you were born in the 80s' the nostalgia of the SNES games will hit you like a train at the mere mention of the console. Updated by Ivan Spasojevic on Jchanged some emulators.
