The simplest way would be to create a parallel interface, you can find schematics and drivers on the net. Creating USB peripherals is always more involved (and costly) due to the nature of USB. I wouldn't be surprised if someone already makes converters for Saturn pads, though.

Doh. What about something like this: http://www.jandaman.com/games.mvc?p=pcjoyb...tegory_code=SAT (currently sold out though).
Then again you could always hack up a saturn extension cable.

For schematics, see eg. DirectPad Pro or the Linux parport joystick driver docs.

Has schematic to make parallel port interface for saturn multitap.
Allows you to use 6 controllers at once.
Only need to sacrifice a controller extension.
Costs less than $10 total.
I used a radio shack DB-25 crimp connector, no soldering at all!
Works great with multicontroller in analog or digital modes too.
WINXP needed.
Give it a try, I'll be around if you have questions.
