where do i solder the wires to on the controler on the silver bit. and could i move the buttons to other places how?

also can the game slot be moved because i have seen games slide down the side of peoples prtable.

Yes you can move the catridge slot, but noone who isn't very confident with their soldering skills should try it. It requires desoldering, and rewing 72 pins (I think it's 72, that is). Hard.

thenx. is there any way to break up a controller or re wire it . or are there any full tutorials to make a pal snes portable

There a two ways. The first is when you complety rebuild the controller using tactile switches. For the second method, you have to cut the board into 3 sections, then rewire the traces.

Ok. See those little traces. If you scratch them some copper will emerge. Just solder to this and reconnect them as they used to be connected. Btw. i'm thinking of doing a pal snes portable guide. But at the moment there are non. I'm doing a pal one though. So I can always try and answer some of your questions.

Ps. You might wanna try and find one of the more rarer units with built in apu. (audio processing unit) if you don't know what that is search google.

is desoldering and then re wiring the cartridge slot worth it

Well depends. It looks nicer. But it's a lot of trouble and makes your unit thicker. Plus exept for fashion it's not really necessarry.
