I have this unusual plug one end fits into the joypad/controller port of my NES the other end is a male plug with 25 pins, anybody happens to know what this can be used for?

My suspicions are..............zilch,I have no idea whatsoever as I only just got my NES,maybe conectivity to another NES?? Its just a stab in the dark
(the best kind Laughing ) but more than likely,wrong Sad

hi tomz, does it actually plug into the controller port - or does a controller plug into it?

the only thing i can think that it is - is a nes control pad to PC parallel port adapter - so you could use your NES control pad with PC emulators...

It plugs into the joypad controller port and the other end is the 25 pin male, Im starting to think that it may be a an addon like a steering wheel controller plug,in between NES and Wheel.

So its a case of 2 male plugs one definately into controller port of NES the other....a mystery at this time Confused
