Hi. I need something that can convert a PlayStation controller to a PC port (via USB port, Gameport, etc...). I saw the Kiki Joy that Soyo makes and it looks nice. Can anyone find REALLY cheap prices for any converter?

Thnaxs :D

the cheapest way is to make your own like I did. Also have to download Dpadpro but its the same prog. That the retail kits use anyhow (ya know USB adaptors and such). THeir is a USB version to but its more involved if your not fluent in electronics it can be bad Voodoo. This one is easy. Any probs with it let me know i have built many so far.

PS. One tip, use a real genuine PS paddle made by sony. The cheapo ones dont always work. Been there done that. Have fun.:t

I've seen the PS/PS2 Controller USB adapters go for less than $10 at certain electronic & game stores. You might want to try a local Best Buy, Gamestop, Electronics Boutique, etc. You can try ebay too. Some of the adapters go by the name of "PS Joy" and such. I got mine from ebay a long while ago for about $8 and it supports both PS/PS2 and N64 controllers.
