For everyone having issues with their controllers I have found something interesting you should try first. I have many Super Nintendo controllers and have found that some work, some don't. On the back of each controller you will find the model number. The most common is the SNS-005. The SNS-102 is the controller that came with the smaller edition Super Nintendo. I also have the aftermarket Super Pad by Performance.

What I have found after testing the different controllers is that the SNS-005 controllers are hit or miss. I have one SNS-005 controller that only the B button works yet the other two I tested work perfect. I have found the SNS-102 works fine as does the Super pad. I have no idea why some refuse to work but I can understand your frustrations because the same happened to me.

Defiantly try out the different controllers that you have lying around because if one doesn't work chances are the others you have will. The first controller that I plugged in didn't work and immediately I thought I was out eleven dollars. My heart sunk as I tried different usb ports and searched for a driver. Then I jumped up with joy as the next controller I tried worked! Hope this helps guys, feel free to ask any questions. This adapter in my opinion is so well worth the money for any SNES collector because there is nothing like having an actual SNES controller in your hand while you play. It totally changes the whole experience.

One last thing, I have found the best way to play Super Nintendo with people over the internet. You need to download and install a program called ZBattle.Net. Also you must Google ZSNES Version 1.36 since it is the most common used even though its not the latest. Once you have both open ZBattle and click File, Options and give the location of your ZSNES application. Do the same for the games. After hitting OK go to File and click Connect. You will see people playing SNES in different servers. Create your own or find someone who is hosting a game. The game they are hosting will download really quick and then start. It opens up ZSNES and you are ready to play. If it keeps saying its waiting for Host click the cancel button then uncheck "allow udp connection" and then hit either connect to server or create server. Make sure you are joining someone with the same version 1.36 SNES and if your are hosting a server be sure to list that 1.36 is the version you are using. While in ZSNES hit the "T" key to type to who you are playing with. Good luck guys! If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will try to respond. Long Live The Super Nintendo! (The greatest console of all time!)

I can happily confirm that this works on my Windows 7 64 bit machine on the ZSNES emulator.

You just have to configure it correctly in ZSNES's settings.

Time for some Super Mario World! Cheers!

I wanted to get my snes out of my room and this allowed me to use the original controllers with my computer. Both controllers are immediatly recognized and work right away in snes9x, fceux, and vba with a quick remaping. Highly recomended, now I have no need for the old consoles.

the usb length is about 18" but since I have the snes extensions It's not a problem for me.
