My first project with ZSNES - Im not trying to brag either.

Gamepad acting up? Keyboard not responding properly? Can't get that other user to work? Read and post about it here.

My first project with ZSNES - Im not trying to brag either.

Post by marvelus10 »

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 http://s89078276.onlinehome.us/emubox/s ... apter.html

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. 8) Not trying to be rude, but can we see some schematics, or something?

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.

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.

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