Description

The Super Nintendo: USB-C Kit is a board that allows you to replace the original power connector with a modern and standard USB-C port.

If your original connector is too old or damaged and you need a new one, or if you would like to power up your Super Nintendo with a standard USB-C charger, such as the charger for your Nintendo Switch, phone, or laptop, you can do so with this kit.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The USB-C Power Delivery technology (USB-C PD) allows for communication between the device and the power supply(charger), enabling the negotiation of the voltage to be supplied through the USB-C cable. In this case, the microchip included on this board is configured to request 5V or 9V(2), signaling to the charger that it requires 5V or 9(2) to run on. If the charger is compatible, it will supply the requested voltage. If it’s not compatible, nothing will happen, and the console won’t power on.

(2) Version 2.0+ of this board has a selection solder jumper; if you solder it in one position, the circuit will require 5V, and if you solder it in the other position, it will require 9V from the power supply.
By default, it is configured to supply 5V.

Compatibility

This kit has been designed and tested on the Super Nintendo (Europe) or Super Famicom (Japan).

It may also be compatible with the Super Nintendo (America) since, although the shell is different, the rear plastic part is removable, and the power connector is in the same position.

Additionally, it can also be used with Famicom AV (NES II), although it requires additional manual work to install the kit.
