Actually there are cables on the market that may can link the Play Station Controllers to the USB port.

The Price tag runs for about $1,500.00 and is available in montego bay.

my friend did it for me once, but he cut the p2 controller and got an old printer connection and solder both of them togther and then we used special software to configure it via windows, soldering was a ***** though, you have to be really good at it and when which wires to connect to which

That is not necessary...The one I know you plug the PS control in it and then plug it in your USB port.

I think I'll go by kevin and see if I can get a pic of it.

yes there is such a thing - I have seen it with my own eyes. I have one. IT connects to the USB port and shows up as a "Game controller" on windows. You can uses it to play GTA# as well as a few other games and emus.

mine is a one player. But Xaser has a 2 player version but I still don't know where he got it or mine.

Sometimes it's better to do stuff yourself so here is a site that should help anyone who wants to MOD their own PSX controller.

Really cool site ropy....

I prefer to just buy it though...

The best site online I think for it is www.lik-sang.com

This is one of the USB connectors... it does both PS and N64
