PSX -> PC adapter

Ok, I'm sure a number of people here have one of these things, but I'm looking to hear responses from those who have used their PSX controllers for fighting games on the PC. I picked up a Soyo branded one and the response time wasn't what I could use for games like Street Fighter, etc. The controller would be ok on games that didn't require quick response time, but this was not the case.

Anyone?

Anyone? Bumpage for a day later. Looking for some adapters here, definitely would like to use my PSX controllers for some good ol' Mame32 action.

Mine is a very basic Psx to parallel port. I use the PSXPAD driver. I am assuming yours is a USB one? They tend to be slow in response. My cheapo parallel port one does the job well. The psxpad driver seems to be pretty crappy at fighting game, so I do switch back and forth with Ntpad XP.
Mame doesn't work well for me neither. It will make my pad very sluggish. Try use joy2key and see if that helps.
If you are going to play street fighter (cps1/2 roms), I recommend you to use Kawaks or Nebula. They work a lot better than Mame.
 
Have one called the PS-PC USB Connector, pretty generic but it works flawlessly in mame, psx emulators, etc. Detects a PS controller as a 4 Axis 16 button joystick, you just need to configure games to use the the digital pad for movement, left analog is used as default.
