Hi Z,
I just recently won one PSX to PC USB adapters from an online store called consolesource.com. The adapter works fine but has some problems with which PSX buttons/axes are mapped to the PC's buttons. For example, when I plugged in my Mad Catz PSX steering wheel into it, it reads the pedals as the PC's Z-axis. The problem is that many PC games do not allow you to map the accelerator/brake to this axis, therefore you cannot use the PSX' pedals in most PC racers.
My Namco PSX joystick works fine, but like the steeering wheel, some PSX buttons are mapped to strange PC buttons (like button 14).
Anyways, the company I won it from seems very good (they are based in Canada, but I got the device in about a week). Here's a link to the latest auction for this device, but it'll be over soon: http://page.auctions.yahoo.com/auction/48129094
Hope this helps.
