    I am making a pass though adapter for my super famicom and want to know where I can buy an snes slot just like the ones used in fc twins and retro duos. Any ideas? The maker of the retrode use this cart slot and he hasn't replied to my emails so I thought I would ask the community. I have circled the cart slot in red on this picture of a retrode pcb. Every company seems to be using the same connector, so it makes sense there has to be a supplier out there.
    Thank in advance,

    Hi,
    I've made an order some years ago for a project and I've got some spare pieces, gold plated and normal metal.
    I will be happy to trade some for one of your adaptater.
    Or at least send you one or two for free (maybe just shipping depending of the cost).
    PM me if you want.

    If you want to go by another way, the old ISA socket fit if I remember correctly.

    Actually I'm not building it from scratch, i'm using a tototek t adapter, which only will require me to remove both ports and solder in the new one as well as wire a few pins that aren't already hooked up. I will certainly pay you for 2 of them, just so I can have a spare port for projects in the future.

    @LeHaM: Yes, a 2.5mm is not 2.54 pitch but it will fit rightly in and with a litle bit of hand tweaking (or might I say Dremel cutting) you have a nice socket to test your proto, old school style.

    And for my case I didn't know where to buy some new ones, I made a small batch in a china factory a while ago.

    @ Takeshi: PM is going.
