Newbie question (Joysticks)

Hi all,

I'm trying to put together a MAME machine, and I have a nice Playstation
"Arcade" dual joystick.

(Like this one here)

Can I use this stick with a Playstation to PC USB adapter (or 2) with MAME?

Any help is appreciated.

Tim

Yes, absolutely you can. I have one for my PC, because I've gotten used to
the PS2-style controller, and I've found they just don't make PC gamepads
that feel the same.

This one is well-thought of, and will get both sides of the thing attached
in one swell foop:
