Retro controller adapters for Wii?

[norkusa]

Been playing a lot of emulators on my Wii lately. I like using the original Classic Controller to play them with but it doesn't feel quite right on the Genesis emu and a few others.

Are there any kind of adapters out there that let you use original controllers or ones like the Saturn USB pad on the Wii? I saw this NES adapter that uses the Gamecube controller port. I actually have the USB version of this adapter and it'd be great if there was a way to use it on Wii somehow:

Fair warning, the N64 compatibility is iffy due to the fact that the VC games were actually remapped to work with the Gamecube pad. So, for instance, the Z button on an N64 pad won't target in the VC version of Zelda.

The Komodo adapter in the second link was originally supposed to have N64 support but they dropped it, probably for this very reason. The thing is even shaped like an N64.

Apparently the Genesis support doesn't work with 6 button pads either, only working in 3 button mode.

Thanks for the info and links, Tony. That 4-in-1 was what I was hoping to find. I don't really play much N64 anyway, so the remapping thing doesn't bug me much. Just wish it supported 6-button Genesis but I guess 3 buttons is better than nothing.
