    Default Hooking an SNES controller to PC

    Hey all. I'm not very computer savy, and I'm wondering if there is any product I can buy to hook a SNES controller to my computer? Thanks!

    There are direct modifications I've seen for a gameport (the old 15 pin one), I believe, but I haven't seen them in years....Hmmmm. Kinda not worth if you have that adapter tho...

    Yeah, it works great, except that you can't simultaneously hold A and Y together.

    Yeah you can either buy a SNES to USB port connector or buy a whole different controller made for emulation on the computer. I have a different pad that I use, wish I had a USB port connector for my SNES controller though

    Are you talking about the USB to SNES connector or the 15 pin modification thingy? I'm thinking of ordering this today, has anyone had problems with the website in question?
