For my money, you cant go wrong with this guy.

I bought one of these this year, the price is in canadian dollars so in UKP works out good value. The adapter you see on the site contains its own eprom which enables it to be auto-recognised at bootup time in Win 7/8, so you can simply load your emulator (even works with Mame) and just play. Easy.

When you click 'buy' it takes you to this guys ebay listings, and I was cheeky and made him a 'best offer' less than his asking price. He accepted! A real bargain and a top quality bit of kit.
