Downing's SNEXbox Controller

[Downing]

Hey Guys! This was a small mod I started a few weeks ago and just finished off this morning. It's basically just a case mod as I took the guts from a SNES first party controller and put it into an XBox controller casing. Took about 10 hours or so to get it functional and as you can tell, no time was really put into making it look nice. I just wanted to see if I could get it working and I have!

The D-pad, ABXY, Start, Select, L and R are the only buttons that work really, but the next mod will allow for me to use the control sticks as both directional and ABXY additions.

Had to chop the SNES PCB down quite a bit but fortunately the the traces were quite easy to follow and the processing chip is in the open so soldering directly too it was quite easy. I'll try and get more pics up but for know here is a short video of it in action.

Very nice.

But why? Just because? I'm personally with the guy on the video comments, except a little different. I want to see PS3 internals in a 360 controller. I love the games on that system, but the controller.... not so much.

Nice job, i think i wanna mod mine now too, but instead i will using a ps2 controller shell or a spare saturn 6 button controller.

Thanks! Yeah it was just something for the hell of it. Not anything super special, but fun to do.

So true! If not too much a risk of popping the wires, can you post a couple of pics in the OP? A finished and a skeleton view? Still pics are easier to closely study, useful if someone wants to try this.

Hey man, sorry I just read your post! I'll see if I can dig up a few pics, if not I'll open it up and get some pics for ya. It really wasn't complicated, just a pain in the ass getting it to fit correctly.
