Nes-Controller converter to PC?

If you have a larger selection of 650w, that's fine. It depends on the manufacturer, 700w was just a base to work from.

I haven't read what you two have been talking about in-full, but it seems a tad more complicated that it has to be (no offense).

I bought the NES USB converter from here, and it works like a dream. The same level of comfort I experienced while playing my actual NES unit on my floor years ago is reproduced in its entirety when I use this. It's a mite pricey, but with it comes the luxury of using one of your very own NES controllers, as well as a commendable portability factor. I've had mine for almost two years and have never unwound the cord; it fits into my front shirt-pocket.

 

I totally suggest it.

$22 + shipping for something you can make with $2 worth of parts and 5 minutes of your time is hardly what Id call worth it.

 

Anyone half competent with a soldering iron (You don't even need one actually if you can get the right kind of electrical connectors) can wire an NES pad up to a parallel cable.

 

PLUS that adapter you listed, is $22 for NES ONLY. What about all the other controllers you can hook up the way I suggested, by simply making a box with the parallel cable wired to 2 or more db9 serial ports inside.

 

This stuff is dead simple, and by buying adapters for all those controllers you're looking at over $100 versus MAYBE $10 if you built a multi box.

 

I'm building my own soon, and I'll throw a thread up here with pics so you can see just how simple it really is.

 

@svt_lightning - Yes that is EXACTLY what you would need.

1+^^ I agree that is alot of $$ for just a NES controller. I'm not saying it doesn't do the job but for less then 20 bucks I bet I can get out a NES,SNES, and sega controller for less, but thanks for the help though

 

ya that sticky "HOW TO"" would be alot of help man I reconmmend making one. great well I got everything except the MOBO, case oo ya and ram plus that card as well. I'm just trying to avoid paying for shipping but I'm close to building my parts will come in mon or tues Ill post my specs in the other thread
