Yes. Using an adapter to connect a USB joystick to the OI will not work, because the protocol is not what the OI uses. (Also, I think that the adapter you're picturing converts from game port to USB, not the other way around.) The most efficient way to connect a USB joystick to the OI would be to open it up and wire the potentiometers and switches to a 15-pin connector.
