Questions
How big is the Arcade Controller SNES PCB?
It measures 70 × 46 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Arcade Controller SNES use?
17 parts, built around the 74HCT00D and CD4021BE. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Arcade Controller SNES KiCad files?
From the Sirotaca/SNES-Arcade-Controller-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Arcade-Controller-SNES.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/Arcade-Controller-SNES.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Arcade Controller SNES design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
