SNES to Parallel Port

Step 3 Attach everything else

The yellow/clock wire connects to pin 2, the orange/latch wire connects to pin 3, the red/data wire connects to pin 10, and the brown/ground wire connects to pin 18 (if you are powering trough the parallel port).

is it possible to just connect the snes wires straight to USB wires

all i noe is that:
Black(USB) = Brown(SNES)
Red(USB) = White(SNES)

where do i connect the other wires that are left on the SNES controller.
If you noe please email me at [e-mail]

please reply ASAP

THNX!

No, you can't just connect the SNES wires to the USB wires. Well, except for the 2 that you listed that only provide power to the controller. The other wires need to be hooked up to the parallel port like I described. If you want to use USB you need to add some more complex circuitry (like a USB chip), which would be a whole other tutorial.

I have a guide on how to do a USB one. http://www.instructables.com/id/USB_control_pad_hack/

I'll do ya one better. They make these things called USB>LPT adapters. Most all of them use the PL-2305H USB>1284 bridge, which supports all of the pins from a parallel port.

Would there be a memory caching issue with that?

[dudeishfish]

Would it be possible to do the wiring straight into a parallel-usb wire?

Could you hook the controller up via serial port?

[willrandship]

If you look into PPJoy, which he is using, there is a way to hook them up through serial, but it would require some sort of microcontroller, like arduino. If you go that route you're better off trying to make a modification to this project. That will use key presses, which you set as keys in emulator. Let me guess, you have a laptop that has no parallel?

[jitinchigo]

umm.. THNX do you know where i can get such chips and how to solder the few wires of an Snes to the chip? if so could you make a tutorial on that it would greatly be appreciated!

[AlternateLives]

I have no idea where you can buy them outright, but I am sure you can buy a cheap controller (or other USB device) and gut the chip out.
