Pinned Naomi Maple Adapters Available from Mitsurugi-w

The microphone adapter is the same that come with Planet Ring, except you have a wire to the mic and not directly plugged in it. The PCB part is I think the same than in a DC controller (but not full, like in arcade sticks or others).

is this adapter still possible to purchase?

I still sell the DIY kits. You just need to harvest the DC ports yourself and solder it all together.

nice.. Does it come with instructions on which wire go where?

No wires. And pretty easy to figure out assembly. Just make sure to do a very clean job removing the DC controller ports from the pcb they are on.

How are you desoldering them from the original PCB, pro desolder stations/pumps?

I tried to use a iron and braid, heeeeellll no was taking forever (also not very clean as Mits mentioned above).

I didn't even bother with hot air, I figured the plastic housing would melt for sure.

since at that time my pace rework station ws having issues. i used a pencil soldering iron and banging on table. takes timing but easy to do

I use a desoldering station. Makes quick work of it. You have to make sure the five holes for the pins of each controller are completely free before removing the port from the pcb. The pins are extremely thin and fragile.

if you need this done I can handle it for you easy peasy.

de-soldering anything is a pain in the ass, even with a desoldering station, I wouldn't even attempt with braid

For what it's worth I did mine with a solder braid so it's definitely doable. That said I probably wouldn't do it that way again, way too time consuming if you have a desoldering station.

Cool man, next time I'm at the storage I'll grab 'em... Have 3 DC PCBs (6 controller ports) so you are welcome to a pair if you want.

Oh the motherboards are already done for...

The board that failed I tossed
My first replacement ended up being the rare VA0 (that won't work with GDEmu) so I smashed it with a hammer in a rage when the seller wouldn't take a return
The final replacement board went inside my black DC shell and I'm using it currently
