I have seen SNES to parallel port adaptors on the internet, but they look particularly flimsy.
I was wondering if there are ones that exist with housed enclosures or even USB support, so all I have to do is plug a SNES pad into the adaptor and bingo, it will run with ZSNES. The Microsoft sidewinder is OK, but I prefer the feel of the original pad, and I have plenty of them at home.
Any comments, ideas on where to purchase such items greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You can just buy a cheap pc controller, you know the one that look exactly like a snes contoler. That way, you don't have to buy a adapter.

the original white game pads are EXACTLY like the SNES controller, i forget the brand but I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about...I think it was Gravis that made it.
