I've found that a good way to test nintendo interfaces is by "jimmy rigging" a connection first

if you go to radio shack and get the crimp type parallel port connectors you can take those pins, crimp them to a wire and shove the pin into the appropriate hole at the end of your nes cable....
since the dpp interface dosen't require all the pins on the parallel port, you'll have plenty of extra to go ahead and wire it to the parallel port adapter as well....
i've used this method several times and it's harmless to the controller and teh pins are usually just the right size to where they fit into the holes snuggly

jsut a thought before you invest your tiem and money into gettin proper nes extension cables


: Big thanks to Howard for emailing me the DPP info with the schematics for wiring up an NES pad.

: Well kids I'm actually gonna try this, the only thing that's stopping me now is trying to find 2 NES extension cables cause I don't wanna cut up the 2 PowerGloves that I have.

: If this works I plan on building a dual NES interface through the parallel port and then using the PowerGloves as controlers for light gun games, I'll let everyone know how it works out. . .
