If you were really determined to get this to work, and didn't want to open up the joystick, you could probably use a PIC to convert the RS232 or USB into plain analog signals that you need for the joystick port.

The rules say that you can't have a 'portable computing device' connected to the joystick port, but I think that that's supposed to mean a PDA or laptop.
