As the title says is it possible?
The Why? comes down to just having some use to an old DB9 male to female cable that we have here at home and used to be used with an old dvd player that could play NES games and its controllers used the DB9 conenctor.
I just though that would it be possible to transmit a USB 2 or USB 3 (because the number of wires match) over the cable? My basic knowledge leads me assume that I would need a USB Male to DB9 Male and a DB9 Female to USB Female converter of some kind.
I'll find the cable and take a pic of and add it to this post later.
I hope someone can explain a solution to me in simple terms as I'm not that too knowledgable when it comes to electronics. Thanks!
Edit: Here's the pictures of the cable and a torn down of one end of it
