I'll let you play with my joystick.

You wish... But it's not even working!

Firstly... best thread title ever!

My soundcard had the joystick port as a separate card in the box... maybe yours does too.

Sometimes mobos come with Gameport headers

Maybe it does, but I don't have one.

You could try making an adapter for it. These are the pins of that connector:

Game Port DB15-Female
1 -> +5V DC
2 -> Button 4 (A_PB1)
3 -> Position 0(A_X)
4 -> GND
5 -> GND
6 -> Position 1 (A_Y)
7 -> Button 5(A_PB2)
8 -> +5V DC
9 -> +5V DC
10 -> Button 6 (B_PB1)
11 -> Position 2(B_X)
12 -> GND
13 -> Position 3(B_Y)
14 -> Button 7 (B_PB2)
15 -> +5V DC

"try making", right. >_<
I'd rather buy one, actually.
