Well as the topic says i am trying to find out how i would be able to mod a NES/SNES controller to work on my xbox..

I just got a really nice NES emulator for my xbox, and was thinking how cool would it be if i could somehow get to use the original NES controller to play the roms..

Anyone have any links/idas/or suggestions ?

I'm assuming it wont be as simple as just ripping out a calbe and soldering a xbox cable to the controller..

Any help is good help

Thanks guys

Well i know nothing about electronics, but i've seen some converters for a USB controller to Xbox, and i know a there are websites where they tell you how to mod your SNES controller to USB, so maybe... you could do something with that.
The problem i see is that to use the SNES-USB controller in the computer some kind of "home-made" drivers are needed, and i'm not quite sure if you could use it in your xbox.

Another thing is that the manual that i know to connet the SNES controller to pc is in Spanish, but i remeber to see some translation in the net, so try to use google for it.
