I bought the ControlBlock to be able to turn a Super Nintendo into a multi system emulator using Retropie. I wanted to be able to use the original SNES controllers for nostalgia's sake, and didn't like the idea of using usb versions since it would destroy the look of the Super Nintendo. To my delight, I found that the ControlBlock not only allows me to use original controllers, but also to safely turn the pi on and off using the Super Nintendo's original switch, as well as utilize the original front LED. I was a little worried about soldering the ControlBlock, as well as the control panel of the Super Nintendo, but it turned out to be a less than monumental task. I can't begin to describe how ecstatic I was when I turned on the Super Nintendo to find it worked perfectly. A big thank you to Florian for all his hard work bringing us this device, as well as his awesome work on Retropie. This is fantastic!
