One nice bonus is that the adapter also seems to be compatible with SNES multi-tap adapters. SF2 experts can now experience the game with the familiar SNES-controller layout.

Robert based most of his testing during the development phase around that specific game and he claims that it works perfectly with his adapter. One of the first questions that popped into my mind when I stumbled upon the SNES-2-3DO was: does it work with Super Street Fighter II Turbo? The gameplay of this excellent port of a classic arcade hit is hindered by the original controller’s layout. He is also creating an easy-to-use updater GUI for Windows and macOS, but at the moment the update process can only be done through command line. Imagine blasting your way through Mad Dog McCree using the Super Scope!Īnd speaking of firmware updates, Robert baked in a USB-C port specifically for that. As of the writing of this article, the SNES-2-3DO does not support light guns, but that feature might be implemented in a future firmware update.

The adapter is compatible with 1st and 3rd party controllers and mice. It can be daisy-chained to other 3DO controllers via the included db9 male connector located at the back of the board. The SNES-2-3DO is a fully featured converter that takes 2 SNES/SFC controllers and connects directly to the single controller port on any 3DO console. So why does 6-button controllers matter here anyway? More on that later. Engineer Robert Dale Smith has just released a controller adapter that accepts Super Nintendo/Super Famicom controllers and converts their signal for use on a 3DO console he’s calling it the SNES-2-3DO.īefore getting into the adapter itself, I should first mention that there were at least one functionally similar 3rd party adapter (e.g 3D-Zero Super NES Controller Adapter) and a couple of licensed 6-button controllers (Hori’s Fighting Commander and Capcom’s Soldier Pad) that saw release during the console’s lifespan, but their current availability on the second hand market is scarce and are therefore considered as collector items among 3DO enthusiasts.
