5.0 out of 5 stars
For All the Old School Games,
By A.J. Dill (Jackson, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Super Nintendo Smartjoy SNES PC USB Controller Adapter Converter (Video Game)
If you played the original SNES system, you will love this item. It works perfectly fine with my emulator, which is Snes9x. Using the old controller brings back great memories. The adapter is very sturdy and does not get hot. I personally did not have any problems with using my save and load hotkeys on my keyboard.
The only thing I might complain about is the cord is a little short. It is no problem for any one who is playing games on their main computer. If you like to hook up you computer with the big TV though, then you might have to skoot up the couch a little bit. Other than that, everything is great. I highly suggest you buy this if you want the old fashion feel.

This adapter and the SNES controller arrived super fast after I ordered them. It works great with Snes9x on my mac. Unfortunately, my friends play with it more than I do.

This review is from: Super Nintendo Smartjoy SNES PC USB Controller Adapter Converter (Video Game)
This very easily could have been a bad unit, I'm unsure, and unless someone else post results I will remain unsure.
The A,B,X,Y,L,R, Start and Select buttons worked perfectly, and it did read the cross pad, just not properly. Instead of registering the cross pad as buttons, it actually registered as a Joystick, not necessarily a problem in and of itself. The problem came in the fact that the right and down buttons were always active. A controller at rest on the X or Y axis regitered 1, left and up registered 0, and actually pushing right or down registered a 3. Traditionally rest should have been 0, left or up should be -1 and right or down should be 1 on the respective axis. As a result this item is unusable on both ZSNES and SNES9x on which I have tried to use it. I concede that I may have gotten a bad one, in which case it's just bad QC. I got mine in a manner that's nonreturnable, so I'm going to open mine up and see if there's any resistors or POTs I can adjust. This is something I as a tech might be able to do, though unlikely based on most modern manufacturing practices, but something the public at large should not have to deal with. ----------------------- Additional Edit added after original post. I've played with this a bit more on other operating systems. It worked great with Linux. The above listed screwed up button pressed values are still there, but operating systems other than OS X seem to deal with it better (well - I still haven't tried Windows). I'm increasing the star rating, but since the X/Y axis readings are still outside the expected norm I'm only increasing it a little. I currently use a Wireless Logitech PS2 control on my Mac using a Gamecube PS2 XBOX Controller to PC USB Adapter 3in1. It doesn't get much better than that, the above reviewed adapter is currently sitting on a shelf, but I may utilize it in the future on a MythTV box or something. Of course I'll probably just stick with PS2 controls and buy more 3in1's.
