Core parts is LTC4316

www.linear.com

It make convert i2c communication device address without microprocessor.

but this project have some problem.

  • I must make pcb for wii connector mounting.
  • It is little difficult to buy core parts LTC4316
  • and LTC4316 is too small to hand soldering for average people.

    package is 3mm x 3mm in above picture

If I will make this product in machine production,I select this type.
But I am retro-parts-geek and no money for production , I have used Multitap.

HUDSON's Multitap have connectors already mounted and cased and I can buy oldtype SNES pad in HARD-OFF 100 YEN.
