Snes controller to parallel port adapter

Product Description:
The SNES controller to parallel port adapter is a classic solution for using an SNES controller on a PC. Best suited for older machines without an USB port running DOS or Win9x.

Works with the following software:

• Windows XP with PSXPad. (Instructions)
• Windows 2K with PSXPad. (Instructions)
• Windows 95/98 with Direct Pad Pro. (Instructions)
• Linux 'gamecon' driver. (This one also supports the SNES mouse)
• Zsnes DOS version native support.
• Possibly SNESKey.

Pitfalls (Read before buying!)
There are a few risks of incompatiblity (see below). We can therefore not allow exchanges or refunds should one of the hereafter mentionned situations occur:

• Some parallel ports are not able to provide enough power to the controller. This happens mostly on laptops and PCs with non-standard parallel ports working at 3.3 volts instead of 5 volts!
• Special SNES controllers with potentially higher power requirements may not work.
• Some controllers simply won't work. But this is very rare.
• Windows Vista support status is unknown.
• Win64 support is unknown.

This adapter is built according to the instructions on this website.
