Might send him a PM to see if that is something he still has to offer.

There is a Master Converter list thread stickied at the top of this forum that might help you some.  Interesting forum, BTW, and I believe Snaake also frequents that one, too.

Just use the A-Series Hack.  It is just as easy as any of the encoders I've seen.  Either use separate wires like in my tutorial or just grab a Hard Drive or Floppy Cable and plug it into the Ribbon Terminal.

Wow, that's really cool. I'd check out the links you other guys provided too, but my internet connection is being a little stubborn right now, so the pages won't show up. If I did use playstation controller hacks, I'd probably go with some nice and cheap third party controllers. It doesn't matter if they have really poor exterior design or inadiquet rumble, since I'd only be using the circuit boards and cables anyway. :P

But another big question is how to hook things up so that I won't have to re-wire everthing or flip 20 something switches every time I want to go from PC mode to Playstation mode.

How about hacking a Playstation pad and using a convertor so that when you want to run it on a PC you just have to plug it in to the convertor and it will go straight into the USB port, costs around
