Not for exotic SFC/SNES controllers

Not for exotic SFC/SNES controllers
It recognized the NTT Data Super Famicom controller (the NDK10, pic attached), and recognizes all of the normal SFC/SNES buttons, but it does not work with the number pad. I assume only a few people have tried connecting this specific controller to a USB adapter, so I'm not too disappointed that it didn't work...I'll probably just take the adapter apart for the parts to reverse-engineer the NDK10.This adapter should work fine with normal SNES/Super Famicom controllers.

First of all, the unit I received was indeed from Mayflash. Always good when the product matches it's advertisement!

So, Ok, I love this thing.

No perceivable lag at all.

DISCLAIMER: Just to clarify: All the lag I speak about here, I am being EXTREMELY critical of the EMULATION. The lag I am speaking about cannot be seen, only felt when played by a SNES fanatic! I am very happy with snes9x...my personal favourite SNES emulator. ...But I love my old SNES games and I know when theres ANY difference from the original, or any fluctuation in performance, no matter how small. However the adapter for sale here is flawless, like a plug that goes into the wall for your bedside light, there is no lag coming from it.

I would attribute peoples lag issues to being emulation issues. A real SNES will always be better but I don't see a problem with the adapter itself. I'm very good at spotting lag, I know when an emulation of an old snes game I played in the 90's is even 1 frame behind here and there.

In this regard snes9x 1.53 in particular, is excellent. ...With frameskip turned OFF and v-sync ON, synchronize to sound OFF, the emulator performs excellently. ...still not as good as my real SNES here, or even my Retro Duo Portable 2.0 also here. There's still that tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny performance loss at very rare times! due to software emulation instead of real life hardware and I can sense it, I can feel it. I'm sure a lot of you can. But that slight lag that happens maybe once or twice a lap in Super Mario Kart is not coming from this joypad adapter, which is perfect. (at least in single player mode). At the moment I only have 1 SNES joypad as I am in the middle of moving house so I can't test 2 player on this adapter. I'll update this review when I have tested that. Anyway...

Setup was easy with windows 8 at least... just plug and play.

Of course the joypad can be used for any game or any emulator, but I had to boot up snes9x with Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, F-Zero, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Super Street Fighter 2 The New Challengers and Mortal Kombat. I can attest to the Hadoken abilities of this adapter combined with sns-005, it was flawless in Street Fighter 2. I kicked arse with Dhalsim, E. Honda, and then in New Challengers, Cammy ;)

Oh yea and my sns-005 worked fine with this adapter. Which is great.

So in brief, aside from the joypad compatibility problems that other people have experienced, I think peoples complaints of lag have been from the emulation aspect, because I certainly don't "feel" any lag with this device at all. So don't worry and enjoy! :)

Bye!

After reading some reviews, I was a little hesitant on purchasing this. Some reviewers said it didn't work with their emulators, Mac, didn't recognize 2 players at once, didn't recognize the controller at all, etc. However, after receiving the adapter, I can say that yes, this does indeed work, and it works perfectly.

I plugged this in my Mac on OSX and booted the emulator SNES9x. Before starting any ROM, I went to Config and then Configure Controllers. From there, I clicked on each button for Player 1 and pushed each button corresponding to those on the controller. After doing this with every button, I checked my work by pushing each button on the controller and saw that each corresponding button lit-up after being pressed. I then did this for controller 2. From there, I loaded up a few different ROMs testing 'em out. All of them were a success and even 2-person multiplayer worked simultaneously! I then did the exact same process on my PC that's running XP and, again, success.

Just a heads up, before purchasing, I read the top reviewers review and want to make note that I too am using original SNES controllers that are model SNS-102. I haven't tested out SNS-005s, but I suggest that those having trouble try and find some SNS-102 controllers, hopefully that'll fix any problems you are experiencing.

Overall, it worked on Mac, PC, 2 players simultaneously, for multiple games I've tested so far, didn't have to install any drivers or software and I'm very satisfied with the purchase. I HIGHLY suggest this to anyone interested in it. Having had such a good experience with this Mayflash device, I will most likely be purchasing similar USB adapters, but for the GC and N64. Thanks Mayflash!

I ordered this so my wife and I could play some older games with the controller they were meant to be played with. Maybe it’s crazy, but just us playing Mario 3 from all stars put a smile on both of our faces. I used it on a PS3 running retroarch and figured I might have to do some setup with the PS3 controller. This actually just works on the PS3 and the buttons are mapped like they would be on a snes (A is yes B is no) which I was impressed with.

I do have to tinker with retroarch because the input delay is noticeable, but I don’t believe it is because of this adapter. You can find comparisons of retroarch vs snes mini and retroarch has more input lag. If I can’t get the input lag better in retroarch then I’ll probably switch to a HTPC setup. The controller also plug and played on my windows machines. I’m also excited to try some indie games using a snes controller.

Guter Adapter zum fairen Preis. Er funktioniert und wird von der Hardware gleich erkannt. Beide Joypads funktionieren wunderbar und es gibt nichts zu meckern. Wie man sieht, habe ich die Ports markiert, denn man weiss sonst nicht an welchem Anschluss Player 1 kommt. Also: Kaufen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfetto per gli emulatori
Reviewed in Italy on March 7, 2017
L'ho comprato per giocare con gli emulatori su un mini pc Android. Funziona perfettamene con tutti gli emu che prevedono l'utilizzo di un pad fisico sia utilizzando 3 diversi pad originali che un arcade stick per snes della Halken. Riconosce i due pad collegati simultaneamente e si puó tranquillamente giocare in 2, insomma, fa tutto ció che dovrebbe fare (nel caso dell'arcade stick anche si piú, visto che sulla confezione specifica che i pad non originali potrebberó non funzionare correttamente). Pienamente soddisfatto

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Perfect
Reviewed in Canada on May 12, 2015
Fantastic adapter. There is no noticeable latency for me and it just worked perfectly the moment I plugged it in. I didn't have any incompatibility with all four of my SNES controllers and ASCII Pad with turbo fire (which works flawlessly)! If you won't settle for anything less than the genuine SNES controller, this is the adapter for you. The only little weird thing is that the controller doesn't have markings for which side is Player 1 and Player 2. It took me about 20 seconds to figure it out and I just applied some little stickers for future reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funciona de maravilla en Linux (Ubuntu)
Reviewed in Spain on August 21, 2016
Funcionó de maravilla en mi Ubuntu 16.04, que es donde quiero jugar con él. Lo detecta bien el jstest-gtk, y con un emulador como higan la experiencia con juegos de SuperNintendo es inmejorable (y con NES o GB/GBA excelente). No lo he probado con dos mandos porque solamente tengo uno ahora mismo, pero ambos puertos se detectan bien como js1/js2 (he probado a enchufar el mando en ambos puertos).
