It looks fine. As long as no wires are messed up on the inside, it should be cool.

Err... break the rest of it open. Look for broken wires. Solder back.

Or even better, go to the local thrift shop and pick up another working zapper. The shop near my house always seems to have some of the zappers, and usually has other assorted NES junk hidden in different parts of the store as well. If youre getting desperate you could PM me and I might be able to get one for you.
Emulation isn't accurate. There is no substitute for real hardware!

Just replace the cable, you could grab one off of a nes controller

A normal NES controller would only have the clock, data, latch, 5v, and gnd. There are other signals for the lightgun

Oh yeah, forgot that the light gun uses the other 2 data lines.
