Recent homebrew projects like Opentendo, OpenSFC, NESessity, and more have allowed hobbyists to resurrect dead consoles using accurate replica motherboards. Thanks to StarlightK7, we now have an open source recreation of the SNES and Super Famicom controllers! This amazing project lets your rebuild dead SNES controllers using a modern replica PCB, and allows for lots of customization to the look of your controllers! On this week's Fix it Friday, we will build some new OpenSFC controllers and put them through their paces!
