SNES CONTROLLER ADAPTER FOR PC VIA PRINTER D25 PORT

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.

Not really anything to add to the poll, but I made my own and it works great. I would recommend anyone buying one and $10 is about as cheap as you can buy the parts for.

I also made one using a 4 player adapter to get a 4 player model.  I think they are cool.

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

There is a driver, which can be downloaded from http://www.psxpad.com/index_e.php. Dont be put off its called psxpad as the driver is for a selection of different console controllers including the psx and snes.

My design is based on both http://www.tolaris.com/snes-to-parallel/ and 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.
