Yeah just checked a socket myself and its as you expect, top row is back row of pins on pcb.

(just checking my board with a usb microscope i've just bought, found some dodgy socket pins but Rom was ok surprisingly)
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Yeah, what I labeled on the PCB was actually right, but in the lib editor the pinout wasn't... see my previous post...

Ah - yes.

We are posting so fast missed that one. Looking at the board its going to be quite a mess to patch. I have thought of desoldering the socket and using patch wires but the that means the socket is hanging in mid air.

So I am going to patch my cable and label it only for the STF Remake board so I don't plug it into an original.

Yeah cable patch is good for now..

Leave it with me, I will design a "un-fek board" to patch it.

Let me give you a diagram of what the pinout on the board should be - I have drawn one already.

OK. This is what I have been using to help me decipher. Its based on me looking down onto the board and how you have your layout pics.

I am still building the cable to this
