      @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..

          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 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 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.
