I still like my MS Sidewinder (game port version)

[San]

I just upgrade my computer and I noticed my new motherboard does not a a gameport. Now and then, I like to play my old school games and emulators (like Street Fighter, Neo Geo, etc). However I'm disappointed that I cant use my sidewinder anymore. Is there a peripheral that will allow me to use the sidewinder game pad again (buying soundcard with a gameport is not an option)? It is, by far, the best game pad for old school games ihmo.

The usb version of sidewinder is crap, and most gamepads today do not have 6 buttons on the face, but only 4 (like a PSX pad).

Hmm

I do not think I have room on my motherboard for a sound card since I run 2 8800GTS on SLI.

Besides, I like the built-in sound on the motherboard, excellent sound and never had problem with it.

Any other solutions on how to use my sdewinder? Are there no convertors, plugs, addon cards, adapters?

On a side note, its how these SLI mobos are built in a way that you have no more space when you go SLI GPUs. haha

While at Radio Shack yesturday i saw they carry a Game port to USB adapter. Google around i'm sure you can find one.

Yep, I got one with my Joystick that i got a few years back. 8)
