This is a particularly frustrating way to make a working SNES pad. Just take a SNES pad apart and do some SMT soldering.

it is very frustrating indeed. It's not really all that complicated, it's just a lot of wiring. I guess it depends on how good you are with SMD

Well, soldering all those legs to a tiny SMD chip shouldn't be unimpressive either

thanks i really appreciate the help. if for some reason it doesn't work with Ben's design then ill use the schematic misjah gave me they r actually rather different but from experience i with other electronic circuitry theres always different ways to do it. i dont want to overpost and fill the forums so i hope you'll visit my other post and help with that stuff.
