(optional) - Make a hole with a Dremmel to make room for a 25 pin printer port (or smaller, it just needs to have atleast 11 connections)

2 - Follow the schematic (pic 1) solder the wires to the points, in different colors (pic 2). You can choose to wire the directly to the board, you you can do like me, and use a male printer port on the pad and female printerport on the Advantage. (pic 3) That way you can use the advantage without having cables all over :-P REMEMBER: If you do choose to use ports, you have to wire them mirrored. If you don't know what i mean, put the 2 ports togheter, and then you will know.

3 - Open your NES pad (pic 4)

4 - Unsolder everything, and cut the lines that i've marked (pic 5)

5 - Done that, you need to follow the schematic (pic 1), and wire the NES pad accordingly. Remember to put the cable in the "lock". (pic 6) Close it up.
