My Pi in a SNES.

@Morph-X Thanks for the info, I kinda suspected there was some soldering involved.
I dont think my china usb rocker will fit without a lot of hazzle, so i will
probably try to strip the wires and connect directly to the org snes power button, when I get some free time over.
(There something special about the real sound and push-resistance from the snes buttons, gotta have it!)

Also, heres a more like-friendly picture, since I have closed some of the holes and got the Led light to look better.

@Morph-X Heeey.. Im about to try this soldering thing. (finally packed everything out after moveing)
About your power button solution;
Did you remove the red and black wire from the snes power switch and just solderd 1 of the 4 wires
(2 for power and 2 for data inside a usb cable right?) from the usb cable to the "small pcb" thingy that the snes red/black wires was solderd to? Sorry about going on and on, just wanna get it right..

@Dipkid

Don't be sorry, i'm glad to be of help!

I quickly made a drawing for you, obviously a lot easier than putting it into words. ;-)

This is how i did it. I just cut the white and green wire since data is not needed in this case. Hopefully it's of any use to you. And good luck!

Dipkid

@Morph-X That is f**kin excellent! Just what I needed. Thank you so much.
I´ll post some pics after Im done.

@Dipkid just so you know, you should test the wires with a multimeter to verify they are correct. Cheap chinese cables will mix up the red, white, green and black wires.

Dipkid

@edmaul69 yeah I´v been reading that, thanks for the heads up!

Morph-X

You're most welcome. edmaul69 is right, you should make sure the wires are not messed up.

Looking forward to your progress!

Dipkid

Done! Thanks to @Morph-X for soldering tips!
Also alot of praise to @Floob & TechTipsta for all of their YT tutorials, tips n tricks.

It works like a charm. Very satisfying. Time to play som Paper Mario this weekend.

Morph-X

Excellent! Very well done and i wish you loads of fun! ;-)

@dipkid Poor SNES, now it’s just a boring emulation box with input lag and no cart support. I always wonder what people do with the original OEM board. I assume they throw it in the trash since they never mention anything about it.
