| I got a new computer, and it has XP. First thing that poped into my mind was to make a SNES controller work on the PC! So I took one of my many many SNES controllers, and fired up google to look for some tutorials. I found this one here: SNES Controller to PC. It seemed to look pretty good. I then looked up a diagram of a parallel port, and found this: Parallel Port Diagram I hooked everything up, checking to make sure stuff worked along the way. I plugged it into my computers parallel port, and installed it all using the programs mentioned on that first website. However, I am running into some problems. I need to know the I/O address of my parallel port  . I have no clue how to go about doing this, and I need some assistance.If someone can point me in the direction (not google  ) of how to figure out the address that would be awesome! I really would love to use this controller on my PC .Thank you. |

| Open Device Manager, find your parallel port, right click, choose Properties, and click the Resources tab. (That's how you do it in Win98/2K, anyway...I don't use XP, it might be somewhat different) |

| XP should be the same way. A lot of the drivers for these don't work with XP though, so watch out. | |||

Thats what I have been checking out is the device manager. It has I/O of 372 (I think. It's something like that). Either way, the driver isn't working . I emailed the guy who made the guide on how to make this, and I am just waiting for a reply.It was the only tutorial I could find that said the controller would work for ZSNES. Thanks guys . |

| You know you could shell out $20 and get a SNES-USB converter that works with the generic gamepad driver. [Big Stretchy Link] (edited by HyperHacker on 07-26-05 12:39 PM) |

| i used a program called PPjoy (Parallel Port joystick) and i've connected a genesis, NES, and playstation controller through it and it worked perfectly. I don't know where the setup file is anymore because the site is down, but you could probably find it if you use google. |
