 There are two (at least) revisions of the SNES controller PCB, if you look at the pictures above, the US SNES controller has one, and the Super Famicom has the other. (you may find a US con with a PCB like the Super Famicom controller pictured here, and vise versa). There are two (at least) revisions of the SNES controller PCB, if you look at the pictures above, the US SNES controller has one, and the Super Famicom has the other.

-If your controller has places for R1 and R2, all you need to do is solder a resistor between the two solder pads in each place, a 1.2k resistor at R1 and a 3k resistor at R2. the resistors that are meant to go there are very small physically (surface mount), but without the propper tools it is difficult to solder these if you can even buy them. any resistor will do the job so long as it has the correct value, 1/8 watt resistors might be better as they are smaller physically, but a regular 1/4 of 1/2 watt resistor will do fine if it fits and doesnt interfere with the buttons at all.+If your controller has places for R1 and R2, all you need to do is solder a resistor between the two solder pads in each place, a 1.2k resistor at R1 and a 3k resistor at R2. the resistors that are meant to go there are very small physically (surface mount), but without the propper tools it is difficult to solder these if you can even buy them. any resistor will do the job so long as it has the correct value, 1/8 watt resistors might be better as they are smaller physically, but a regular 1/4 or 1/2 watt resistor will do fine if it fits and doesnt interfere with the buttons at all.
  
 That was the easy one. That was the easy one.

-The US SNES controller and the Super Famicom controller are both configured the same, but in this case, have different pcb revisions, and so look slightly different, the slight difference will be explained later. +The US SNES controller and the Super Famicom controller are both configured the same, but in this case, have different pcb revisions, and so look slightly different, the difference was covered earlier, or further above if you were lazy and skipped to the pictures:P
