Yes I did interface the nes/snes controllers through the parallel port.  The information I found was included in the linux kernel documentation, you can see a  copy of it here:

But I'm afraid that you'll need something more to use them in Windows, while this wiring may be the same, this driver was written for the Linux operating system, and you obviously will need one that is compatible with your operating system.  You may want to check out the DirectPadPro stuff, that's what I hear most people use.  For me, to get these controllers working, it was just a matter of connecting the right wires to the right pins, and then using the right driver, no headaches or weird problems, so I really can't help you a lot here.  Maybe someone else will post here who has experience with using these controllers in windows.

Some of these sites might be able to help you out:

A while ago, I came up with two names for my newest machines:

AACE:

Arcade And Console Emulator

and one that might be more appropriate for you, with the penguin thing and all:

ICECUBE:

Interchangeable Console Emulator

Feel free to use them if you wish. All I ask is that you please credit me with the name if you use it. Thanks!

Lbox or Pbox  :)

I haven't named my cab yet either. I put a Willow marquee in it though because my daughters name is Willow.
