In the download section the there is a file called Direct Pad Pro. It has schematics and drivers to hook NES (and some other console's) to the parallel (printer) port of a computer, without needing to modify the joystick.

Skip the nes controllers, they only have 2 buttons anyway. Buy a playstation arcade style stick and use a psx to pc adaptor from lik sang. It's usb so it's a much more elegant solution I think.

If you make a lpt port adaptor, use NTPad for 2k/XP

DirectPadPro is old and has issues.
