SNES usb controller adapter


Has anyone seen/have anything like this:

Would it work for Linux with something like ZSNES because I would be very interested in buying it if it's legitimate.

Well, I dunno how well Znes works, so you may have to write drivers.
But it probably will.
Wait for some guru's advice first, though.

I use myself a PSX to PC (USB) adapter and it works pretty well with everything in Linux, from emulators to mplayer. Since I believe those devices works similarly, my guess is... yes, it "could" work

Where did you get the adapter? I have PSX controllers too, so I guess that could work too. Do you have a link? Thanks.

I bought it in a local store in Sweden:

http://www.clasohlson.se/shop/store/...3A48+AM#q12588

if you scroll down you will see a product called "PSX till USB-adapter". It's made by Rockfire and I got that one a really long time ago, so chances are that they even have a newer, fancier product around . I think it's called PSX Bridge, if that's of any help...

With that adapter you even get Force Feed back, which by the way, I could never get to work under Linux (the pad works wonders though).
