Texasmame:
Thanx for all the input, guys.  Guess I'm going with the DS hack, if nothing else, for the ease of accessing my USB hub rather than fumbling around with the back of the box for the gameport any time that I might wanna swap stuff out, etc.

 :cheers:

DS hack was pretty easy and fun to do (if you like that kinda stuff, which, you probably do since you are reading this site at all).  Just had to replace the two thumb cherrys and it is good as new!

Think I'll try the joystick hack for my pedal with a pot but I'm not sure. . .

Thanx again for all the input!

 :cheers:

One other option. RadioShack and others sell gameport->USB adapters. About a month ago I saw them at RS clearanced to somewhere around $6. I think this is the method I'm going to use to hack my Atari 2600 paddle controllers. The adapter I have has worked fine for all of the steering wheels and gamepads I've thrown at it. Apparently it comes up as a generic HID joystick since my Mac even works perfectly with it.

Hmm. . . that sounds quick and probably cheaper than even the gameport hack.  I'll go try and find those tomorrow!
