anything that raphnet-tech.com sells. i have bought and used several different adapters from him. they work great.
I wrote Raphnet the same day you posted this because of how much you like his products, and haven't heard back almost 2-weeks later. I guess he's not getting my money...
Also, I updated my original post: those PS1/PS2 adapters DON'T work with the very first non-dualshock (i.e. no analog sticks) Playstation 1 controllers.

@Dochartaigh yeah his email filters too much. Some people can get a hold of him and some cant. I was one of the lucky ones. I have a buddy who cant.

And I'm using Gmail, like the BIGGEST email site in the entire history of mankind... ;)

I'm a Lycos man myself. Our messages never get filtered. However, they are delivered over the phone as raw fax tones, so there is a trade off.

Hi! I have a question regarding the HDE PS PS2 USB adaptor. In the retropie frontend it can see and I have successfully configured 2 original PS1 controllers, yet in any game (CTR as an example) it will only see 1. I am sure there must be a driver or setting I have missed but apologies I am stumped! I have tried all 4 of Pi's USB ports to see if they (don't) play nice with multitap across ports etc, but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated- cheers

Edit: the mayflash 3 in one adapter works. I also have tomee snes adapters that work well with the pi. -
I know this topic is quite old, but for the sake of completeness you might also be interested in the ControlBlock for connecting original controllers to the Raspberry Pi. It was designed specifically for that use case and integrates very well with RetroPie. See https://blog.petrockblock.com/controlblock/ for more details.

@Watkins581 did you ever get this figured out? If not did you change the retroarch core options to switch between standard and analog controller for player 2?

@edmaul69 I know I am beating a dead horse at this moment, so forgive me all about this one. Has anyone been able to confirm the Raphnet products for connecting original/authentic NES and SNES controllers actually work on Raspberry Pi 3/Retropie? About to go down the rabbit hole of my first ever build and need exactly that, a pair of NES controllers and SNES controllers connected to the same Pie board at once. Understanding that I could not utilize both pairs of controllers at the same time, I am trying to minimize wear and tear of connecting/disconnect controllers each time a player is switching between NES and SNES games.

Do not know about the Raphnet gadgets. But the GamepadBlock has recently become an alternative for connecting arcade and original game controllers including NES and SNES controllers. Tested with RetroPie!
