    Hey guys,
    I am thinking of making up some SNES pass through's to allow for playing US carts in a Super Famicom or PAL SNES.
    I have heaps of donor carts and boards I can use. I just need to find cart connectors to attach to the top of the pass through.
    Anyone have an idea of what to use or where to get them? I know you can buy pre-made ones but they do not come up that often and cost so much when they do. Nearly as cheap as buying another console.

    Let me know what you all think.

    Thanks for that. Seems like what i am after. But this does look like a one off and I have a few customers here in Australia that look for these. Also I was wanting to install a SuperCIC chip inside to ensure full compatibility with all games.

    Just use a Game Genie. They are cheap and easy to modify (shave off the tabs on the top connector). Then you can plug any region cart into your system without issue and without cutting your system.

    That's pretty cool, I was looking for something like this a while back, I have a few adapters anyway, but the space on my shelf means I have to pull the snes out if I have the universal adaptor and a game plug in.....something like this would probably just about fit(would still have to take the console out to insert the game or remove it but better than leaving it dragged out whilst playing) nice work anyway and good luck finding connectors for them, might be worth asking the people who make the retron type consoles if they could supply some I'm sure they probably get them dirt cheap in bulk
