Give this one a read, and you can do it yourself. I would try this, but I only have one PSX controler, and I have a Gravis Gamepad Pro, and it works just fine, just missing the analogue sticks.

PSX Controller Conversion

I did myselft a conversion to plug my psx controller to the parallel port.
it works great,the analog wokrs and it only misses the force feedback.ill post later some more info for you.

EDIT: I just found out my thread about making the conversion. The best thing of my mod, is you dont have to cut your controller cable.

Actually, i think ill create a Tutorial on "How to make your PSX pad work on PC, through parallel port without any cutting", maybe too long title, but lets see....

This is way better than rigging something up. I just got one last weekend and it is working perfectly.

It's only 25 bucks and even the analog works. On win2k it is fully plug and play as well, I didn't have to do a single thing other than plug it in, reboot, and configure ePSXe for the buttons.

does it have rumble/vibration? (whatever you want to call it<)
