Before the argument starts, Ive always said "sness" or "super En EE Ess". None of this "Ess En EE ESS" crap...

I obviously say "sness" as well.

If you use controller extensions you can use whatever control you want.

I would go with the parallel option
But buy the small plugs from rat shack
it wont stick out very far at all

I previously did this with a 600mhz mini itx and it worked fine i dont remember if i used dos or windows then dos as im not sure if the soundcard drivers are available for dos
I just used the parallel port to use 2 nes pads and use Gamelaunch to run the games in dos it worked great.
You can always gut the 2 nes controllers and wire them to serial if you wanted.
But just get an old nes use a dremel to cut out all of the posts inside the case that the screws use and throw the mini itx in there with a CF card and your basically done :)

well i've rethought this....at least for now....
i just purchased 2 NES usb controllers. not the adapter thing, but two new NES pads with usb ends. i have an old laptop that still works and i think what im going to do is put NES emu and roms on it and just plug up my controllers to that and test with that for a while and see how i like it. if i end up wanting to play SNES games in the long run, i'll probably end up opting for a larger hard drive so i can put snes roms on it as well. and the other good thing is that by keeping the pads usb, i can always hook them up to my mame cab and play making it a little more universal.
