What is this thing?

Got this in a lot of stuff and don't know what it is. It has a nine pin plug and on the box it accepts two SNES controllers as well as a nine pin Plug on the side. What's it used for and is it worth anything?

Huh. Bizarre... Makes me think an adapter to use 2 snes controllers on genesis, except there's only 1 plug on that side cable.

Uh, aren't those SNES controller plugs?

Must be for the 3DO..

Must be for the 3DO..
That's what I'm thinking as well.

Umhh, Yeah it's SNES plugs, my bad! I fixed it in the original post too. Maybe it's for the 3DO, I'll have to try that out and see! Could really use it if that's the case since I don't have any six button 3DO controllers. The thing is is that this thing looks like it's home made with a dremel tool as the holes cut into the casing are very rough and not entirely symmetrical and even and the 9 pin plug on the case has the port with the screw holes in it for a PC type controller.

Did you figure this out? I'd guess either Atari 2600, Master System, Genesis, or 3DO to SNES controller adapter. I'm kind of curious to see the insides :)

There was another one of these posted on the site in 2006. It's for the 3DO.
