B: SNES pad -> PC

[Fabrizo]

I have been looking all over for a convertor that would allow me to use SNES pads on my PC as of late, and thus far I have been unsuccesful in locating anything of the sort. Ive only managed to find a site that once sold them, but but stopped about four years ago, and diagrams that leave me confused (im not particularly experianced with making adaptors and such). So my question is: does anyone here know of some place that still sells them, has one that they would like to sell, or would someone be willing to make me one for a fee?

you could get a GC to pc adapter and use those hori controllers that look like snes pads.

I can make them, but they plug into your parallel (printer) port. The 2 easiest ways of going about this are a snes extension cord (hard to find) or a snes multitap (also hard to find). There is a third option, of just making a snes controller only work on pc. If you happen to have a snes extension cable that you wouldn't mind changing to a snes->pc converter I could build it using that.

oh and there is a third, harder option, you can salvage the snes ports you need off a dead snes.

In any case, send me a message on aim if you wanna talk about it.

Having it plug into the parallel port isn't a problem, as that port is unused on my PC (my printer is USB based). Ill have to send you an email instead of using aim sense I use school computers for the internet these days (my PC's net'less), and they don't have aim on them (I can't install programs eather as they have them well locked down).

noted, and reply mail sent. I'm also willing to trade a game that I don't have for saturn or something like the cost of labor I quoted you in my reply mail.
