History :
The 2Neogeo pad adapters V1 has been designed first to improve compatibility of retroelectronik MAK Superguns ; that way peoples were able to play with it using Sega Genesis / megadrive pads , Nintendo SuperNES pads,Saturn pads and SONY Playstation/Playstation 2 pads , not only with expensive and rare NeoGeo pads .
Moreover it was offering a 6 buttons extension mode and the ability to easily place any of the 6 buttons available in autofire.
V2 Improvements :
The new V2 release now also includes a simple yet powerfull input mapping. Using it you'll be able to configure each button at the place you want. It also includes a pot to adjust the autofire from 1 to 100 shots per second. Last but not least it has 3 output modes, the first one (default output) to fit Retroelectronik's superguns pinouts (Pro gamer ,essential and Basic), the second one to fit the neogeo CD pinouts and the last one to fit most other Branded supergun pinout.
Input Mapping :
The mapping input let you change all buttons and place them wherever you want.
To change the mapping,just press the mapping button more than 2 seconds ;
The Led is going then to do a short blink once to ask you which is the button A/1 , press a button.
The Led is now going to blink twice to ask you which is the button B/2 , press a button.
The Led is now going to blink three times to ask you which is the button C/3 , press a button.
It will blink 4 times to ask you button D/4 and so on until the button 6 ; it will then blink once more to indicate that your new mapping is saved and ready to be used .
The mapping can be changed as much as you want.
The default mapping out of the box is :
Autofire :
By default,buttons aren't in Autofire mode .
To swap any or multiple button(s) into autofire mode,just press start and this (these) button(s) during 1.5 seconds or more.
Do the same to remove the autofire mode for any button
Using the potentiometer you can also adjust the autofire mode from 1 to 100 shots / second depending on the game you're playing to
Mapping Outputs :
Output Mappings available :
1- All Retroelectronik Superguns (ProGamer and Essential )
2- SNK NeoGeo CD / MVS consolized
3- Other superguns
Swap between Output Mappings :
By default,the output mapping is the Retroelectronik's one (1).
To swap between the Outputs mapping,just press the mapping button once and less than 2 seconds. The LED light will blink once,twice or three times to indicate the new current mapping used.
The mapping output concerns only the NeoGeo pad pinouts output ;
Why a mapping Output ? :
The original NeoGeo pad pinout from SNK was designed to handle 4 buttons + Start (and select concerning NeoGeo CD and MVS PCBs) while Superguns like the Pro gamer and the essential are able to handle 6 buttons + Start and a button for coin.
So the standard was clear concerning directions , 4 buttons and start but confusing concerning extra buttons ( the 2 extra buttons , select and coin ).
So to fit the original standard from and extra ones used to place all extra buttons,the SNES2NeoGeo can handle 3 mapping outputs
The default one is used by NeoGeo AES consoles and Retroelectronik's Superguns including the Pro Gamer
To swap between mapping outputs you just have to press the integrated button . Then the light will blink to the new mapping (once for the first mapping,twice for the second one,etc...),press the button once more to go to the next mapping.
Pinout for Left,Right,Up,Down,A/1,B/2,C,3,D/4 and Start are common for all output mapping
