No, I don't think that'll help. You'll run into the same problem as trying to use USB in the first place, and you'll find that USB-to-serial converters work in the wrong direction for what you want.

I don't know if this pinout will work, but i'm gunna take a nice little trip to radio shaq. and when i get back we'll find out.
The 15-pin connection in that document is a 15-pin high-density connector like a VGA video connector, and it's still RS-232 serial. It isn't compatible in any way with a 15-pin game port connector.
