Im just ganna go with what snakkke told me a while ago and go with the Playstation controler and get the adapter to dreamcast so u get the best of both worlds.

Toilet just gave you a couple links in your last post (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=2122)
Did you just not see them or something?  I have went to both sites and both apparently are selling adapter devices like you asked for.

SOLDERING, it's called soldering....

Did you try a google search?
http://www.google.com/search?q=soldering+playstation+gamepads (http://www.google.com/search?q=soldering+playstation+gamepads)

Did you check out some of the desktop controllers in the BYOAC faq examples section?
http://www.arcadecontrols.com/arcade_examples.php (http://www.arcadecontrols.com/arcade_examples.php)

Should be plenty of reading material for you to get started...

best of luck...

Look for the Original Playstation joypad.
The very first one that they made.
Look at the back of the controllers.
Look for a alphabet letters such as (H).
These letters represent when these control were made.
The earlier one doesn't have the BLACK STUFF on it, so you can solder on them.
You can fine these Original Playstation joypad at you local buy and sell used store. (Funcoland) or (GAMEZONE)
Look for letter (H) or any letters before (H). ;D ;D ;D
