Step 26Using the Original Controller Board
What you need:
Soldering Iron
Needle-Nose Pliers
X-Acto Knife
To use the original controller boards, you need to cut off the board sections, then solder wires to them.
You need to cut off the A/B buttons section, the Start/Select section, and the D-Pad section.
Using your X-Acto knife, score the spots shown in the picture.
Use your needle-nosed pliers to break off each section of the boards.
Scrape the light green traces off so you can see the copper underneath. Solder your wires to these. You basically want to extend the controller board sections.

There are no blue or purple wires leading away from the controller board and when I stripped apart the male port there are no wires attached to ports 6 and 7, but there are blue and purple wires attached to ports 6 and 7 on the female attachment, and they both lead back to the mother board. If they are not ground then the only other likely guess I have is that they are for another peripheral such as the solar gun (as in duck hunt). This would mean that I could theoretically just scrap them and solder the male wires directly to their corresponding pin on the mother board with nothing on attached to ports 6 and 7.
