RETRO-FIT

The Retro-Fit is a modification kit which allows an original Super Nintendo controller to be enabled with Bluetooth connectivity in order to allow it to be used as a peripheral for modern computers and game systems.

Because the stock PCB inside the Super Nintendo controller has a fairly complicated shape, the outline of the Retro-Fit was taken from an optical scan of the original circuit board which was then processed in Illustrator and Altium in order to add Bluetooth functionality.

Features:

  • Drop-in replacement PCB enables Bluetooth connectivity as well as use of original SNES buttons and D-Pad

  • Powered by Adafruit EZ-Key, controller enumerates as a wireless keyboard and can have bindings set to control any application

  • Rechargable Li-Poly coin cell battery

  • Kit includes small screwdriver and hobby knife for modifying controller casing

  • Snazzy white, gold, and purple solder mask color scheme
