NES Mod, Controller ports

The USB adapters came for the controller ports today, and I was a tad nervous since my brother usually does the soldering round these parts.  He was not here tonight so I sucked it up and gave it a shot.  After following a very easy to read wiring diagram on the retrousb web site, I got to it.  My first attempt did not work, and after I inspected the soldering job I did it was no wonder.  It looked like complete shit, I think the solder was embarrassed to even be on there.  After a more meticulous attempt, I plugged the usb into the pc and a controller into the port and........success!  I'm very proud of myself (and yes I know this is the easiest shit ever).  Everything else besides the pico power supply has arrived so we should be done within a week!

  1. Hey man, at least you didn't accidentally solder all the jumpers together like I did and make the little guys not work.
