Connects a Super Nintendo controller to the user port of supported Commodore computers for software written to read its serial protocol.

TexElec listed the adapter at USD 14.99 and in stock with backordering enabled on 2026-07-30. Most supported machines use the supplied power jumper. Some PET systems do not provide user-port power and need 5 V from the cassette port or an external source; high-current third-party controllers should also use external power because the user port is rated for 100 mA.

Connects as many as eight standard SNES controllers to a Commodore 64 or 128 through its two control ports.

Poly.play listed the adapter at EUR 45 but marked it out of stock on 2026-07-30. Controllers are separate; the store's current third-party SNES pad is a commodity accessory and remains folded into this record. Poly.play's short description incorrectly says user port, while the linked original wiring document and C64 OS technical explanation both say that SuperPad64 occupies the two control ports and leaves the user port free. Confirm the supplied connector arrangement with the seller before ordering a future production run.

A modified SNES-style controller with a nine-pin Commodore plug and a software-read serial button protocol.

Poly.play listed the stand-alone controller at EUR 15 and the game-and-controller edition at EUR 35, but both were out of stock on 2026-07-30. The linked Poly.play technical wiki returned 404 and then returned the same 404 after the required 60-second retry; the dead URL is recorded in the research registry.
