Sega Genny to Parallel port project?

[S1500]

I saw this while looking for pinouts for TI-99/4A stuff. This project is for wiring a Genesis controller for use with a computer's parallel port + a homebrew driver. Found this URL:

Don't worry. Even though it's a Russian site, so far no credit cards have been taken from me.

 

Before I start whipping out the soldering iron, I would love to hear if anyone else has done this. This looks like a fun rainy day project, ie a sorta-kinda maybe Stelladaptor, but not USB, and with a Genny controller.

You can most likely use the NTPad driver like what was used for the Playstation adapters, when they were parallel.

 

FYI, the most responsive adapter I ever had, ever, in terms of lag, happened to be a Playstation to Parallel port adapter. This shall be a very nice project if you get it running, as I feel the 6 button genny controllers are a tad better than the psx controllers.

I'm going to go look in my boxes of parts, see if I can get it to work.

 

pinouts.ru is a great site, I refer to it almost daily.
