Build Your Own Arcade Controls Forum

I ran a search for Super Nintendo but didn't come up with anything.
I'd like to build a Street Fighter Cab and am thinking the easiest/ most cost efficient way would be to hack some super nintendo controlers and run SNES in the cab.
Has anyone done this or know of any examples?
Thanks!

A real SNES or an SNES emulator?

A real SNES.
(hacking the control pads)
-
I'm sure it's been done, it's certainly not a difficult thing to do by arcade standards.
-
Didn't Nannu or was it someone else do a NES when he was like 10?
Picture is even in one of the Nintendo Power's I have laying around here.
I would think you could buy a real SF cab, for around the same price.
-
No way. You could find an empty cab, put a TV and SNES in it, hack the pads, and be all set in one weekend and have laid out way less than $100. 19" TVs are free all day long, SNES are easy to come by and cheap, and once you know where to look so are empty cabs.
-
Sorry, thought SF was going for pretty cheap these days.

I'll take 3 of these free 19" TVs please.

Where do you get free 19" TVS?
:)

Dude, where can you not get them?

OMG! I never knew about that site. Now I can stop sleeping on the floor and get myself a free bed. ^_^

Yep, but I didn't hack the controllers. I used the original NES pad, Max and Advantage. I know I've seen someone hack a SNES somewhere. Just can't remember how I got there.

Duuude, I remember that article! I was completley amazed at what you managed considering your age!
You must be the grand-daddy-o of cab building! I take my hat off to you! :D
-
I believe RayB actually built an SNES-based cab. Can't remember if he had pics or not though.
-
Nannuu,
Was your cab featured in Nintendo Power Magazine?????
If so I remember reading about it when I was a kid!
Anyway, if anyone knows any resources for hacking the SNES game pads that would be much info.
Thanks!

Not step-by-step but u can discern what connects where from it.
People should check out the main site in addition to the forums though
-
Thanks that's just what I was looking for!
One thing though, I can't tell how he grounded and where on the SNES pad, anyone know?

Yep it was. I was (and still am) a huge dork :). You can see better pics of it on my site www.willyliliana.com.
Sorry I'm not much help with the SNES hack though.

sweet site Nannuu!
I think the Nintendo cab is the best part!
:)

Yes, I made one back in '92.
Here's my thread on it:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,32480.0.html
It's been a long time, but let me know if you have any questions. I used the real arcade monitor the cab came with. The 2 original arcade speakers, and I hacked 2 controllers to use arcade controls.
