I'm wondering, is it safe to swap controllers into your SNAC connector (the level shifter thing) while your MiSTer is on? I'm guessing it is but does anyone know?

Electrically I want to say yes, the majority of the time you should be fine. But I would exit out of the core first before Swapping adapters.

I would be careful how you pull/unplug your Snac adapters as USB A isn't that robust
