Title: SNES CONTROLLER ADAPTER FOR PC VIA PRINTER D25 PORT
Post by: aumameman on March 07, 2006, 03:03:05 am: EACH WILL BE DESIGNED FOR TWO PLAYERS AT A FRACTION THE PRICE OF THE ONE PLAYER USB ADAPTERS ON THE MARKET. IM NOT SURE WHAT POSTAGE IS BUT IT SOULD BE NO MORE THAN ~ $10 WORLDWIDE!

THIS IS A FISABILITY STUDY TO SEE IF PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN THESE UNITS. THE DESIGN IS FROM THE NET AND IS NOT ORIGINAL. THIS WILL BE DONE FOR LOVE NOT MONEY.

You made it USB for the Multi-tap? And it works with emulators?

My design is based on both http://www.tolaris.com/snes-to-parallel/ (http://www.tolaris.com/snes-to-parallel/) and http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/snes_adaptor/snes_adaptor_en.php (http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/snes_adaptor/snes_adaptor_en.php). I guess I tried to take the best of both worlds in the design. My prototype is a single player adapter but I do exect to make a two player model in the next few weeks.
