"Lazy Man's SNES Reset" is nothing more, than an attiny microcontroller, sniffing the SNES controller port for a certain key combination. [Default: Start + Select + R].
When this button combination is pressed, the microcontroller will set the RESET-pin to "high" for a few milli seconds. Is this pin correctly connected to the SNES's reset button, it will trigger a (hard-)reset of the console.
This repository contains everything you need to build your own & become lazy!
- ATtiny13(a)
- 10k ohm resistor
- Some kind of ISP-Programmer (e.g. Arduino + ArduinoISP)
- Some wire, soldering iron, SNES (duh..)
- Clone git repository & switch to directory using:
git clone https://gitlab.com/nold360/lazy_mans_snes_reset.git
cd lazy_mans_snes_reset
- Install some kind of ISP flashing software. In this example we're going to use "avrdude"
- This was tested on Linux only!
You can also just download the precompiled hex-file & flash it using your prefered software: Download
Important: Don't forget to set the fuses correctly!
First we need to burn the LMSR-Firmware to the microcontroller.
- Connect attiny to your ISP programmer
- Connect ISP to PC
- Flash hex-file to attiny using: make program (or your prefered flashing software)
- Program attiny fuses using: make fuses (or your prefered flashing software)
This step is optinal and just needed, if you want to modify the source code. Tested on Linux only.
- avr-gcc
- avr-libc
- make
- git
make
If succeeded, you should have a new .hex-file & you're ready to flash your attiny.
