Here is the one I bought.

I wouldn't really recommend it, however, as I confirmed you can't use a virtual memory card with the snac port for that controller enabled. It still works for the second port that isn't snac enabled, but some games don't like saving to the second card even on real systems.

From the wiki:
SNAC can be selected for each port and will support gamepads and memory cards on the corresponding slot. When SNAC is enabled for a slot, the emulated gamepad/memory for this slot is disconnected.

You can however use a real memcard on the same slot if your adapter allows.

Yes you could even modify the adapter I have if you have a spare memory card port laying around since the controller and memory card both use the same data lines.

Would this even work with some of the more oddball Memorycards like the PocketStation or that MemcardPRO?

Anyone got a diagram or photo of how the Guncon is connected to the display?

Is this something people would like to see made available, or just a set of instructions to make your own? - or both?

This can read two physical memory cards, and works with light guns, PSX mouse, rumble pads / shock feedback/recoil etc. and the Multitap 4 port adaptor.
Hi
You mention that this adapter already has the SNAC 3.3V to 5V in it so that means the pins in this image are wrong (right side means 5V). Shouldn't we set the pins to the left (3.3V) to use this PSX SNAC adapter?
