looking for: SNES to PC controller adapter

[Titan]

I know there used to be some hand-made adapters for SNES-PC conversion, one on zophar's domain used to go for 20 bucks and plugged into the paralell port, supported 2 controllers. Alas, they are no more.

Well, I recently sold all my snes gear except my super advantage joystick. this thing is great, normal/turbo/auto fire switch for each button, and a turbo-rate slider for each button, and it's a sturdy steel toy. I want to use it on my pc, I figure the autofire feature could be handy. Does anyone know where I can find such an adapter for sale? Or perhaps, the design for such an adapter, with windows drivers? I have enough EE experience to build a digital cirguit with a given diagram and list of parts.

Yeah doesn't look like i'll have much luck there. There's not a date anywhere on the page, but the broken ad at the top for joining alladvantage.com isn't encouraging. I just tried to send him an email and got a delivery failure. Thanks for the try though.

Any others?

I have a USB SNES controller at home. It's an actual nintendo controller that's been opened up and modified so that the cable coming out of it is a USB cable. It looks like it came that way from the factory and works perfectly with no special drivers or anything.

I bought it for $25, but I'm not sure what site I got it from... I know there's a thread from within the past month on here that mentions it, though.

you can make your own.
Go to my website, click on EmuBox, scroll to the bottom.
I use PSXpad and it works well in Win2k. Haven't tried it in XP though..

Cool, thanks! This looks like the path I will go down. Unfortunately, i lack a soldering iron and any sldering experience, usually I just splice and tape wires. I'll figure something out. According to the psxpad website, they also support windows XP, so I think i'm set. 5 diodes and an old printer cable is some damn cheap supplies!

Thanks again!
