I received a raspberry pi zero recently and thought it would be a fun project to fit it into an official SNES controller I was inspired by these similar projects: - - The main changes I was looking to try being: - Use an original SNES controller - Have HDMI out and power switch coming out the top - Run it on an internal battery (with charging port on the bottom) I am really happy with how it came out It runs for about 2 hours give or take, hooks up to any TV with just an HDMI cable and it was a great way to learn/practice soldering and electronics Wiring Diagram: - % ?dl=0 Case Modifications: % ?dl=0 Parts: - Raspberry PI Zero (v1.3) - - Super Nintendo Controller (model #SNS-005) - Powerboost 500c - - Lithium Ion Polymer Battery ( 500mAh) - - Slide Switch - - Mini HDMI Male to HDMI female adapter - How to setup up the gamecon driver to work with RetroPie: - Blugoo's step by step - --- The only difference to watch for is that we are wiring up an SNES controller instead of an N64 --- So based on my wiring diagram above the modprobe command to use is "options gamecon_gpio_rpi map=0,0,0,0,0,1" - Also helpful is the readme file from the gpio driver here - If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask in the comments below. I'll do my best to help out. Thank you! Update 12/28/16: @GroveMerida did a great write up on how he built his over at Lots of great photos and details there - Check it out!
