The Super Nintendo Fighting Game community has been struggling for years with ways to use newer controllers and arcade sticks.  Brook has been the leading controller converter supplier for the last couple of years, yet there is no Super Nintendo nor Super Famicom Converter available thru them. 

Currently, the SNES FGC has been using undamned USB decoders and wiring them to whatever SNES compatible board they have access to, with the two popular picks being soldering wires from a SNES controller board or spending the extra money for Brook's Retro board.  However, both of those options aren't foolproof due to the combined power draw of the undamned decoders and sticks sometimes being too much for what the SNES port will allow.

IntoTheIllusion recalls the following story from Evo Japan 2020:
"During the last minute of the Sailor Moon S side tournament, one of the extensive DIY adapters didn't have an extra USB power supply necessary for a lot of the fight sticks.  
Another player actually offered to strip his USB-B inside his fight stick away and just use another stick for the tourney. If it wasn't for the fact that I remembered hitBOX guys always carry around at least 1 USB-B cable for Smashbox and Cross|Up, there would have been inconveniences for people and there would have never been a double EVO SMS champ.
All of it could be a lot more easily prevented by a simple-to-use adapter."

Community member Alexander Price in England commented explaining that "It cost hundreds of GBP shipping decoder PCBs from a US shop just to make Europe's (afaik) only original hardware Sailor Moon S setup. Sailor Moon S is a surprisingly growing game, but modern controller support on SNES is a barrier that a ready made converter would tear down."




Our most recent attempt asking if Brook would release SNES converters was replied with the following "You should grab hundreds of gamer who need SNES converter just like you, and send a request letter to our company. Then I can lay the letter and name list on my boss's desk and barking: "No develop schedule? hum?" -- I believe we could see the product soon."



As such we are asking for support to let Brook know there are SNES/SFC gamers across the world that would love a ready made converter to play our favorite games easily with little to no input lag. Help us get a nice big list of signatures to put on their desk!
