Question about Joysticks

My strongest FIRST memories, and the teams that leave the biggest impact on me, are teams that seem like they have every reason to give up, but never do. - Chris is me [more]

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.
