You mostly know about my portable SNES, but is there a way to make the controllers other than the way he lists in the book?

My first priority way is to keep the contacts from the original SNES controllers, and use the rubber contacts, rather than tact switches.

That's actually the only thing I want to do.

I'm not even going to answer this one. It's WAY too easy to figure out.

Well, I'm new to this stuff. When you started out modding I'm sure you didn't ever think you could do that. I know you CAN do it, but I want to know HOW.

You can cut the traces on the controller board and solder new switches on wherever you want, you just connect one corner of the switch to a button trace, and the opposite corner to ground! You follow me?

I think so.

So I would basically just cut up the controller however I want, and use ribbon cable to wire it back the way it was?

Cool.

I'm definitely using that in my next project, but as for this one, I'm too far along on the controllers. :cry4:

Oh well, I'm saving the player 2 port for that, as well.

Ooh, also, is there a way to wire the tact switch method mentioned in Ben's book, but using only one NES IC?

No, not for SNES. However, you can use the SNES controller IC or just buy some 4021s from digi-key or whatever.

is a 4021 a SNES IC duplicate, or a NES IC duplicate?

Another thing I need to know (Unrelated to the topic title) which wires do you need to use the multimeter on? It's all the power wires, button wires, regulator wires, and A/V out wires, right?
