You are right. I looked at them again last night and came to the same conclusion: they make no sense.
Instead, I’ve used yours (thanks for sharing this!) and went testing. Unfortunately it had gotten rather late by then and the driver wouldn’t install properly (different kernel version). When I installed the right headers etc, my SD card was full (only 4Gb to experiment with).
To cut a long story short: it will take some more time for me to test the adapter.

Should it work, it can be used with many emulators I guess as UAE4ALL2 was the only problematic one so far. Now that you found out it works when it’s started manually, it’s a very good (temporary) workaround.
Hope Mame works with your adapter as well by the way, that is another emulator that I’d be using often. Problem is that ‘our’ joysticks only have one button and Mame games often use more..
I was thinking it would also be nice to be able to ‘break out’ the GPIO pins using the IDE cable ending in a contra IDE adapter and then have multiple adapters like the ones you have soldered for different controller types.
