Ok guys I'm confused.. I just bought these DDR pads in china, and well the built in drivers are for windows 98 only since it only connects to computers through the printer port, and I have XP, and I have no way of installing those drivers :-\. I was thinking since these pads have both a printer (parallel) plug and a Playstation plug, I could maybe get a converter to USB and like just tell windows that it's a joystick/gamepad or something. However... I'm not sure which converter should I get.. Parallel to USB or PSX to USB.. Can someone give me a tip? I heard that PSX is bad cuz it can only transmit two buttons at once, but I don't know if parallel has the same problem, and it costs like 30 bucks instead of 10.

Or maybe is there some way to install a new set of drivers for printer port and not have to buy a converter? :)

Thanks guys
