As an example and this is fact looking at the Atari pinout.
C16 Pin 7 = Ground
Atari Pin 7 = +5V
C16 Pin 8 = Select
Atari Pin 8 = Ground
Sega Master System pads are almost correct, but Ground is on pin 8 which is Select on C16 and C16 pin 7 Ground is not connected on Master System pad.
Sega Meagdrive pad, Select and Ground are around the wrong way to C16. If anything I was stupid to use this as it does a lot more adding buttons B & C even if I got away with it for years.
You can already see how 9pin pads from different computers or consoles are not correct in the wiring.
NES pin 1 = +5v, on C16 pin 1 is UP.
If I'm not mistaken the NES Advantage will need some special hardware in the adapter to work with a C16. There is no Up, Down, Left, Right, Fire ect...

I better add, yes you could convert a NES Advantage to work as a C64 joystick in theory but you would need to know exactly what your doing. Maybe a new board would be needed with the layout of how a C64 joystick is wired up.
How about a C16 or a Plus/4 case but it plugs into your PC via USB.
The keyboard and joy ports all work and you control Yape with this USB C16 or Plus/4 Keyboard just as if it was the real thing. You would never kill a C16 or Plus4 again YEAH!
