Need suggestions for hooking up original console controllers to PC.

Hi Dazz,
the woodworking piece is also one of the challenges I am facing in this small project.
I tried various techniques and tools and ended up with good, but not perfect results using a router. As I cannot manage to get absolutely precise cuts, I am filling the gaps with "wood kit" (not sure about the English term, it is material like modelling clay that becomes rock-solid after application and can be painted).
However, this is also my first attempt and I would highly appreciate additional suggestions.

I'm seriously eyeing up those N64 ports. It'd bypass my need for U360 controllers to run on my MAME cab.

Found these on Amazon. From what I have been reading the USB controllers are not that great and getting this adapter is the way to go. Is that the gist of it.

Sooo.. tempted... But, for me xbox 360 controllers work well for most systems. The only controller that probably really needs an adapter is the n64... I never know how to map those buttons on my 360 controller.

Yup, I have one of those as well as an SNES one. But for my cab I ended up getting the 4NES4SNES chip from Raphnet.net. This will allow me to have 2 NES and 2 SNES ports hooked up to 1 USB port. I should be getting my NES and SNES controller ports in the mail this week and will get them all soldered up. I finally pulled out my multi meter and found the solder point for the Jaguar controllers and now have 2 working USB Jaguar controllers. Just too bad I can't get Virtual Jaguar working in Windows 7 right now. So far that is the only emulator that I can't get running in Windows 7 x64.
