I have once seen a tutorial that modified a xbox memory device to connect it to the USB port of a computer.
If you can dig that one up, you should be able to locate the needed signals.
In my opinion, it isn't worth the effort, since you can buy very cheap gameport 2 usb cables on Ebay.
If you are already using all 4 of your gameports, that's something different.

regards.

thanks for the tips.
i saw the tutorial here on the scene
but not the other one.
with those two together i should be able to pull it off.
and i know they sell cheap cables. but i have the extra controller already
and i never use the memory slots (except when doin a softmod. but i got other controllers for that).
plus i like the idea of having it tucked away in the controller slot. no extra cables or anything.
