SNES Controller Mod for the Turbo Duo

[KnightWarrior]

Like the NES Mod, But for Games like Street Fighter 2 CE

Can it be done? I know the NES/SNES is the samething, But the wires are different

Holding Select or Start to enable Mode B for 6 button

It would very time consuming to wire up a snes pad for the pc engine. If you want to buy all these parts and solder it all together then yes it would work. You could forgo the chip that deals with rapid fire function to make things a little easier but it would still be a pain in the ass and take quite a chunk of time to complete.



There is however an easier way to mod a original NES pad but that wouldn't help you for street fighter II since it doesn't have 6 buttons.

Your best option would be to just buy a 6 button controller.

It can be done. NES and SNES has simlar protocol with SNES using second chip for 4 extra buttons and PCE uses 2 chips for extra 4 buttons as well. Remove the shift register IC that Nintendo used and figure out what button goes where, then put in PCE's IC and wire it up.  If you want SNES pad to work like 6 button version (X, Y, L, and R), that requires 2 chips and some more wiring.  Finally you'd need the PCE or TG-16 plug rather than SNES plug.  If the pad you're hacking has rapid fire option, they often can be left in. When I hacked my NES Advantage I was able to keep original rapid fire option for PCE.

If I had a spare SNES pad I really liked, I would have tried it already.  SNES Advantage doesn't come cheap at over $30 on scamBay and regular SNES pad isn't really made for PCE 6 button style gameplay (no rapid fire).
