The schematic is giving you the wiring diagram for a 25-pin parallel port connector. The SNES end of it is as you look into the controller end of the cable. It's about as simplistic as it gets as far as schematics go. You don't have to read a word of spanish to read that, but google comes in handy if you must.

look at where the keys on the keyboard are dimwit -.-
I write without looking on the keyboard so that happens sometimes.
and i sometimes hit letters faster than i should
you "perfect" american -.-
ps: if you don't have anything to add to the topic just buzz out -.-

That's not really much of an excuse for excessive misspelling. Of course insulting a moderator doesn't help your case.
The only homebrew adaptors I've ever seen are either parallel or USB. The protocols used by the MIDI/gameport and console controllers are incompatible. You're better off just buying a USB adaptor from Lik Sang, or just buy an 8 button gamepad.

You should be respectful to everyone, not just the mods, so I don't see why they need to see it.
It's not going to work. Ever. The gameport is actually 2 different ports. A 31kbps serial port for MIDI data and a gameport that uses separate lines to detect the analog movement of 4 axees and 4 digital buttons.
Console controllers work completely differently. Correct me if I'm wrong from here on, but this is the way I recall it. The data trasmission from the controller is triggered by a clock signal from the console, then it sends a frame of button data back to the console. It just happens that a parallel port can emulate protocol.
And in your photos, the wire colors mean absolutely nothing. They're purely arbitrary.
sorry about the insult, i didnt mean anything by it. i am just having a reay bad day and dont have anyone to take it out on. people on the computer seemed to be a good target, but after being threatned to be banned i have decided to post non hateful comments. i actually joined because i am a great fan of ZSNES and have been using it since before i got internet access. maby i should just do the sensible thing and leave the put downs in the other room.

I made a decent one about 3 years ago, but a gave it away. I wanna build another one, but I can't find the specific DB25 plug(the one you can open, I don't want to cut a regular cable and make a half ass adapter). The soldering iron and the diodes are just waiting...
I'd say go down to your local Radio Shack, but I don't think they have them in Brazil. Any good electronics repair shop or a do-it-yourself electronics store (like Radio Shack) will have them for cheap.

No, there's no Radio Shack here. I've searched quite a bit, but can't find the plug anymore. Cutting a regular printer cable is ugly as hell.
Tried MercadoLivre(equivalent to Ebay) but the best I found was the germaniun diodes. They also got PS pads(single/no Dual Shock) for about US$10/15, but I want Snes pads, and two in the same plug. Power suply can hold both pads(used some evil trick to test).
I'll look downtown(again) when I get some time.
BTW, if I can't find it, I'll make it internal(using the plug that links the lpt to the mobo). I don't use lpt anyways. PC with embedded Snes pads, way to go!
