Controller Ports for SNAC adapters

Unread post by foldor »

Hey, if I wanted to make SNAC adapters for myself, where would be the best place to find the controller ports? I'm only finding a couple on eBay, and they're ~$10 each. I must be using the wrong search terms or something. Where does everyone else get them?

I ordered the SNES and NES ones from AliExpress - from a store on there called Kingworld.

The GameBoy link port I got from AliExpress, just realised its a different seller - China Game Store

Mega Drive and PCE, I had parts already from other projects - the PCE ports I searched eBay for mini din 8 PCB to find the right part (got 2 for just over £2 including post). For Mega Drive, I searched for things like DB9 Female right angle or, dee 9 way right angle, I got 10 of them for £2 inc post).

I’m UK, so the sellers prob charge more to send to the states, and I probably could of gotten them cheaper looking on AliExpress for all of it. But those are the sorts of things I was looking for.

Thank you so much for listing the sellers on AliExpress! For some reason my searches never found these ports, and they're super cheap.

Hi Pete,

Any chance you have any left over NES, PCE, GB & Mega drive controller ports left over? I’m trying to purchase one of each For USB adapters but to buy them in the UK is a bit expensive. I don’t wanna wait 3 months for shipping from China either 😁
