Connect an SNES controller to the computer

[simpat1zq]

Does anyone know if there is a webpage that will show me schematics, and have drivers that will work with Windows XP, for connecting an SNES controller to my computer.

I did a search on Google, but most of the sites I found simply tried to blind me with their oh so bright colors.

would you mind if i asked you WHY do you want to do that?

I don't use my SNES, since I can just play the ROMs on my computer, and I don't have a controller for my computer and I'm bored, this way I can kill 2 birds with one stone.

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but its in the same kind of area, so what the hell. Check out ALLTECHBOX for a handy guide on connecting PSX pads to your pc, including drivers for dual shock pads !! Now if I only had a soldering iron...

anyone have anything in English?
Babelfishing these pages makes it confusing, and I don't want to screw it up.

How English do you want it ? The link I posted above to ALLTECHBOX looks pretty English to me.



In case you missed ithttp://www.alltechbox.com/pc/pc006_pg01_eng.php3

Any good for you?

avsdotcom, the link you gave me is for a Playstation controller, I'm looking for a guide to do this for a Super Nintendo Controller, which will have much different connectins, but thanks anyways.

check out the small import shops if you have any in your town
places like game and Eb wont stock them
you could allways try and look in the back of Game mags

Hey thanks for that I never knew they existed bit of a newbie to pc's - give up on trying to play ROMS with keyboard way to hard & I'm not right impressed with PC pads (prefer a simple cross hair pad) PS1 to my PC = perfect CHEERS

why need an snes controller when u can use the pc keyboard instead...

 

[2z]

its just tooooooo hard

yeah, i simply don't play my emulated games cuz the keyboard is just annoying (imagine trying to play street fighter 2) and both pc controller pads i have just blow. i'm not going to go out and buy a 3rd when my ps2 controller would be absolutely perfect. especially for racing games since i lack a wheel.

if someone finds a link or two to places where a usb adapter can be bought, please post it here.
