Looks like RetroUSB doesn't do this model of adapter anymore but I would love to get one of these! Does anyone have one of these to sell?

I haven't tried the Zapper with it — I don't know if it would work or not. But four player definitely works.

Does your fourscore work with the zapper as well, and have you tried 4 player?

You'll have to check with RetroZone for the definitive answer to that one.

I am really enthusiastic about the RetroZone FourScore adapter (as you can see by my review) -- I use it very frequently to play NES games with FCEU. I've had no trouble with it at all with Windows 2000 or Windows XP -- works perfectly. I haven't tried the four-player functionality yet (I have tried two player though), but it seems to work like this: The entire FourScore unit looks to Windows like a game pad called "Retr." The pad has 32 "buttons" -- each controller has eight (U,D,L,R,Sel,Start,B,A), and there are four controllers. So you can assign the buttons of each controller to do whatever you want in any program. An emulator would have to support 4 controller inputs -- then you would simply assign the correct buttons for each Retrozone-connected controller to the virtual player 1-4 inputs and you'd be good to go. I hope that explanation isn't too confusing. All I know is that it works really well for me. Good luck! Hey Jim, thanks for the comment.

I wanted to read a review before spending the $60 that retrozone was asking and wasn't particularly successful finding people that had used a converted old-school NES controller. Any idea if this would work with Windows XP, and how do games recognize the Four Score to play 4-player? I'm glad to see that someone beat me to the punch.
