What emulators support SNES joypads
and what adapter do they use?
Emulators that support SNES joypads
The following emulators support the use of SNES joypads, without the need for utilities such as SNESKey or Direct Pad Pro
| NeoDANJI Neo-Geo system emulator. Supports 2 SNES joypads using the SNESKey adapter. Supports LPT 1 only. |

| SNES9x: Super Nintendo emulator. Supports up to 6 (?) SNES joypads using the SNESPro adapter. Only version 0.96 supports SNES joypads. It seems to have been dropped in later versions.
