I've never seen a Game Port to USB converter. What use would that be? Use a USB hub or USB card to run your device?

Sorry Clown...me bad...still never seen one. I have to go to FRY's sometime next week...I'll look if you want me too. They all all types of connectors and converters there.

One thaught...have you tried the Belkin Webiste? They have those USB External Devices that convert PCI, SERIAL, PAR...etc They cost an arm and a leg but they may contain Game Port?

Clown, In most cases, that adapter comes with the gamepad, they're hard to find by them selfs. You might want to just go to a 'puter store and ask the service guys if they one lying around.

What did you do to get kicked out...I hope it wasn't asking a question? If it was I sure the hell would never go back again.
