only one cheap and easy solution for you my friend.

hack a cheap psx pad($5 onces are good).

then get usb converter,dreamcast converter,x-box converter.that all..hacking psx pad is less then nothing so i would say take my advise.i am doin same and i know its easier then any other way to connect many systems.
