Floopy Parallel port

[AF]

Ok how would I go about making a computer 'pretend' to be a floppy drive to whatever's plugged on the other end of a parallel port cable? I knwo its possible but googles full of pages on how to add floppy drives to virtual machines.

Operating systems involved?

Why parallel? You could do the same thing via serial could you not?

[AF]

No because the hardware on the other end of the cable has 2 parallel ports.

On one end would be a PC most likely windows XP, on the other end is a snes.

[Forboding Angel]

Oh.

You need a go<->between interface, and I'm not sure what to tell you there.

But an snes? Why not just use snes9x and get everything else from TPB?

[AF]

because snes9x and other snes emulators dont come with real snes controllers

[Forboding Angel]

Oh that's all you want to do?

Sorry for that. Just use this little gadget. I knew I'd seen them somewhere.

Pipe the output to lpt1...

I'd just buy an ordinary SNES to what ever adapter. Actually, I'd get a PS2 pad and a USB adapter, because the SNES pad is pretty much useless for everything else.

on linux, you could set up a creative parallel port interfacing program ^__^
