PSX -> USB adapter

Anyone had any experience with these? PSX controllers are easily the finest available, PC gamepads always seem to feel cheaply designed and lack a good button setup. Do the converters work alright in W2K?.

THEY ARE AWESOME !!!
Have two of them, and they work with ALL games. Quite expensive, but as you say if you already have the PSX controllers, they are the BEST controllers ever made!!! IMHO

Get the Smartjoy 3s as they support Force feedback and work with PS2 controllers as well as PS1.
I use a Sony Dualshock and a Hori Fighting Stick (Arcade machine style) to play Mame ( http://www.mameworld.net/ ) games with. They work perfectly. I use Win2K SP2 and DirectX 8.0. Comes with a driver CD for both Win9x and Win2K. Also the drivers are very good. Full graphic of the controller and all the buttons. Also, allows you to test out the force feedback in the control panel.
