 ===== Performance =====
-You can play SNES games without special chips at full speed and some PSX titles. So keep it to 8-bit, non-demanding 16-bit and a bit of 32-bit systems. It's similar to an underclocked Pi 2 for reference. The main reason you're buying this is for the novelty of having a giant Capcom logo as your arcade stick anyway.

   - Connect one side of the USB Type A cable to the ''EXT USB'' port on the CHA. Do not plug the other side into the computer yet.
-  - Press and hold the FEL mode button underneath the board. The FEL button is easily reachable with just your finger as it is at the edge of the board. It clicks when pressed, and requires a surprising amount of pressure to activate. {{ hardware:cha-case-back-open-annotated.png?1000 |It's to the left of the controller serial ports, on the other side of the board.}}

+There is a very low chance that you might receive a 5V 0.2A electric shock in your extremities from doing this. This is usually harmless and undetectable to humans (if you've ever touched the metal outer casing of a phone charger, you've already received a larger shock than this). Nonetheless, if you're utilizing some sort of medical equipment that is sensitive to even minor shocks, take the precaution of wearing rubber gloves before doing this.
