Re: using a ps2 controller
I haven't done it personally, but it might be an interesting project to decode the signal from the controller with a microcontroller or something so that you don't have to modify it.

I was investigating the use of a game console controller a few weeks ago and came across this one for psx:

It doesn't seem too hard to do.
