			er, without a converter you're going to find it difficult to find a port on your PC that's the right shape for your gamepad...

			There are a few sites that detail how to build parallel port adapters for PS1/PS2 joysticks (even the Linux kernel has support for these devices).  Search on Google.

			A while back I bought a PS2->USB adaptor for $5. They're not too expensive if you shop around a bit.
