Hi all
I'm currently using a MS Sidewinder or Gravis Xterminator to play FIFA 2003. I've seen all the posts about people using PS2 pads to play PC games, and I've found the drivers etc from aldostools, but how do I connect the pad to the PC?

I assume I need an adaptor from PS Pad socket to either USB or gameport, so does anyone know where to get them or how to make their own?

Please someone help me, you're usually all so helpful!

Thanks

As far as the drivers go, I found NTPad XP 2.01 at www.aldostools.com (http://www.aldostools.com) which apparently works for both analogue sticks.

What do I look for on ebay? PS2 to USB connector I assume.

do a search for "playstation pc" there is a guy on there that is selling them for 12.99 plus postage - I can sell you my one (which is the same) for £12 incl. postage - its virtually new and I'm sellin it because I primarily brought it for my laptop and for some reason it doesn't seem to work whereas on my desktop it works fine....
