I thought we were talking about the PSX to USB adaptors. Or are we just talking about analog/digital joysticks in general?

We are talking about interfaces that can accept the raw input of particular kind of joystick and make it emulate, through intelligent hardware, the function of a plurality of other dissimilar joysticks at the command of the user.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for one to appear  :).  No impact on the 49-ways one way or the other.

Then everything I told you is probably irrelevent. I don't know if there are joysticks out there are other devices out there that act like that, but even if there are they probably aren't anything like the GP-Wiz49. At best you'll probably find analog->8way, and it will be pretty unplayable in games the were built for digital input. The GP-Wiz49 is the only device I know of designed to make a specific joystick (3 actually, right?) act like 7 other joysticks and perform like it isn't just an ugly hack.
