Installation Tips
- Use low-wattage, fine-tipped soldering iron
- Use flux or rosin-core solder
- Don’t hold the iron on the GBAccelerator or the GBC board too long as you may lift the solder pad
- Solid 30-gauge wire is recommended
- Follow wire routing indicated in diagram so wires don’t cross button pads, screw holes, or tall components
- Cut off excess wire length
- If using normal control mode, the three button connections on the GBAccelerator are interchangeable; it does not matter which one goes to which button. If you wish to use up/down control mode, make sure the correct button inputs (Select, Up, Down) are connected to the desired GBC buttons
- If alternate button assignments are desired, see button signal list for available connection points
