After finding that ZSNES is the best emulator I have tried I decided I wanted a more realistic game feel, my Sidewinder Pro just wasnt cutting it. I did a search for a SNES contoller adpater, I found many from homemade to elaborate retail models. I decided homemade was my choice for the mood I was in yesterday. I used these instructions here

So off to the electronics store I went picked up all the parts I need, then off to the used video game store to see if they had any broken SNES consoles or parts. I mamaged to get the fron contoller ports for 5 bucks.
Well three hours later and no problems it worked flawlessly, Surprising seen as I havnt done anything like this since high school 13 years ago.
So here is the finnished product just the way I pictured it when I started:

Nice going.
Not trying to be rude, but can we see some schematics, or something?
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?

All it needs is the blue color replaced by SNES purple.

I was tempted to pull that off and paint it purple, maybe another day I will do it.
Sorry I dont have any schematics but the hand drwn instructions are available here.

Eh, hand-drawn instructions will do also, if (and when

The credit should go to the guy who created that web page, I asume he was the one who created the adpater, I just simply tried it out and it worked.
Many thanx for the great feedback though.
P.S. I used PSXPAD for the drivers the other one he mentioned doesnt seem to work with WinXP Pro Sp2.

Awesome. Now you need to put a SNES cart adaptor in the next slot.

This would be an awesome MOD, but SNES pads are getting harder to come by these days.
