Walmart sells that cheap white adapter thing that allows you to plug in a PS2, Gamecube, or Xbox controller. Corded Xbox360 controllers are already USB. Get with the times, man. How much time are you going to waste in order to try to spend so little... $5 is really hard to make a profit off of for anyone.

As for "making your own roms", I assume you want a backup unit. Search the posts of this and other forums for Game Doctor and its ilk. Or go to ToToTEK.

i have all the decks and games i bought orginally and stil enjoy them from time to time. i like how the snes pad feels.. i liek the way the nes pad on has 2 buttons.. its good times and great memories and GREAT gaming.

I guess you'll fit right in here, then.
However, what's with the double periods and lulz?

To clarify, I feel (and I'm not alone) that the SNES gamepad has a really good digital +pad. Many many hours spent with it in Super Mario Kart, F-Zero, Final Fight series, Megaman series, Starfox, etc.

But I would have to admit that the newer gamepads are actually better in terms of feel and performance, plus they have extra buttons to control the emulator.

Having gone through NES era myself, and even the earlier piss-poor TI-99/4a and Vic-20 joysticks, the "dual shock" abortion of a controller is still comfortable and functional in comparison.

Didn't mean to lecture you. You can always rig up a parallel port adapter and use the PPJoy driver.

lol nice ah the days of parallel ports. sorry for the double periods. i dunno why the are there. odd. at any rate

i like the old school ways yah sure there is better thing out there, which aint bad. but i stil like the fell of that old grey plastic controller in my hands. i put in alot of hours with that system and i like the emulators they have.

zsnes is a staple on all my pcs..

im not looking for extra buttons atm.. i got an xbox controller for that.. i liek the old school feeling. the main reason i asked is i got laptop that goes everywhere with me. it has copies of my games saves roms etc that i like to play away from home. it has usb ports and i would like to mod 2 old school controllers for it. :p just cause i can. i do remember a bit ago one could mod one with parts from radio shack. , but as of recent all i can find is chips and you have to program them.

i jsut want to , with relative ease, mod 2 for usb ports for travel. that is all. and google is being its normal self and showing me everything but what i want.

and my son wil be cutting his teeth on nes, snes, n64 etc.. HOOAH TO OLD SCHOOL!!!!!!

If you can find an USB adapter for SNES controllers, buy it.

I've used sneskey scheme and am using 2 snespads on the lpt. Except it's hacked as hell, but works, and without the diodes(using only one pin to power each).
It's not like you'll use the lpt printer nowadays.

Quite true...

And PS1/PS2 --> USB adapters are only $7 on ebay.
