All NES and SNES use the same synchronous serial protocol, clocked from
the computer's side (and thus timing insensitive). To allow up to 5 NES
-and/or SNES gamepads connected to the parallel port at once, the output
-lines of the parallel port are shared, while one of 5 available input lines
-is assigned to each gamepad.

This protocol is handled by the gamecon.c driver, so that's the one

The main problem with PC parallel ports is that they don't have +5V power
source on any of their pins. So, if you want a reliable source of power
either a NES or NES clone and will work with this connection. SNES gamepads
also use 5 wires, but have more buttons. They will work as well, of course.

The exact type of the PSX controller type is autoprobed when used so
hot swapping should work (but is not recomended).
