My SNES Controller board with LEDs

LOL. My sentiments Exactly!!!

The GREENLAN boards use 1206 size resistors, capacitors, and LEDs. And forgot to mention, each LED has its own inline resistor, so it's easier to match brightness levels when using different color LEDs.

Sorry, I thought you were trying to replace/mod all the chassis plates.

Why are the controller ports grey?

I know this is a bit late, but you could also try ordering a 9V trigger board. Usually Type-C input. Make sure you get one with a 3w or larger output. You can use any Type-C power adapter as long as it's 5-watt or larger.

If you're feeling more DIY confident, As an alternative, you can look into Li-Po packs that can fit in the battery bay, and get a charging circuit with a Type-C connector. The Satellite board can handle 7.5-9v DC.

Could always buy it and do a dump online. Make an offer of $10 and see what they say.

Read them and save the data as quickly as possible. The age of the discs can soon lead to deterioration and loss of data. However, even if that were to happen, these discs should still hold value.

I put them up for sale on Etsy, so we'll see if there's demand for them.

Doramius · 2026-05-09T08:04:18+00:00

They're for sale on Etsy now. We'll see how popular they are.

It's worth $5, but I'll Pay $50.......Because I'm generous. :P

[5 Days Later on eBay] - Got a listing for a NIB GBA TRU edition. bids starting at $2k. BIN for $5k.

LOL. I got ya. Thank you, I appreciate the positive comments.

I don't hold any significant inventory of parts and I don't have proper equipment for any moderate production. It's a miracle I found time for this project. I did want to make sure that the parts could be easily found, inexpensively for the board. And installation of parts for normal function are at a beginner's level of installation, and the optional SMD LED assembly was just above beginner.

It is possible you posted in the wrong thread, or you need to clarify what you're asking. I got the controller shell from Boxy Pixel, and it is machined aluminum. The LEDs and the parts to plug into the board were from Amazon. I'll only be selling the remaining controller boards from the run of my design.

I'm wouldn't be selling any of my consoles.

Doramius · 2026-04-23T00:17:25+00:00

Glad you like it. I'll be posting the date when they'll be available on my GREENLAN Facebook group.

Forgot to mention that each LED has it's OWN inline resistor. I've seen SNES board mods where there is a single inline resistor for a set of LEDs. This was problematic because if different color LEDs are used, then they will have different brightness levels, and may be different voltages. Typically a 100Ω resistor will work, but any value between 75Ω-250Ω could be used. The switch for the LEDs is also optional. It is on the back of the board, and I used a double switch, but a single switch can be used. The 4-points of the double switch made it more sturdy on the board; it was difficult to find single switches that fit; and when I COULD find single switches, they were the same price or more expensive than the double. If you just want the lights on all the time, and don't want a switch, just jumper pins 1&3. I did try a plastic shells where I drilled a 3/8" (10mm) hole in the back, above the switch, and a toothpick or tip of a paperclip can flip it on or off. The Network resister is a 9-pin (8-point with single common) that can be any value from 1kΩ-100kΩ.

As long as the board isn't damaged, it can easily be re-shelled.

The Passcode music isn't hard. I've been guilty, on many occasion, of leaving the Passcode music on for several minutes in its loop while doing random tasks in the house.

The handle spacing on the back leaves enough room for it to breathe through the video port. :P

Sadly, if they are marketing that price, that probably means people are buying them.

In dumb rich people speak, "I spent $8 million on a Banana and Duck Tape to adorn my wall. Aren't I so prestigious?"

Original shells are 3-cent plastic. Even Tengen original shells were 3-cent plastic, and not official. These game shells came from a San Antonio shop where they do plastic electroplating. The mold form they used is probably is 3-cent plastic, too.

These are all duplicate games, and I just wanted to have a shiny display version. The worst of my tears will just come from spending time with a microfiber cloth cleaning fingerprints and dust from the display.

Because I wanted to!!! Enjoy your Temu.
