Nintendo USB Controller Hack
Stormy151:
I bought a USB NES controller from Retrozone. They delivered quick, and it works great. In fact, I liked it so much I bought another one, and a set of SNES controllers for 2-player action. :)
I tried to find some NES controllers at thrift stores for a while, with no luck planning to do a hack. Then after pricing them on Ebay with shipping and everything, I figured that it would be cheapest just to buy the controller already converted.
Bgnome:
if you want a somewhat more functional controller and have a psx adapter for your pc already, you may want to take a look at the madcatz retrocon:

Jakobud:
Is it possible for someone to figure out how to program that chip so we could do it ourselves?
Bgnome:
why not hack a usb controller and steal the chip in it? ;)
