Robert may be able to get costs down as larger batches are produced. The SNES-2-3DO comes in an elegant 3D-printed enclosure and is currently priced at $60. While older converters might not work at all with MNEMO’s ODE menu, adopters of the SNES-2-3DO can navigate through the ODE’s on-screen interface using their favorite SNES/SFC controller. The 3DO port of The Perfect General contains an 8-player mini-game in the style of Bomberman, and 2 simultaneously connected multi-taps in conjunction with the SNES-2-3DO successfully unlocks this multiplayer mode. One nice bonus is that the adapter also seems to be compatible with SNES multi-tap adapters.
SF2 experts can now experience the game with the familiar SNES-controller layout. Robert based most of his testing during the development phase around that specific game and he claims that it works perfectly with his adapter. One of the first questions that popped into my mind when I stumbled upon the SNES-2-3DO was: does it work with Super Street Fighter II Turbo? The gameplay of this excellent port of a classic arcade hit is hindered by the original controller’s layout.
He is also creating an easy-to-use updater GUI for Windows and macOS, but at the moment the update process can only be done through command line. Imagine blasting your way through Mad Dog McCree using the Super Scope!Īnd speaking of firmware updates, Robert baked in a USB-C port specifically for that. As of the writing of this article, the SNES-2-3DO does not support light guns, but that feature might be implemented in a future firmware update. The adapter is compatible with 1st and 3rd party controllers and mice.

It can be daisy-chained to other 3DO controllers via the included db9 male connector located at the back of the board. In this video I show you how to set a wireless controller on SNES9X using a PC (Windows 10). The SNES-2-3DO is a fully featured converter that takes 2 SNES/SFC controllers and connects directly to the single controller port on any 3DO console.
So why does 6-button controllers matter here anyway? More on that later.
