they show the specs in the bottom and im sure u guys can figure out how to impiment it to use in the first controller. It also doesnt require any programing so it should work fine and no external power source.

Note* sorry for the bad grammer and as u see i was an animator and have no idea what to do with this electronic stuff
I think this is the compliment of what we want. If I understand this correctly this device allows folks to provide a 15 Pin gameport to a PC by plugging it into a USB port on their PC.

We want/need something that allows a USB gamepad to be plugged into a 15Pin gamepad port.
