Phase 1 - Make it Work - Controller

Well,

I decided to convert a SNES controller to test the MVS. The ideia is simple: re-wire the SNES controller to the MVS

Cheap Chinese version of SNES controller





Step 1: Disassemble the remote


Remove the 5 screws from the back.
Remove back to reveal wire and board
front face of the controller
Just the board
De solder original cable


Step 2: Rewire the remote

Joystick extension (cheaper than the original Neo Geo cable)

  2. Yo boy,
    You ever finish this project up?

    I was looking up info for wiring a DB 15 connector, and found your wire diagram. I took a multi-meter to mine, and our color layout is completely different. Always good to be handy with a multimeter.
