You want to hack a DC pad to work on a PC?  Just get a trio-linker plus

Heh, good luck.  It's a standard serial connection, which is easy to physically interface with.  The protocol, however, reads a lot like stereo instructions.  The lcd vmu complicates things a ton.  The only protocol I've seen more complex than this one is the psx. 


Btw, you guys should really check the software forum once in a while... that's where real progress in such projects happens.  ;)
