For around $20 you can take your old NES gamepad and turn it into a USB powered gamepad for use on your PC or Mac with your favorite emulator with the help of this handy guide from Joystiq.

It requires taking apart the controller and soldering wires though, so if you aren’t a do-it-yourselfer, buy the finished product for only a few bucks more.
