Record the wire color and pin number.Ĥ.Solder the diodes anode side (the side without banding) to the DB25 connector at pins 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. To do this simply use a multimeter, continuity tester or even an LED connected to a battery and check each wire and each pin on the connector to see which leads where.

Strip each wire as much as you think will be necessary, remember you can always strip more off as needed.ģ.(Optional) You can either use the pinouts as described below or you can test each pin on one of the SNES connectors you cut off. Strip the thick grey exterior cabling about an inch or so and seperate the interior wires, there should be five of them. Find a good workspace with proper ventilation from the lead fumes that the burning solder will give off.Ģ.Cut off the connector at the end of the SNES controllers leaving a bit of extra wire still attached on one if you wish to do testing (below). I suggest using Germanium 1N34A (Radio Shack part #276-1123)ġ.Assemble all the materials above.

While you don't need to have a strong background in electronics to do this effectively you ought to at least know how to solder properly. I did this last spring with some of my friends based on technical info we found on the internet in various places.
