      Hey all

      Does anyone know if there is there a publicly available circuit diagram for the GPIO adapator for the SNES? The product appears to have been sold out for a long time and I thought I'd give my hand at making it from scratch.

      Specifically,

      1. What is the chip at the very middle of the board ( http://blog.petrockblock.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/rpga2_4.jpg )
      2. What is the wiring for the 74HC125
      3. Voltage specifications

      cheers!

        The GPIO schematics have always been in Supplementary Downloads on the official website:

        A parts list and explanation of the circuit is on the blog post announcing the adapter:

        Here is a higher quality image of the board:

        AIUI the GPIO adapter is out of stock because it's been superseded by the ControlBlock:
