I'm not a big electronics whiz or anything, but I am able to solder! Hehe...ok, here's what I want to do. I want to buy a box which outputs to the computer via parallel which has inputs for several kinds of console gamepads for the ultimate emulation experience. I'm thinking 2-4 NES inputs, 2-4 SNES inputs, 2-4 Atari/Genesis inputs, 2-4 N64 inputs, 2-4 PSX inputs...whatever emulator can run, I wanna be able to hook a controller up. The only problem here is that I have no idea what I need or how possible this is. I could build a 2 NES / 2 SNES box easily, but why stop there? Anyone know if there are any plans for such a thing floating on the net? If not, anyone have any clue to help a newbie here?
