Hi, i wanted to know if there is any way of actually transforming a Snes,PS1,N64,Game Pad/Controler or even maybe game cube into a nes controler?

SNES pad you just need to lop off the SNES end and replace it with a NES end, as they use the same protocol.

The others will require either a microcontroller to translate their output to SNES/NES signals, or to have their original circuitry removed and replaced with the logic of a SNES pad.

So my best guess would be to just rip a NES controller and Fit it in a other controller and cut the board to fit it to the other controler.

dont need to sacrifice a NES controller to do so. Get some Shift regulators from Digi Key. Part number 296-2040-5-ND. Use it just like the IC in the regular controllers. (thx to Ben for the info)
