The SN Programpad was a controller for the Super Nintendo that had pre-programmed macros for Street Fighter 2 and Fatal Fury. But it would ALSO let you program your OWN. So... lets see if we can get this thing to play MARIO for us 🤔

That reminds me of an old college joke I made. There was a command we had to use on a processor sometimes, called "subtract from accumulator D, or 'STD." ...so I had to give instructions not to input HIV. While the entire class and the instructor thought it was pretty funny, one guy, the brightest of our class didn't. "Please tell me you're not trying to hide something."

Regarding the MODE 0 secret macro (7:09) to allow you to select the same character: In the original Street Fighter II for SNES, you had to enter a code at the CAPCOM logo screen before the main title would appear. This controller enters that code for you, changing the background from black to blue and allows for two players to select the same character in VS. mode.

I had this controller as a kid! I thought that it was cool that you could see the PCB through the clear back. Pretty novel aesthetic at the time. I convinced my parents to get this controller for me for Street Fighter, but I ended up only using it for its turbo function. I tried programming macros once or twice, but I was too young to understand and take full advantage of that kind of feature. It's been funny watching Bob's other videos complaining about macro functions on modern 3rd party controllers when this Program Pad had been around for so long before now. I actually remember accidentally bumping into the macro buttons and the controller having a mind of its own in other games and me getting killed as a result. Good times.

I can imagine that thing being pretty sweet for Link's Awakening with a Super Gameboy. You could easily switch between commonly used items. Make a macro for switching A with like the first item in your inventory, and a macro for switching B with the second item. Then, if you're grinding for some rupees or something, you can just hit a button and it swaps your shovel for the Roc feather, and you can hop over a hole. Then swap back.

I still have mine too... I assume, it should be in one of the boxes in my closet. My major problem with the controller is that you have to input the move once... _why do you think I bought this stupid thing?_ When I'm play [Fighting Game X] I can do the standard ⬇️↘️➡️ combos pretty consistently, you just sort of roll the D-pad. It was always the ⬇️➡️↘️... or something that confused me. Why wouldn't it just let us "type" in our inputs and play them at full speed? I now know it's because everything's much more complicated than that, but it really pissed me off at the time.

I actually used to own one of these! Dragon Warrior for the NES had menu options for "DOOR" and "STAIRS", requiring you to select them every time you encounter a door/stairs. If there are any obnoxious menu items like that in any SNES RPGs, this controller would be fantastic at reducing those inputs. You could also program it to succeed at mini-games, assuming you record 1 success, and the mini-game doesn't change.

I had one of these macro controllers for the Genesis. My favorite thing to do was use it on fighting games, like this MMPR game. I'd record the macro which was literally button mashing, set it to C, and then just hold C to win as it would randomly move and do special moves. No idea what it was called, nor if it was pre- or post- the one you talk about. But it was pretty awesome for other games too.

I totally had this when I was a lad around '93. I don't know where I got it or if I even asked for it (for my b-day or Christmas) but I spent more time trying to program the damn thing than I did actually playing any games with it. I was the kid with no friends who owned MK and SF2: Turbo because I liked seeing/trying to perfect the special moves in 2 player. One character that would just stand there so I could practice on them. Yes- I was a real hit at parties.

Either that or they had a different model that did have a battery.

While I didn't have the SN Program Pad, I did love my SN Pro Pad. I played almost exclusively with it, and didn't realized the size was different until one day when I switched back to my bone stock SNES controller and kept banging into walls in Star Fox, because I would hit over as well as up and down. It is also very clicky, which is why I switched that day. It's hard to get late night gaming sessions in as a kid when your controller is so noisy that it gives you away.

There was also the SG ProPad 2 and 6 for Genesis (and likely SNES variants too) which had a simpler function - instead of full macro recording/playback, it merely allowed you to assign multiple buttons at once to either of two shoulder buttons.

The code for playing against the same character is used in the first SFII, wherein you could not select more than one of each character. The code is input during the CAPCOM logo splash. All subsequent versions of SF allowed you to play as the same character by default.

I had one of those controllers when I was a kid! I was awesome for Mortal Kombat. I didn't actually know what the screen was for when had my mom buy it for me but I thought it looked cool and it had turbo. When I found out you could program it I was blown away. I always wondered why almost nobody else did this on later consoles.

I had one of those. Always thought it was kind of useless for fighting games since if you switch sides the macros wouldn't be good anymore, but was amazing for Sabin's blitzes in FF3.

I legit loved this pad with my SNES, along with my ASCIIpad. Comfortable Dpad, turbo/macro, responsible buttons. Along with Tyco's Power Plug (that's another device worth checking out for Genesis & SNES, adds these macros & turbo to standard pads, like today's CronusMax, Cronus Zen and Titan One & Two series of devices.), were fun devices to dork around in games.

I had this controller as a kid. It was pretty epic. The fight against yourself thing that it’s talking about is for the original SNES Street Fighter II. The original SFII didn’t allow for two players to be the same character. That didn’t happen until champion edition. But there was a point in booting up the SNES cartridge where you can input down R up L Y B and access a mode that was like champion edition except you could not play as the bosses

I actually had that controller growing up! For me, I only really used it to farm items in Yoshi's Island because I'd just input the code to get to the bonus games. One major knock against the one I had is the hinges on the shoulder buttons weren't very sturdy. The back one on the R button ended up coming off after about a year or so of light use, so I ended up going back to the original SNES controller and throwing mine in the trash.

I got that thing as a kid with my Super Nintendo, and still have it in a box somewhere. I'm pretty sure it's my only working SNES controller left. It's a shockingly competent controller, although I was never super good at programming it. Really cool you got it to beat a level in SMB3.

I had these little boxes SNES controllers plugged into. It let you program something like 20 button macros as well as an adjustable turbo setting. Was probably around '97, I used it to grind Chrono Trigger a lot. I can't for the life of me remember what they were called.

Still have mine in a box with my SNES. I tried several non-standard controllers out since I am a gadget lover. There is another one that has a blue metal sheet instead of a control pad. It was supposed to allow faster inputs because the electric connection was made by pressing the sheet down onto the area below so the connection of circuits would be faster. Just ended up with a lot of bad inputs or lost inputs though. It didn't really work. What I did enjoy was the NES Max controller with the control plate instead of a D pad. I used it a lot for Mega Man 2. It was because of the double set of A/B buttons. One for single shot and one for turbo. That way I could pump lemons into Robot Masters but not waste my metal blades if I didn't want to.
