Gameport -> USB cable

[Pyotr]

I've recently bought myself an old joystick, the Cyborg 3D one. But it can only be connected to some port I don't have (I presume it should be connected to a sound card's gaming port or something, like in the good old days ). Are there cables to connect the joystick to a USB port or something? If not, what am I supposed to do?

is you sound on the mobo?
if it is then you have a game port on it aright next to the sound.

There's some port there, but the end of the joystick cable is much larger.

God I hope it's not one of those parallel jobs. I had an old steering wheel with a chunky what looked like an printer port. Couldn't find a damned converter anywhere...

Count the pins.....

25=parallel or db-25 scsi (not to be confused)

Alright, so if it is either, what do I do?

There are converters then?

There are parallel to usb and vice versa converters, if it really is parallel....
